Books with author George B. Johnson

Cooking in a primary classroom? Why not? But it sounds so frivolous! What's educational about cooking? Lots of things... Cooking gives young children a chance to put to practical use their basic skills of reading and arithmetic. To be a good cook, boys and girls must read recipes and instructions and measure ingredients correctly. Cooking helps develop coordination and motor skills and makes the physical senses more perceptive. The cooking experience can be integrated with lessons on consumer awareness, nutrition, science, arts & crafts, studies of other cultures, and food service careers. In this book, teachers share their experiences, know-how, and recipes with teachers, parents, and others who work with young children!
