Lesson Plans
These new Growing Chefs! Lesson Plans are designed to offer safe ways to continue learning about food while teachers and students are navigating at home and in school adjusted learning structures while aiding students in meeting Learning Expectations cited in the Ontario Elementary School Curriculum. We have been hard at work adapting our programming to help students safely continue to engage with food in meaningful ways with interactive resources and fun activities!
