Dr. Penrose's "Name It, Claim It": LHS Culinary Arts Teacher Stephanie Phelps
There are incredible lessons, projects, and opportunities for students throughout Lansing High School. To share these initiatives, Dr. Penrose sends an all-staff email with pictures of an assignment, project, or activity and titles it "Name It, Claim It." The teacher responsible then replies to all staff to briefly explain what the unit is, what they are doing, and any reactions. The email allows teachers to visit other teachers' classrooms virtually and start conversations about student learning, cross-curricular activities, and differentiation.
The September 7, 2023 "Name It, Claim It" highlighted Culinary Arts teacher Stephanie Phelps:
"The Culinary Essentials class made Skillet Ranch Burgers after learning about Food Safety through the National Restaurant Association. They got to practice making their own Ranch Rub, using the Ice Point Method to collaborate the thermometer, handling raw beef, washing their hands (over and over), and taking the temperature of their burger properly in order to ensure it was safe to eat. Each student made and took the temperature of their own burger and recorded the temperature in their lab evaluation.
We have a couple students who need accommodations, Tarri did an awesome job working with them to make Grilled Cheese sandwiches during this lab. Thank you Tarri!
It's all good under the vent hood!"
