A delightful surprise appeared in my inbox: One of the teachers whose classes I popped into last week wrote all about the Chocolate Chip Cookie School experience. If you’re wondering how the Kickstarter campaign can translate into school, take a look!
3 Most Memorable Cookie School Debates
When you’re first learning, what you hear tends to stick.
- Evolution sequence: The chicken or egg debate continues to be my favorite part of the lessons. You really see kids’ different worldviews (e.g., evolution vs. creationism) through this topic.
- Cookie invention: The majority (I mean like 80%) of kids thought it more likely the chocolate chip cookie came to be after chocolate jiggled into the bowl of dough and broke into “chips” rather than that Ruth Graves Wakefield chopped up a chocolate bar. Yet as the kids spoke, a vision of a “myth busters” swam in my head.
- How do you choose which cookie to buy? This real world question of quantity versus size / quality versus price translates soooo well to every day consumer decisions. From my own experience, I just know kids will translate this life long. Or I hope so anyway!
Got a school, community center or home school group who wants to get cookie schooled? Please get in touch!
