Weekly Update of Lansing High School Students Enrolled in KCKCC PCC - Early Childhood and Culinary
Lansing USD 469 is proud to highlight our Lansing High School students and graduates enrolled in Kansas City Kansas Community Center Pioneer Career Center (KCKCC PCC) each week.
EARLY CHILDHOOD
Rebus (Illustrated Instruction)
Early Childhood Education students demonstrated how to create healthy snacks with visual instructions for
children to self-serve. Students worked as a team to create a rebus or set of instructions, then prepared the snack menu component. A rebus is a visual representation made with pictures, so children can "read" them. This activity allows preschool and school-age children to develop independence and math skills and promotes healthy nutritional options. Early Childhood Education students learned how to create a menu component and build a hands-on activity for children rather than just serve snacks as a teacher.

CULINARY
Sausage
Foods III students ground the pork and seasoned it three different ways before casing some of the sausage in links and cooking it. The students made Irish sausage with colcannon, brats with a non fermented sauerkraut and bangers and mash with onion gravy.
Risotto and Gnocchi
Culinary students made parmesan, lemon with peas and vegan risotto. Risotto is a rice dish cooked with broth until it reaches a creamy consistency.
Students also made gnocchi which is considered part of the dumpling family in Italian cuisine. They are made of small lumps of dough most traditionally composed of a simple combination of wheat flour, egg, salt and potato. The students sautéed it in thyme-infused oil with or without peas.
