Course Description: In this class, we will explore different crafts and learn the basics of cooking, baking and some “home ec” skills. Students will be expected to observe procedures and directions while also actively participating in the different projects. Students are expected to research projects and recipes and come to class full of ideas and enthusiasm. We hope to apply as much real-world experience to this class as possible.
Craft projects may include the following: lanyard, friendship bracelets, beading, and other seasonal crafts. Cooking projects will have a focus on ethnic foods. Students will also engage in recipes which include: breakfast items, soups, appetizers, and other seasonal dishes. There will be lots of opportunities for student choice in the projects. Students will have opportunities to work with others and cook/bake at home as well.
