On January 31 millions of people around the world will be celebrating the Lunar New Year - the year of the Horse. Since my new year on January 1 started out like a blur, I think I will take a "do over" and begin the new year this weekend.
My first start of the New Year began with a resolution to limit my "sarcasm" - needless to say it was a true, unmitigated failure! Maybe it lasted 24 hours! Sad, but True :(
So my new, New Years Resolution is to complete this Capstone project with a positive attitude, believing that my students truly get the intersections of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics within the curriculum of Family and Consumer Science.
It has been a difficult marking period, with many breaks in learning as snow days, half days and holidays have broken up any real flow. A few more days, and a formative evaluation will show me if my students truly grasped the concepts. I must say their sewing projects were well designed; most figured out the relationship of engineering, planning and the process. So tomorrow we begin the evaluation - I know they will show their understanding (this is not sarcasm!) Thursday we will create our New Years meal - Fried Rice; a blending of Asian - American Cuisine.
So speaking of Fried Rice - FCCLA is selling Seasoned Rice Packets to benefit Share Our Strength:No Child Hungry campaign. $5 donation and you to can make Fried Rice with my "famous" recipe. I deliver to my followers as Southern Regional and South Jersey.
Happy New Year - The Year of the Horse!
Let the work begin... or at least continue.
