Overall, I have no complaints about how this activity went. Every student was able to take their time mixing their pancake batter, cutting their fruit, cooking their pancake, and decorating them, all while still enjoying themselves and the food that they made.

Although I encountered some resistance about actually decorating the pancake, all of the students were excited to make their own pancake and plan out how they would decorate it. All of the toppings were used and the students kept in mind having a healthy balance of fruit to sweets on their pancakes.

With the fourth graders, we stuck with actually cooking the food, but wanted to add the challenge of them cooking their food themselves. By pouring and flipping the pancakes, the students had full control over what they were making.

As a group, we worked really well on being adaptive when it came to dividing measurements, taking turns between tables, and changing plans on the fly. One thing that did happen that we did not expect was that we needed to work faster than we were and then leave the energy balls in the freezer so that they would solidify, but hearing from the students the next day, they all enjoyed the snacks they created.

The students loved the idea that we were making healthy cake pops, and all of them were able to provide something new that they had learned from this activity.

For the third graders, we wanted to continue the theme of multi step activities that included measuring and mixing ingredients to create something.

Each student said that they enjoyed this activity, although many of them did not like the taste of the water or the yogurt. Some things I would change if I were doing this program again would be using a vanilla flavored yogurt instead of plain, and bringing more options of things that we could infuse in the water.

The students enjoyed the steps of mixing the yogurt with food coloring, crushing their graham crackers, and decorating their own snack

For our second week with the second graders, we wanted to incorporate a multi step activity. We wanted to start with an alternative to juice and soda and teach the students how to make their own flavored water. We also wanted to make eating yogurt more fun and appealing by creating Teddys on the Beach. These activities helped us achieve our goal of increasing independence in meal preparation skills.
