Food is a fantastic vehicle for providing an exciting learning adventure that will captivate students, and is versatile enough to connect to any academic medium - even language arts! In this inspirational and encouraging program, students will be absolutely thrilled with the African American contribution not only to culinary arts but to the entire world. By their inventions and achievements, billions of lives have been saved and joy has been brought to millions of people all over the world. This program showcases heroic African Americans who excelled in their time with perseverance, determination and willingness to make life better. Our program covers Edna Lewis, Rufus Estes, George Crum, George Washington Carver, Chef Hercules, Frederick McKinley, Alfred Cralle, Norbert Rillieux, and more. Virtual assemblies are fun, interactive, and tailored to the level and interests of your students. Students can participate from their homes, classrooms, computer lab, auditorium, or a combination that fits your school’s current situation. Chefsville’s Virtual programming combines lessons, images, videos, and equipment accumulated during hundreds of recipes exploring connecting math, science, language arts and social studies to cooking. Chefsville seeks to empower students in the kitchen, classroom and beyond! A variety of important life skills are woven into each virtual school program. They include: communicating effectively, teamwork, trust, kindness, having a positive attitude, and believing in yourself. Cooking a dish makes for a great finale to the online experience! Our 50 minute to 1-hour program includes connecting the academics with cooking, teaching aids, self-paced activities, and educational video vignettes.
