My name is Ms. Valles and I have been the Family and Consumer Science/Foods teacher here at Lynn Middle School during this 2020-2021 virtual school year. Family and Consumer Sciences (Home Ec) class became a very useful tool for students during the Pandemic.
The objective for this project was to have my students use whatever they had at home to inspire them to learn something new or to demonstrate a talent they have already been working on developing.
They were allowed to choose anything they wanted as long as it didn't require buying anything new and it had to be of benefit to someone around them. Then, I or their other adult, could guide them through their chosen process. At the end, they had to reflect on how it made them feel personally (struggles, successes...).
Some students chose life hacks, some made blankets, gloves, rebuilt a car with dad, painted, told us stories, used a table saw....We welcome you to come inside and check out our virtual museum!
