Home Ec Program

As I mentioned in yesterday's post, I have created a small Home Ec program for our new school year. Grace is 11 and needs to start learning some skills for later in life and skills that she can use now. The topics I chose are very simplistic and as each year comes and goes I will continue creating new programs with more topics. We will only be doing Home Ec once a week unless she just really enjoys it and wants to add more days. Here is the table of contents so far:

• Egg Cookery - all about eggs and how to cook them
• Etiquette
• How to Cook Chicken and safety concerns with handling chicken
• Table Setting
• Casserole Dishes
• Quick Breads - muffins, banana bread, difference between baking soda and powder
• Laundry
• Ironing
• Health and Fitness - importance of healthy foods and exercise
• First Aid

It will probably take us most of the year to get through these concepts. The Egg, Casserole, and Quick Breads sections have multiple dishes to cook before you move on to the next chapter. Looking forward to helping her learn to be more independent.
