Classroom Management Plan

 

     Welcome to FACS!  I hope you had a great summer as I did.  I am excited about this first semester and the great opportunities we will have to learn valuable life skills that will start you on your journey toward becoming independent, productive citizens. 

     We will start the nine week course learning about self-concept, having good character, how to make good decisions, goal setting, and what kind of career we would like to pursue.  After approximately four weeks we will create a letter pillow, learning how to sew safely by machine and by hand.  During this time we will also learn about clothing selection and care.  We will finish the 9 weeks learning to be wise consumers.

Items needed for class

 

-         Folder for FACS only with pockets

-         Loose leaf paper

-         pencil

 

Items  required to be brought to class daily

 

-         FACS folder

-         Pencil

-         Textbook

-         any completed homework assignment or projects
