Family and Consumer Sciences

7th Grade Program

Dear Parents:

The goal of Family and Consumer Sciences education at the middle level is to provide classroom experiences which allow students to develop the knowledge and skills needed to become independent, responsible, and contributing family and community members. Through performance tasks and authentic performance assessments, students have the opportunity to demonstrate their understanding of the concepts which will help them manage the challenges of daily living.

7th Grade Curriculum Topics:

• Kitchen safety and food safety

• Basic food preparation emphasizing healthy food preparation

• Measuring skills and recipe math

• Introduction to nutrition: Dietary Guidelines 2010

• Portion Awareness

• Basic clothing care and repair

• Applied measurement – Backpack sewing project

Students are graded based upon lab participation, completion of in-class work assignments, homework and projects. It is the student’s responsibility to check with the teacher about making up class work missed due to absence. Coursework takes place during 15 class meetings over a 6-week time period.

Please help your child be prepared with the following supplies which are due _________________:

1. Program letter signed by a parent or guardian

2. One-inch 3-ring binder (will be used for all Arts classes).

3. Pen or pencil for every class.

4. $6.00 (cash only) for drawstring bag supplies to be purchased by FCS teacher. If a student would like to choose their own fabric simply bring in ½ yard of a cotton-blend fabric and a $1.00 for the cording and thread.

Please feel free to contact us via e-mail if there is a question or concern.
