This grant includes planning and creating a meal each week to correlate with the Scott Foresman stories that the students are required to read at the 5th grade level. The goal is to inspire and educate students about various foods, teach them how to prepare different types of meals and help them understand how the meals they are planning connect to the stories they will read about throughout the school year. After preparing and eating each meal students will be required to indicate what they have learned and enjoyed from the process and explain the communication between the meal they created and the story they read that particular week.
