One of the values that we hold as UE Berkeley Public Schools Program is building community with our students. This year our teacher, Mrs. Nautu and Mental Health Counselors are collaborating in having a weekly cooking class with our life skills students. Every week students choose a different dish to cook, make a grocery list, and practice budgeting when prepping for cooking class. Aside of learning new dishes, students are encouraged to share and teach other dishes from their cultures and family traditions.
For the first time this year, we collaborated with another Special Education program on campus and hosted a community Fall Celebration. We had many of our students, staff, and school staff participate. It was beautiful to see our students cook up so many amazing dishes while engaging in community with their peers and teachers. We hope to make this an every year tradition!
