Wow, October is half way over, I feel like I am finally getting my head wrapped around the ins and outs or teaching Home Ec again! I meant to post more sooner, but just haven't had the time... but I want to post more! As a new home ec teacher, I am learning so much and want to share it with others who may find themselves teaching home ec, but also to seek ideas from those of you more experienced home ec teachers =)
My job share partner teachers M-W and typically does the recipe and demo with the students along with the lessons. My Thurs and Fri is typically cooking/lab days and on off weeks continuation of the lessons.
We are doing just foods/cooking, not sewing, which I have taught in the past (Sock Monkeys for 6/7s, PJ pants for 8s)
I wanted to share some of the labs we have made. I didn't get photos of the cheese scones, quesadilla, fruit tarts or berry muffins, however, I do have some of our other labs....
 |
| Grade 6/7s did fruit crisps... messy but delicious! |
 |
| Grade 8s did pizza pockets. Dough was Day 1, Stuffing was Day 2 |
 |
| Grade 6/7s made personal/co-operative pizzas |
 |
| My face says it all... this was my FIRST lab day, It felt so great to see all the students enjoying their muffins! |
 |
| Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins - these were so yummy! |
So, although things are VERY busy, they are going very well! I am really enjoying Home Ec and as first term comes to an end in a couple weeks, I feel like second term will be a blast now that I am used to my new position!!
