"Good morning, class! Today, we’re going to have a really fun lesson in our Doll Cooking Class. How many of you have ever cooked something before, even if it was just a pretend meal for your dolls? Cooking is very important because it helps us learn about food and how to stay safe in the kitchen. Can anyone tell me why it’s important to be safe while cooking? That’s right! We want to make sure we don’t hurt ourselves or anyone else. We'll also learn how to follow a recipe, which is like a map for our cooking adventures! Are you ready to get started?"
"Alright, it’s time for everyone to get a little hands-on! I’m going to hand out recipe cards to each of you. These cards will help you know what ingredients we will ‘cook’ with today. When you get your recipe card, take a look at the list of ingredients and the steps we need to follow. Remember, these cards are your guides! Raise your hand if you have any questions about your recipe card."
"Now, let’s dive into our cooking activity! Using the plastic food items and our recipe cards, I want each of you to set up your own pretend cooking station. Start by gathering the ingredients that your recipe calls for. Remember to measure them carefully! Measuring is very important because it helps us make sure our ‘meal’ turns out just right. As you pretend to cook, make sure you’re following all the safety rules I just mentioned. For example, always pretend to wash your hands before you begin, and be careful with your utensils. I will walk around to see how everyone is doing. Have fun cooking for your dolls!"
"Alright, everyone, it looks like we had some amazing cooking stations! Now, please bring me your completed recipe cards. I want to see what you’ve created today. Once you have handed in your cards, I’d like you to take a few minutes to think about your cooking experience. If you have time, you can fill out this reflection worksheet to share what you learned. What did you enjoy the most? What was the most challenging part? Feel free to take your time!"
"To wrap up our lesson, let's have a brief discussion. Who can share one of their favorite parts about today’s cooking class? It could be about your favorite ingredient or a fun part of pretending to cook. Remember, you don’t have to present your recipe cards again, just share what you felt was interesting or fun. Thank you all for your wonderful contributions today! Remember what you learned, and think about how you can use these cooking skills at home. I can’t wait to read your homework about it!"
