Sew What...
The sixth graders and seventh graders are progressing beautifully. Projects are being turned in and students are very excited about their finished products. Some of the projects are footballs, soccer balls, pillows and animals. The seventh graders will start sewing their projects on the machines this Monday, Nov. 19th.
Complete Chef Classes have started something new and exciting. We are sharing recipes with each other online. I have asked my students to search the Internet and find 10 recipes. Then they are required to email them to me. It is very exciting to communicate with them once they have emailed me. Some of these recipes we will be preparing in class.
It is a digital world...
Here are some examples:
A Great Start!

This week the sixth graders learned to sew buttons and they were so excited to make their own pin cushion!
Their sewing projects were just delivered today.
Next week we will start working on their projects. First they will cut the fur, then they will pin the pattern pieces together, and then they will start to sew.
The seventh graders are also working on their first project from boxers, sweatpants, pjs, to capris. They have been pinning and cutting! Monday they will be ready to sew on the machines.
The eighth graders have also been very busy this week. We made chocolate chip cookies and cheese omelets. It was great being back in the kitchen. We reviewed abbreviations and measurements.
