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= 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? ____________________ = $ ____________________ = $ ____________________ = $

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!

Morsel of an Idea: Interactive Notebook Culinary Math page and a Sewing Math page

Math in Culinary classes--reviewing tablespoons in a cup and Math in Sewing classes--reviewing inches in a yard

This week I've spent a lot of time looking at elementary teacher blogs to see what great ideas I can "steal" and tweak for FACS classes. And at least 2 kindergarten teachers have introduced notebooks during their math/calendar group time in order to keep the kinders engaged. Both have sheets inserted into page protectors so that students can use dry erase or Vis-à-vis markers on them. Children can have practice pages with sample copies of what gets introduced or reviewed on the bulletin board. If not familiar with "calendar" boards math times, it is a whole group instruction time to only take 10 minutes or so to cover day of the week, yesterday was, today is, tomorrow will be, today's weather, today's season, the number of the day expressed in ones or tens, the number of the school day expressed in ones or tens or hundreds, and any additional concepts and/or skills the teacher wants to include.

Since I've had high school students struggle with simple mathematics necessary for cooking and sewing, I thought maybe creating some culinary math and sewing math calendar notebook pages would help. Students can have a section in their binder for the "calendar" work.

Culinary and Math Cup and Tablespoons measurements

1 cup =	___ ___ tablespoons
½ cup =	___ ___ tablespoons
¼ cup =	___ ___ tablespoons
¾ cup =	___ ___ tablespoons
3 teaspoons =	___ tablespoon
1 cup =	3 x 16 = ___ ___ teaspoons

and for sewing:

Sewing and Math Yard Fractions

4/4 = 1 yard =	_______ inches
½ or 2/4 yard =	_______ inches
¾ yard ( ¼ + ¼ + ¼)=	_______ inches
¼ yard =	_______ inches
3/3 = 1 yard =	_______ inches
⅓ yard =	_______ inches
⅔ yard  (⅓ + ⅓ )=	_______ inches

Completed sample of Culinary Arts hospitality vocabulary activity

Interactive notebook entry & pineapple symbol for hospitality used for vocab terms

For teacher's sample interactive notebook:

and see what is folded and attached to the back side of the pineapple:

The instruction sheet has been trimmed down, folded, and only taped along the back of the title end. Students will be expected to tape it (pineapple) only along one side to create a hinge and make it easy to grade.

Note: Something I thought of later was citing websites/sources for definitions. Please look carefully at the leaves.

Another hospitality resource using pineapple motif

Hospitality Terms to review

Entry for interactive notebook if trimmed/fussy cut before taping or gluing onto next page of composition notebook

Terms and directions for vocabulary activity: (there are many more terms available)

Pattern sheet that accompanies the vocabulary activity:

Hope you and your students have fun with this interactive differentiated vocabulary activity for hospitality!

Hospitality Symbol posters

Poster 1 creation

Welcome students to the FACS department with historical connections

Before being adopted in the South or along the East coast, pineapples have been linked to extravagant hostesses and royalty throughout Europe as well as to seafaring captains proclaiming they were back home and able to welcome visitors.

So why not welcome students to your FACS department classroom with pineapple motifs?!?!!!!

Poster 2 creation

Morsels: advanced foods class lab and hospitality symbol introduction

Introducing the pineapple as a symbol of generosity, hospitality, and welcome

Students living in southern United States or along the eastern coast may be more familiar with seeing pineapple emblems at the front door or even carved into the furniture compared to Midwest, Great Plains, and West Coast counterparts. 

Using fresh pineapple or pineapple theme decorative accessories can be a reflection on the host and hostess for being hospitable and generous.

This handout can be used at the start of a school year or unit about hospitality or could be an additional lesson and/or lab when covering fruits and fruit salads.

Pineapple Boat Fruit Salad Lab

Additional skills and concepts for advanced foods students (Culinary Arts) would be: food presentation, garnishing, knife skills, various fruits prepping, historical connection, and geographical connection. This lab would also be great for students not to enjoy themselves but to serve to faculty and administration.

Life preservers: Starting entries for Intro to FACS interactive notebook

Acrostic "poem" could double as a title page

Students will receive just the typed form and can then INTERACT with it by trimming it down with decorative edge scissors and adding color with their responses. I plan for this to be done on Day 1 with brainstorming and collaborating going on around the room. Intro to FACS is my last class of the day, so I hope this will be a fun active way to start the school year for them.

2 fives with their hand tracings: 5 behaviors or attitudes accepted at home and 5 behaviors or attitudes they expect to see in the FACS classroom=

These two entries will be great for me to read during the first few days of schools by allowing to "see into their minds".

As you might be able to see by the paper, I am using composition notebooks. I've pre-numbered the first 50 pages and plan to do mine chronologically. I plan to include reflective pieces along with the teacher-provided notes, worksheets, handouts, quizzes, etc. For Foods I and Culinary Arts classes and when Intro to FACS has food labs, I think I might have them tab the recipe entries, so if they keep their notebooks for years to come they can quickly flip to the recipes. Just thinking phase now for that...wait and see! :)
