Welcome to Becca's Heart for FACS Education

From many years ago as member in 4-H and FHA clubs, my love grew for Home Economics-arts and teaching. As a certified FACS teacher of grades 6-12 in Illinois, I have a passion for all things home, family, and community related!

Adapting Daily 5 into Daily 3 for FACS Culinary Classtime Openers

Are you aware of how elementary teachers use Daily 5 for English-Language Arts and/or Math?

Well, I pondered the idea of having class starters (bell-ringer) be a Daily 5 or at least a Daily 3 with other course integration. This is what I've started with. I started with a bit on water, favorite foods, and then mostly about apples since September is their national recognition month. With the format, students can place the whole page in the composition notebook or it can be trimmed down to its daily section depending on how you want their INB or binder set up:

Culinary Week 1 Day 1
Culinary & ELA: Write a sentence about your 2 favorite foods & why they are your faves=






Culinary & Math: Make tally marks for every 8 ounces of water you have drank in past 24 hours=


Total # = _______
Culinary & Science & Technology: Find a reliable online source to research, record, and write 2 facts about apples=
  1. Source:
Fact:



(2) Fact:


Culinary Week 1 Day 2
Culinary & Social Studies & Tech.: What US state is known for volume of apple production?
_______________________

What region or coast of the US is this state found? _______________________
Culinary & ELA: Write a sentence about your 2 favorite apple recipes & why they are= 





Culinary & Math: Create a bar graph for # of servings of fruits & veggies you’ve eaten in past 24 hrs.= 







Culinary Week 1 Day 3
Culinary & Science/Tech: What do roses & apples have in common? Source:

Answer:



Culinary & Social Studies: Who is a famous US folk hero connected to apples? And why? Source:




Culinary & ELA: Besides eating an apple raw, list 9 other ways apples can be used in a menu=









Culinary Week 1 Day 4
Culinary & Math/Tech: How many calories are in 8 oz of apple juice?_________ How many calories are in 1 med. size apple? _________ Source=


Culinary & Science/Tech: Expand on the previous math ?--Why or how can there be a difference in the calories? 






Source:
Culinary & Social Studies/Consumer Ed./Tech: What are today’s advertised prices at ________________ store for 3 apple products?
  1. ____________________ = $

  1. ____________________ = $

  1. ____________________ = $

In the past I've used quotes or a sentence prompt for student responses. Has anyone done something like what is shown in this post?

Happy FACS planning for Fall 2019!

  1. Oh Becca, this is a wonderful idea. I taught elementary you know and before retirement I used the Daily 5 and absolutely loved it. It was the best system I ever used for teaching language arts. I think it could definitely be adapted for running any subject and breaks things up to deal with shorter attention spans of today's youth.

    1. Yes, I agree, besides bell-ringers, the lesson time could be utilized more in a Daily 5 format: meet with the teacher for a mini-lesson or assessment; do a station(s); required reading passage in a textbook or reference book or non-fiction; do some vocabulary or flash cards kind of small group review....thanks for feedback, Sandy!
