Rocking the Vote!
Over the last month, students in Community Literature and Humanities 101 have been learning about voting and the importance of it, as well as registering to vote in the upcoming election! Students were and are continuously being educated on the different political parties to greater understand what ideas are important to them, as well as what they agree and disagree with! In class students have participated in brainstorming activities surrounding what the word "vote" means to them, understanding who the candidates are, and how self advocacy allows them to feel. As the election inches closer students will continue to be exposed to current events surrounding the election and the candidates as well! Our hope is that going into election day on November 6th, students feel more empowered than ever to make a choice that they are comfortable with! Take a look at some of the students mailing in their registration forms for the election! Have a great weekend! -Ari Simner [email protected] Taste Buds Kitchen
The Sheepshead Bay Cohort has been attending a weekly cooking class at Taste Buds Kitchen right here in the heart of Chelsea. Each week they don their aprons and follow the instructions of a professional chef to create delicious treats. This semester the theme has been vegetables and fruits and each week specific color has been featured. So far, they have made Carrot Cake mini muffins, Red Velvet Whoopie pies with beets in the batter and even Eggplant Fries! The students love the experience of working in a professional kitchen just like those on popular cooking shows. Specific skills that they get to practice include: pouring, mixing, cracking eggs and using simple appliances such a hand mixer. The class takes place on Wednesday afternoons so be sure to check in with your child about what they made and ask them if they have a doggie bag! You might have a treat for the whole family.
