The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is officially a pandemic, and depending on where you live, you are either close to some burgeoning centers of disease or are anticipating cases emerging in the coming days. While everyone is figuring out what songs work best to ensure proper hand-washing time, and learning how to DIY hand sanitizer with a passion shown only by the slime-making tweens of yesteryear, we thought it might be a good time to talk about some basic pantry staples you should actually stock up on.

Teacher Note:
Your whole life people have asked you, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” The older you get, the more pressure you have to make that decision. Researching careers can help you find the career path that is meant for you.
When Mrs. Harris was a junior in college, she was told she could not enroll until she declared a major. She had no idea what she wanted to do but knew she wanted a career that she could enjoy so she could wake up every morning happy to go to work. Mrs. Harris went home and printed off a list of degrees the college offered and started highlighting different options that she thought she might like. When she came across Family and Consumer Sciences Education she wondered if that meant “Home Ec.” so she contacted the college and verified that FACS was indeed what was also known as Home Economics. After reading the course listings and requirements, Mrs. Harris knew instantly that she was meant to be a FACS teacher. Before that moment, she had never even considered it. Since that moment, she has been passionate about her career. This is not an attempt to recruit FACS teachers but a true sharing of a personal search for a career field. Mrs. Harris is sharing this perspective because if she had not started researching all available options, even the ones she had not considered before, she may not have ever found a career that she was excited about and still enjoys.
