It's Been A While!

Sorry I haven't been keeping up with the happenings in my room . . . so here's an update:

Child Development - After the DC trip and FFA field trips we finally had a test Monday over Chapter 5. Students will now be assigned a study guide to go along with Chapter 6 and discussion will include healthy eating habits during pregnancy.

Accounting I - Students continue to work on packets and most have finished the first payroll and turned in the first audit report.

Consumerism & Clothing - EVERYONE is busy sewing and some have even finished their first pair of PJ Pants! I want them to make a second pair without any help from me (reading directions is one of my main goals in this class!). We have had some memorable moments from "uni-legs" to having the draw string come out the back of the waist band! BUT . . . with a little "tweaking" they are all "wearable"!
NOTE . . . The Practical Arts Fair is May 2 and I'm hoping that some of the pants will be entered!

Intro to Child Care - Students have finally gotten to go out to the "real world" and work with kids at three different settings. They will be evaluated by the supervisor and also write a journal to share their experiences. I feel this is a very worth while part of this class. One other project is we will be going to C & M Elementary to do a project with the Kindergarten class on April 25.

Yearbook - Final sales have been turned in and 26 more pages will be sent by the end of the week. The girls have been working hard to produce a book that will be full of memories. Hope you had a chance to get yours ordered! See me if you have questions.

Speech - Four senior girls and I finally made it to UNI and All-State. Even though we didn't get anyone to this festival as far as speaking, we did have a chance to listen to some great speakers . . . many of them were at Walnut Hill! Pictures will follow (as soon as I get them downloaded!).

Guess that about covers everthing for the past three weeks . . . check back again and hopefully I'll have some pictures!
