After-School Cooking Class at Knoxville Botanical Gardens

I have volunteered with LCBC several times in the past, however this was my first time with the Christenberry elementary group. I was so impressed with the overall group of children and the specific group of 5th grade boys that I directed in baking black bean brownies and making a super smoothie. I worked alongside Judi who was a very helpful partner. The group of boys I worked with were very knowledgeable and willing to try new things. They kept the area tidied and took turns without me having to facilitate directly. I really like the new aspect of having a group presenter for when meal time is served, it helps build confidence in speaking (which is something I know I needed as a child). Overall, this was a great experience coming back to LCBC for the new year.
