I have been working with the eighth grade teacher at MMS. Her content focus is on nutrition and budgeting. I am excited that I am able to teach nutrition, however, the budgeting aspect is not one of my favorites. Some of the information that she is going over is a review for me from when I sat in this class in eighth grade. I am looking at this as an opportunity to teach something that I would not choose to teach over the other different FCS topics. Budgeting is being wrapped up for the semester and the students were given a project to complete. They were given a scenerio of a person with their age, education, and marital status and were told to provide this person with a proper job, house, and a budget that would fit their income. This seemed to be a fun project for the kids and it really helped them comprehend the topic better because they had to critically think about what would work for this specific situation. While I am glad that I will soon be teaching the nutrition aspect of the course, I feel that it was beneficial for me to have sat in on classes about budgeting as well.
