The Cooking Day Saga, Part 1-Let's All Say Yay For Cooking Day!

This will be the first post of a three post series on the events that transpired one Thursday and Friday.  In real life, the events that transpired  were hilarious.  The events in blog world may not be as humorous.  Humor me.  I need blog material.

Each Thursday we cook.  For six hours I insure nothing is burning down (sidenote-I haven't always been successful with this.  Perhaps that story will be shared one day), no one gets hurt, and edible food is made (another side note-I had no idea how ambitious of an idea this would be when I first undertook this genius idea).  Despite the chaos, it's a fun day.

Yesterday we made Microwaved "Baked" Apples.  As the smell of them wafted all over the school, people wandered in and out of the kitchen wanting to try a bit.  I'm not going to lie.  It was an enviable treat.

Not all students pass through my class. IEP goals determine who get to see me.  Around lunch time, one sweet student, who I don't have, came into my room crying.

Sweet Student:  "Miss Darcie, can I cook today?  I miss cooking."

Me:  "You can come in 6th hour if it's ok with your teacher.  Go ask Ms. M, and if she says yes, come on in."

SS (sniffling, but smiling):  "Ok."

Well, Sweet Student came in 6th hour and told me her teacher had given her permission to cook.  She was thrilled, and it made my heart happy to see her so excited.
