Description
Time for a celebration! Cinco de Mayo is a great celebration about overcoming obstacles even when the odds seem overwhelming, and students will learn to apply the story of Cinco de Mayo to their lives as they learn about the holiday's history in this program. Students will embark on a journey of discovery as they learn about Mexico's struggles for independence from Spain and other nations who conquered it. They will also explore how the Native Americans, Mexicans, and Texans traded goods and equipment needed for their basic needs. Students will join the Chef in a culinary adventure that highlights some of the ingredients and dishes that are popular on this holiday and will own their own, make, assemble, and taste a dish that celebrates Cinco de Mayo. Chefsville’s asynchronous and hybrid programming with Zoom/Skype combines lessons, images, videos, cooking demonstrations, and equipment to explore the connections with math, science, language arts and social studies to cooking.
