🍳 NEW: In an #Indianapolis special ed #classroom, teacher Gabrielle Carpenter runs FUNctional Fridays, where K-2 students with #disabilities cook simple #recipes using microwaves and air fryers instead of knives or stoves.
The lessons build counting, sequencing, and emotional regulation, and weeks without #cooking are spent running a #coffee cart that teaches safe movement through the #school.
