Family and Consumer Sciences Explorations

Welcome to Family and Consumer Sciences Explorations!

Family and Consumer Sciences Explorations is a class for all 6th graders at Preston. This class is one quarter long, and students will take it at some point during their 6th grade year.

We move quickly through a lot of topics in Family and Consumer Science, including relationships (focusing on friends and family relationships), sewing, nutrition, and cooking. This class is project oriented, so students will do a lot of hands-on learning that will serve them right up through adulthood. 

Students will get an idea about what Family and Consumer Science is all about, and they can join me for other, more focused, electives in 7th and 8th grade.
