Needed supplies:
- Pencil and highlighter
- 3-ring binder just for FACS
- Straight pins (approximately 100, the type with the balls on the end work best)
- Pin cushion
- Apron (will be made during the sewing unit)
- Head gear and close-toed shoes on lab days
Students will start out the school year sewing. They will make aprons, using the sewing machines. They will have the opportunity to embroider their name on their apron using the embroidery machine. Pattern, fabric and thread will be provided for them. The second week of December they will begin a unit called "Learning About You" in which they will cover topics such as who am I?, personality traits, growth and development, family, friends, and communication. Shortly after the start of semester two they will study nutrition with emphasis on MyPlate and the food groups that make up MyPlate. They will then put their nutrition knowledge and culinary skills to use studying and preparing fruits, vegetables, quick breads, dairy products and eggs.
