At the beginning of last school year (08-09), I went to a training session by a fellow teacher. Our school system has adopted the module classroom (the program is called "Growing up Ready") from Paxton-Patterson for all 7th grade FACS classes. The teacher who held the training helped those of us who were new, get used to the program. Anyway, along with the training she passed along all of her great ideas for other units too!
In my classroom I implemented her idea of an "Apron Measuring Project" - basic idea: Each student comes up with a rough draft (on paper) of an apron design that includes various abbreviations, measuring tools, and equivalents. GREAT IDEA - especially when students are working on the modules and the different groups finish their module at different points...the answer was always "work on your apron!" FYI, we ordered the aprons from www.bestbuyuniforms.com and they are a great deal!
However, this year I have decided to cut costs so I took that original idea, changed and expanded on it and came up with...THE KITCHEN CALENDAR. Check it out on the documents website! If you have questions, email me!
