Say Goodbye to Summer and Hello FALL 2013

Hello Parents & Students,

Welcome to Cooking and Baking Class for Kids! I hope you are looking forward to a fun experience for your child as much as I am. The students will be using the stove and oven but I will be instructing, supervising and involved in every step of the preparation of the recipes.

Please let me know if your child has ANY food allergies or sensitivities. Email me at ilcscookingelective@gmail.com.

For my class to be successful it is very important that all students are good listeners and careful in class. Please review the kitchen safety rules with your child (I will also be going over the rules with them). If a student is misbehaving inappropriately he or she will not be permitted to participate with our cooking/baking class for that day. I will provide coloring books and crayons for those individuals who are misbehaving. If the behavior continues I will drop the student from the Cooking and Baking Elective Class. It is a privilege to be in any elective class and inappropriate behavior only takes away time from the other kids who want to learn. I want to make sure everyone has fun, but I must keep the safety of all the children in mind.

***PLEASE NOTE***The cost of the class differs by day. Monday & Wednesday is $65 for 9 weeks of cooking class, Tuesday and Thursday is $52 for 7 weeks of cooking class. I will NOT be teaching on the last day of the month on Tuesday, September 24th and Thursday, September 26th and on Tuesday, October 29th and Thursday, October 31st. ILCS Teachers have monthly meetings the last Tuesday of every month and the meetings are held in the Lion’s Den. Extended days are held on the last Thursday of every month at CSC. *If you attend BSC and are in my class you will not have an elective on Thursdays the last day of the month when extended day takes place at CSC. Please make your check payable to Esmeralda Williams, cash is also accepted.

I don’t foresee having to cancel any classes but in the event that we do, we will notify you via a phone call. I am provided with the phone number you have on file. If there is a different number where you would like to be contacted, please email it to me at ilcscookingelective@gmail.com
I have lots of fun recipes planned. I hope your child enjoys our cooking and baking class. Most of all, I hope your child surprises you and makes a few of the recipes he/she learned to prepare in our class! :)
