Late Posts


Here are a couple more cool projects the FACS classes made. Today in class we had our first foods lab, but I didn't get any pics because my camera battery is dead. The students made Thunder Twists (pretzels) and Thunder Juice (orange julius). My room smelled great!!

Bread Lab


The Foods class made several different breads for our carbohydrate unit. They turned out pretty good. We also had a pasta and rice lab to look at the differences in whole grain vs white foods.

Designer Painting

Today in Fashion students were given the challenge of designing an outfit using a monochromatic color scheme. They could only use 1 hue, but they had endless values. So far, I am impressed. Take a look at some of the work.




I have such talented students! :-)

Today in Fashion the students learned about the color wheel. Then they painted one. They worked together well to create the colors. Good job guys!

Sewing Lab


My FACS Exploration students started sewing their first project in class today. We are making pillow cases. So far, so good. The pillowcase pattern we use is really cool and it turns out nice. It is a great first project.
