Lesson Plans *New 2020

At Growing Chefs! Ontario we believe the best way to learn about and explore food is through in person, hands on, experiential learning. Unfortunately this option is not available to us currently, so we have been hard at work adapting our programming to help students continue to engage with food in meaningful ways without preparing and sharing food together. After all, food is still an effective vehicle for applying skills learned in the classroom to our day to day lives!

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. (Social Studies Grades 1-6, Geography and History Grades 7-8; Health, Grades 1-8; Literacy, Grades 1-8).

There is no cost to using these lessons/resources, but we do ask that after using any of the lessons or activities/resources that you please fill out our feedback survey. Lesson Plan Feedback Survey (The survey can be completed in under 10 minutes)
