Doll Designing

In Fashion we have had a paper doll designing contest. Some of the doll submitted turned out soooooo cute! And the winner is... these 5 dolls! A doll per decade! Great job!Here are some of the other great ones...

Favorite Recipe Day

My Foods classes had their favorite recipe lab day. Most of the classes made calzones or fettuccine alfredo. My room got hot, but it sure smelled nice. This group made a massive calzone. They gave me a sample... it was yummy!

Designing

The FACS students have started piecing thier projects together. So far so good! They are turning out pretty cool!

Painting

Today in FACS students graduated from frosting to paint. Students are working on their room designs. They have sketched out their room, picked a color scheme for their room and now they painting different values of the colors they chose. Here are a couple of girls, hard at work!!

Cookie Color Wheels

The FACS classes have started learning about interior design, starting with the color wheel. Each student made a color wheel with nilla wafers, frosting and food coloring. Most of the color wheels turned out fairly well! Good job guys!

Apple Crisp and Homemade Ice Cream

The Foods classes today made Apple Crisp and Homemade Ice Cream. The ice cream is a lot of work (shake, shake, shake) so most of the groups ended up drinking theirs, but they said it still tasted good. Several groups gave me samples of their apple crisp (I think I ate about a batch all by myself) and I can say... it was good!!

Color Coding

In Fashion on Friday, the student color coded themselves. It was fun to see and hear the different opinions about certain colors on each of the girls. They did a great job.

Imagination

In FACS I had students draw a picture of an imaginary creature. Then they had to partner up and describe their creature to their partner so their partner could try to draw the origional creature. Here is an example of what was turned out. This partnership did a really good job- their pictures turned out fairly close.

The objective was to consider that children learn differently than adults, so sometimes we need to adjust our language into terms that children will understand.
