On the web you will find 5 worksheets that need to be completed. Chocolate chip Recipe, Term definition, Food term worksheet with the term cream being the center word, and kitchen utensil ID. With Kitchen utensil ID you will need to find 10 utensils that are in the kitchen, name them, draw a picture of them and tell their job. with the Term definition worksheet you will need to get on the Internet and look up the term cream as it pertains to cooking, follow directions on the Worksheet. The rest of the work sheets are self explanatory. If there are any questions contact me.<br /><br />6th grade- We have been working on cooking measurements and preparing to cook.

We are onto new things. Our Sewing unit is complete. There are still a few students who have not completed their projects so I will be available on Monday if they would like to stay after to finish up. <br /><br />7th grade-Yesterday in class we talked about food terms and reading a recipe. WE used Amelia Bedelia as an example and how she does things literally. In cooking we must use terms and we need to know the definitions or we cannot cook the recipe correctly. Complete the word web placing the term CREAM in the middle. Define cream, give words that mean the same and word that mean something different, Draw cream and give it in a sentence. Google to research your information. Today we will be talking about bacteria and hand washing. Go to my website to get the worksheet and information to read to find your answers. Look under 7th grade, the cooking portion to find worksheets.<br /><br />6th grade yesterday we began by talking about tools in the kitchen. Review the tools in your own kitchen by going on a scavenger hunt. Use the worksheet provided under 6th grade, cooking.Kristen Fawcetthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02098335743307789988noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5734675353537466907.post-48718143306221864672009-11-19T11:22:00.001-08:002009-11-19T11:25:18.217-08:007th grade --- If you will not be here Friday because of illness or just because you are having fun at the football game you will be missing our unit 1 test.

There were some that handled it better than others but after I told them it was a fake assignment you could see relief on their faces. We summed up the feelings that were results of the external stress.<br />Finally we practiced coping mechanisms such as counting and breathing techniques that help when we are stressed.<br /><br />Homework-File folder must be completed.<br /> parent signature on rules and disclosure<br /> person made of 6 different favorite foods<br /><br />6<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">th</span> grade-<br />We talked about self and how we are each different.

I used a process in class where the students needed to use inductive reasoning, and logic generalizing to produce a claim or principle from explained instances. I had two headings voluntary and mandatory; we defined each, one being you must do it and the other being optional whether you complete. I also instructed them about labels and how before 1994 they were confusing to the consumer because the manufactures could put whatever they wanted on the labels to make them look good. After this presentation I had the students talk in groups and sort sub headings or definitions what they believed would be mandated by law or voluntary by the companies because they wanted to help sell their product. As they categorized and finished their sorting I would go around and tell them how many they had correct. Then they would get a minute to reevaluate and change their sub headings. At the end we went through this as a group and the students had to defend their positions as to why they believed the way they did about the way they placed information. Using evaluation to judge and classify their beliefs and then having to defend their stance the students were able to retain information about what the governments regulates and what the company volunteers to place on a label.<br /><br />11/5/09-<br />The sixth grade is finishing up their sewing project. Our objective was to have each student be able to sew a 1/4 inch and 5/8 inch seam as well as thread the machine.<br /><br />The 7th grade is finishing labels and tomorrow the counselor will come in to teach them about career choices. <br /><br />Tomorrow, (Friday) will be may last day with these classes.

You have done so well!<br /><br />The Sixth grades have begun working on the sewing machines. they have learned what a 1/4 inch and 5/8 inch seam is and have learned to pivot. They also have cut out their patterns for their puppets. They will learn to thread a machine today. In order to make this up I suggest that if you are at home and have a machine that you experiment as machines are similar.Kristen Fawcetthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02098335743307789988noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5734675353537466907.post-24281337335627063492009-10-22T19:18:00.000-07:002009-10-22T19:29:44.709-07:00What has been going on 10/21Today in 6th grade we talked about what will be going on tomorrow.
