What's Cooking in FACS!
7th Grade Family and Consumer Science with Mrs. Bodkin
Spring is Finally Here!! Sort of.
I hope that your children have been enjoying FACS. We have made Bowknots and Super Chocolate Chip Cookies. Perhaps they have made some for you! We have covered Kitchen and Food Safety as well as proper measuring techniques and equipment.
Your children have also learned the fine art of laundry. Their one and only homework assignment is to complete a load of laundry and fill out the Laundry 101 worksheet along with acquiring your signature. This is due Monday/Tuesday. I have a copy of the worksheet on my Vision site if your child has misplaced their copy.
