🌾❤️ Learning skills that last beyond the classroom!
We love seeing our teachers find creative ways to prepare students for life after high school, and Mrs. Thibodeaux is doing exactly that with her Senior Ag class!
She recently introduced her students to “Dude Food” — a fun, hands-on lesson designed to get students comfortable making simple, hearty, nutritious meals they can prepare on their own after graduation.
Students work together in class to prep the ingredients and get their meal going in the Instant Pot, but the lesson doesn’t stop in the kitchen! They also calculate the cost per serving and compare it to eating out, showing them just how much money they can save by cooking at home. 💰🍽️
As Mrs. Thibodeaux explained, her job as an Ag teacher is not only to introduce students to different career opportunities, but also to help prepare them to be successful in everyday life.
Career skills. Cooking skills. Budgeting skills. Independence. 👏
We are SO thankful for teachers like Mrs. Thibodeaux who find fun and meaningful ways to make learning practical, memorable, and relevant for our students! ❤️🖤🤍
And we have a feeling the Senior Ag class won’t complain about getting to taste-test their lessons either! 😋
📖 And be on the lookout for the Senior Ag “Dude Food” Recipe Book… coming soon! 👀🍴
