Teachers Bring Food Literacy into the Classroom with Foodwise Kids |
Every Tuesday and Thursday, the CUESA Kitchen opens up for Foodwise Kids, a free program for elementary school classes that uses the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market as a classroom for basic cooking skills and food literacy. Elementary school teachers like Loretta bring their students to the farmers market to transform their eating habits and relationship with food.
“It really benefits the students by opening their mind more,” says Loretta Encelan, a second-grade teacher at Gordon J. Lau Elementary School. “Teaching them that they have a choice of what they can eat and how they can eat it is key.” |
