My favorite project is the Shark Tank Cookie Project. The reason this is my favorite project is because I learned many skills from this project. Some skills I learned were baking, decorating, and how to manage a business. This project was also very fun to do. I got to work with my teammates and be creative. I may use the skills that I learned in the future.

My favorite project was the flavor flip project because it was a fun, exciting, and taught me to work with a partner to finish it with both approvals on the other ends. We also got taught on the nutrition values of the item that we chose and how to balance the fats out. We had cooperation and both to pitch in and to enjoy the experience of changing something. we could use this nutrition values to balance diets and figure out which can be fattening and appropriate to eat. We can show some color for a start of a project

I think the charcuterie board was the thing that I learned from. I learned to correctly make a charcuterie board. I actually used it to make one. I also learned some things about sewing from the journals. When I ripped a shirt playing football I sewed it back together using what I learned. Also, I learned more about nutrition from the lessons on how a human should eat to be healthy.

My favorite project was the wild horse project. The first reason this is one of 2 of my favorite projects is it was very useful and entreating and in the future helped me with future problems I had. Another reason I liked it was because it gave me time relax and time to talk to my friends but on the other hand the style my birthday project was another favorite of mine. The first reason is that it let me get to know more about my friends and see what they like. The second reason is it help me develop planning skills and be creative and have fun while planning.

My favorite project of the year for Home EC was the Mardi Gra Kings Cake. In my opinion it was the greatest, most organized, and best tasting project the classes of Home EC did. Everything was included in this project. History, culture, planning, and different cooking skills. It was enjoyable to be in a lively group making a cinnamon filling and then designing our cake. The project was fast and creative, plus the end result was delicious. This project was amazing.

Something I really enjoyed doing and learning in this class was learning how to perfect my culinary skills. It's truly a very necessary and useful learning experience. I also liked learning how to plan my meals and how to choose the right food when shopping. I also liked learning about precautions when cooking. It's always good to be sure of how you'll prepare your dishes and what to do to avoid any mistakes during the process.

I loved the Wild Horse and the Shark tank projects the most because both of them taught me a lot of skills, in the Wild horse project I learned about sewing, picking felts, using sheers(fabric scissors), and a lot more, in the Shark tank project I learned about patience, helping each other, and a lot more, I would say that this class is a very helpful class for a lot of kids.

My favorite project by far has to be the shark tank project. It taught me the basics of entrepreneurship and taught me important business tools for the future. I like how this project gave us full control we wanted to do and didn't give u a strict rubric like projects from other classes. This project let us socialize a lot and let me and other people make new friends. This project without a doubt has to be the best project of the year.

This year in Home Economics I learned many things that will be very useful to me in the future. In the beginning of the year we learned how to sew and towards the end we learned how to cook. Those things are very helpful and important to me. We learned about how to eat healthier and better foods then the ones usually eat everyday which is important for our health. But we also learned thing like communication and teamwork in the shark tank project which are skills that are very important for anything in life. Some of my favorite projects were the flavor flip, pizza, and the horse project. These projects were so fun to make. This class helped me in so many ways and I will definitely use the skills I've learned in the future!

Something I would like my parents to know about is all the fun projects we have done this year. Especially the Mardi Gras cake project! I love how it turned out, and how we combined a holiday with cooking. I also really liked The Wild Horse Project because it taught me a lot of stuff that I didn't know about sewing. These two projects (especially the Wild Horse Project) will help me out later in life because every time you do something new, you learn something knew. This class has been super fun and I know that I've learned a lot.

My favorite project has to be the "I Made a Pizza" Project. We started with tortillas, and we added extra virgin olive oil and then we put it on the stovetop. It was extremely fun watching it bubble up and having a nice crisp look for the crust of the pizza. Then we added tomato sauce and herbs and finally we put it in the oven to cook. When it came out it was a delicious cheesy pizza that perfectly blended the cheese, sauce, and herbs while having a homemade taste. Overall, the project is really beneficial as the project gave me great cooking skills and the feeling of making something amazing.

My favorite project of 2024-2025 schoolyear was the pizza project we did. This project taught me how pizza can be made with dough or not. This also taught me what it is like to make the pizza with cooking the tortilla, adding the sauce and cheese, and lastly what it is like to put the pizza in the oven. My other favorite project was the Shark tank. I really liked this project cause it taught me not just how to work in a group but also what it is like to be part of a group.

I think that the Wild Horse project gave me some valuable skills such as basic sewing safety and tips. Overall though I would choose the Shark Tank project as the most valuable. I think that the Shark Tank project was the best for my learning because it taught me teamwork as well as using my time correctly. Although the most enjoyable for me is the King Cake because it was fun to do hands on cooking and eating it was also a nice touch. Finally the pizza was also a fun assignment for mostly the same reasons as the King Cake assignment.

One thing I want my parents to know about this class that I learned is that I learned how to sew, cook, and work in a cooperative group. The Wild Horse project taught me so many valuable skills. If I ever need to fix a thread in my shirt, sew on a button, or do a blanket stitch, my knowledge from this project will be there to help. The construction of the pizza's was so creative and fun! Making them on tortillas was smart and taught me that there are always other options when it comes to ingredients. Lastly, the Shark Tank was incredibly challenging, yet entertaining. I learned that in a functional team, everyone has a role, and communication is one of the most crucial things to have.

I had learned this year in Home Economics so many things but for me the most important ones are learning how to sew by doing the Wild Horse project. I think learning how to sew is very important because I will definitely use it later in life. Another example of something that I had learned in Home Economics is partnership meaning learning how to work with others to create something which in my opinion is very important. My last thing that I learned in Home Economics that matters is being organized by turning your work on time doing things neatly and good I learned this throughout my journal. Home Economics taught a lot of stuff and I'm thankful for every single one because even though sometimes its hard I know I will use it someday.

Before I join this class, I was afraid of sharing things out and sharing my idea to another person. This year, in Home Ec. I had learn how to work together, cook, and also share my project or ideas to other peoples. Not only this class was fun, but it had teach me a lot of life skills. I enjoyed making PIZZA because I had a lot fun making pizza and it was good. I am grateful that Ms. Lawford was pay all the things that we need to make the pizza. I learned how to cook and make food from that project. I learn how to eat healthy and stay healthy. I always thought eating healthy means eating salad. But after taking this class, I learned that eating healthy doesn't always mean eating salad and vegetables. It means to eat fruit, vegetables, grains, and meat. I also learn that eating healthy is important to keep your body energic. Thank you Ms. Lawford!

What I would like my parents to know is, this class has helped me do a lot of things my teacher showed and helped the class how to cook, sew, and the table place setting for us to eat politely and properly, those were very fun. The best project we did in my opinion was the cookie project. The cookie project taught us how to plan our own company which can may help someone's future. I really enjoyed this class and the projects, and I would recommend for someone trying to find good electives for next year. The Home Economics class taught me more creative with things like how would we design the project? Or how would we plan this? I really appreciate that our teacher took the time to help us even through our mistakes. I really liked how our teacher would answer our questions without a problem and show us exactly where to go afterwards. I really enjoy this class the projects and activities are super fun and easy!

Things I want my parents to know about this class is that it taught me to be responsible and work together as a team. For example, the Shark Tank cookie challenge was really fun and everyone worked together accordingly. I also learned to take care of my body and to stay healthy when we learned about the different food groups I stared add all the food groups in all my meals. But my favorite assignment was the Wild Horse Project because it was my first time sewing and I was surprised how I did.

This class has taught me so much and I wish others can say the same. I will miss everything about this class. Ms. Lawford has taught me so many valuable lessons. Thank you!

This year in Home Economics was so fun! We learned about food groups, nutritional value, fashion, budgeting, and place settings. My top 3 projects of this year were the Wild Horse, Shark Tank Cookie Campain, and the Apron project. I loved and adored the Wild horse because we got to create fun stories and background of our horses along with classmates and partner. The Shark Tank Cookie Campain was so fun, collaborating with friends and competing to be the best really brought the competitive spirit in all of us. And the Apron Project was designed for us; every apron showed a personality or person itself! Learning about nutrition and fashion really made me want to branch out and learn more! The journals were a lot of work, but so fun and creative! I loved all the colorful and creative things we had in store this year, Thank you Mrs. Lawford!!- Sofia C. Period 7

I worked with one of my best friends Carolina and I really enjoyed recording our horses back story , creating the backstory, and planning it out in general.

Some things I learned from this elective are sewing, communicating with other people, and cooking! I learned sewing through this horse project I did with my friend, where we had to make this horse plushie and give it a backstory. I named it after the front man of one of my favorite bands, and it was really fun! Then, I did this other group project where me and my partners planned on making this brand for selling cookies and put it into a PowerPoint. I was the theme designer and we based the theme off of angels. Then finally, I made a Mardi Gras themed cake in class using cinnamon-roll dough and different colored sprinkles. My most favorite project out of all of these three were the horse project, as it brought out my creativity and gave me the chance to practice sewing. Now, I can make DIY accessories and items, so thank you Mrs. Lawford!

In Home Economics this year learned to be creative and think in out of the box ways. For example, when we did the pizza demonstration we used a tortilla instead of normal pizza dough. This showed my peers and I that we can find other ways to make and create things. In addition, we learned good communication and business skills through the Shark Tank cookie project. I learned how to be more verbal and professional because of this. Also, we learned good health habits. Not only eating healthy but making it delicious. And finally, the Wild Horse project, I learned valuable sewing skills that I can use for years to come. This year in Home Economics has taught me valuable life skills and leadership.

Although in home economics this year we did many projects that I enjoyed, my favorite/best project was the Wild Horse project. I think it really was able to project my partner and I's creativity, while still providing a great experience for learning how to sew and how to design the horse's story. I loved learning about the different ways to sew, the colors that looked good together, and the importance of consistency when sewing. Also, drawing out and writing about my horse's story was a really fun thing to do with my partner/friend. I had a lot of fun coming up with an interesting, in-depth character for the story, and in the end I was proud. Overall, this class was an awesome experience and something I wish to remember forever.

One thing I want my parents to know about this class is how I was a Project Manager for a cookie project. The goal of this project was to make a cookie business that we would compete to be presented (and sold) to the school. I learned that a project manager works very hard when they are instructing their team. They have to be very understanding toward their teams because that's the only team they have. This class really taught me a lot about leadership and being the "Head Honcho" of the group. Thank you Mrs. Lawford for putting me through the toughness of the class.

In home economics, I have learned how to use stuff from the items we have. For example we made pizza but instead of pizza dough we made it with tortilla. It was very yummy and worked just as well as normal dough. I also liked the flavor flip project because you really get to see the ingredients that they use in your food item, and how you can make it healthier, yet still have the same taste. It really shows how we can improvise and that's one of the things I have learned this year.

This year in Home Ec I learned how to sew, cook, and how to "business". One of my favorite sewing projects was the Wild Horse project where I learned how to sew 2 pieces of fabric together, how to apply things like buttons and other pieces of fabric, and different ways to sew. Another one of my favorite projects this year was making the pizza. I learned how correctly use an oven and bake from scratch. I learned in the Shark Tank Cookie project to create new things and work together as a team to get things done. Another thing I learned was how manage and control what I eat. I learned that I had to consistently eat foods like vegetables, fruits, proteins and grains to stay healthy. Overall, this year in Home Ec I've enjoyed all the projects we've done and learned from them. I will keep using the new skills that I have learned to achieve my goals.

Before I had joined this class thought Home Ec would just be an easy elective where I'd get to eat, but as soon as I joined the class it became so much more. This class introduced me to so many of my friends like Sophia, Lilah, Amber, Sofia, and Mira, and it taught me so many new life skills. For example, the Wild Horse project paired me with my friend Sofia. As someone who prefers working alone, learning to sew and work with someone on this project was a huge step for me. It really taught me how to use teamwork and work with it. Then came the Shark Tank project, where I was paired with some kids I did not know and some friends. But as the project had gone on, I learned new things about them and found I was meeting and making friends with even more people in the class. We definitely had our ups and downs, but we made it work in the end. Looking back, I'm really grateful for the class. and although I may have said some things without it I wouldn't have met many of my friends

Some things I want my parents to know is that we learned how to work as a team, using our time wisely, and having fun in class in general. We were taught how to sew and we got to make our own horse and designs, which I enjoyed doing the most. We also did a project on baking traditional cakes and our group was able to learn how to be responsible for our roles. I think it was a fun experience to work as groups and using our own skills and talents on our projects. This class taught me life hacks and skills that I will be using in the future and I'm really grateful for that.

In Home Ec, I learned many useful and fun things that I really enjoyed. One of the best parts was making a king cake, which taught me how to follow a recipe and work with dough. We also played bingo, which was a fun way to learn about different household items and activities. Our Shark Tank project was exciting because we had to come up with a new product and present it to the class, which helped me improve my teamwork and presentation skills. I’m proud to say that my class has the winning team in the Shark Tank competition! Another thing I enjoyed was planning birthday parties using PowerPoint, which helped me get creative and practice my computer skills. Overall, I learned how to be more organized, work with others, and think creatively. Home Ec was a great class that taught many new things.

One of my favorite projects was the wild horse project because I got to work with one of my really good friends Miranda and we got to learn how to sew different patters, learn about a special types of scissors. I learned that teamwork is the dreamwork because if we did not communicate we would have been so lost. I learned so much from this project. My favorite part was when we got to record our stories because we got to share how special our horse is s everyone. Overall this project was so much fun. I got to create memories that will last a lifetime. The hands-on experiences—whether it was sewing or recording made it even better.

In this class I learned how to sew and cook. I also learned how to work in a team and how to collaborate with others. My favorite project was the apron project, because we got to be creative and it was really fun! We got to sketch out our ideas first and then jump in and paint, color, and decorate our aprons. I really liked the freedom to make whatever you wanted, because it really was a creative way to express yourself and was a fun way to introduce yourself and your personality to the class. My name is Cecilia S. and I'm in 6th period.

My favorite things that I learned in Home Economics was sewing and cooking. When we cooked, we decorated cookies for Christmas, and the pizza tortilla was not only delicious, but also very fun to make. Out of all I have to choose the kings cake that we made with these delicious cinnamon rolls, it was my favorite because it was the most delicious thing I ever had. My second favorite thing that I did in Home economics was sewing, that includes the Wild Horse project in which me and my friend participated together to create the marvelous horse. As you can see, we had some very fun things to do in Home Economics.

A couple of things that I want my parents to know that I learned in my home economics class is cooking, sewing, leadership, and business skills. I feel like I will use these skills in the future, and I had fun this year in class. I really enjoyed when we cooked the Mardi gras cakes and pizza, and I also learned a lot about cooking from these lessons. Also, another activity that I liked doing this year was making the aprons, because you had a lot of freedom with the project. With the aprons, you could do whatever you wanted and the whole project was well planned because we sketched it out and had lots of time to create it. Another skill I want to let my parents know about is how I think I got better at presenting from this class. Since we have to do lots of oral presentations, I got lots of practice. All in all, I had a lot of fun in this class and I learned a lot of valuable life lessons and necessary skills

This year, I learned about teamwork, communication, and hard work. I learned this from the multiple projects that we did this year. My favorite project this year was the Horse project. I love this project because it thought me how to sew, which I have been wanting to learn for a long time. I learned how to do a blanket stich and how to make a horse head out of felt and stuffing. This project was so much fun to make, I partnered up with my best friend, Martina, and both made a funny backstory for our horse. Our horse's backstory was really fun to make and record it was funny and entertaining. Overall, this was definitely one of the best projects this year.

Some things I want my parents to know about the things I've done in this class are the creative things. Some things that are always going to stick with me are how we learned to sew and cook. These things are always going to be important to me because it helps me learn and they are important for the future. cooking was by far my favorite thing about this class and the people. and now the saddest part, the end I will miss all the great memories in this class and all the advice I got

one thing I wanted my parents to know about this is that this class is always having fun and learning about respect, sewing, cooking, and hand writing. this class taught us about our plate and where the plate and utensils should look\be like. something we did was sewing it teached me and all my friends because we didn't know how to. we learned about our manners at the table and the 5 groups and how they effect your body. something that really effect others was how we did a cookie project were we have a group and sell cookies that's when u realize everybody has different tastes and perspective's. there was times we would have so much fun cooking!

overall ms.lawford teaches and makes it fun!

This year in home economics I have learned so much. I think sewing is the most important for me. I have used the sewing that Ms. Lawford taught us in a couple of my clothes. Making the Marti Grah cake was super fun because we got to make it however, we wanted it. This year I also learned how to design things like my apron which was a blast to decorate. Another important thing I learned was how to keep a balanced meal and to stay healthy. This year home economics has taught me so much and I am looking forward to using these lessons in the future.

This year I learned a lot of stuff; I learned how to sew from the wild horse project. I learned teamwork from the shark tank with the cookies. I learned about dining etiquette which helps me with being polite when I'm eating. I learned about food safety, and I learned what food is good and bad for you. The most important thing that I learned though is to try your hardest no matter what for example the first time in the sewing project I thought I was going to fail because I never did it before but then I learned and got a good grade. Another example is with the cookie project I thought that it will be too hard, and our team won't do good, but we tried are hardest, we didn't win but that doesn't matter we learned, and we worked hard that's what matters.

This year I was able to learn how to make a pizza out of a tortilla! This helped me learn that making a pizza doesn't always require a dough. A plus to this is that everyone can make their own personal pizza without worrying about shaping or sharing it with anyone! It was a really fun experience that also tasted good. This year I was also able to make a Mardi Gras King cake, and it was super fun and tasty. In my opinion, the best projects this year were the cooking ones.

I want my parents to know that I learned a lot about cooking and sewing in Home EC. I really enjoyed sewing my wild horse with my friend Issa. My favorite cooking project that we did was the Mardi Gras kings cake. I really liked learning more about the holiday and making the cake out of cinnamon rolls. My favorite project that we made was the breakfast plan. I think it was very interesting to learn about food groups and how to plan a meal.

By doing the Wild Horse project, I learned how to hand-sew, which is an important skill. I have learned how to bake efficiently with the King Cake project too. I learned more about food groups and nutrition, which will help me to become healthier. I also learned how to work in a team better when we did the Shark Tank Cookie Project. This project also helped me learn more about entrepreneurship.

Things I would like my parents to know about this class is that it taught me how to communicate and work with other people through the cookie project. I also learnt about how there a different food groups and the benefits each one has. This knowledge taught me how to be healthier and how to give my body the nutrition it needs. Another thing I learn relating to food was how to make an easy and quick pizza at home. One last thing I learnt was how to sew without a sewing machine through the horse project. I also learnt about sewing and the different textures, patterns, and sewing techniques through creating my journal. This class has taught me a lot and has been a wonderful and happy experience, thank you.

I saw Ryan's work and just wanted to say how proud I am!

Ryan put a lot of thought into his apron design and I really like how it turned out.

He learned a lot about nutrition, and as a result, has been making healthy choices.

I was impressed at how he learned how to sew and the horse pillow he completed. It turned out great!

Finally, I was proud of Ryan's Dream Birthday Party Project. I can tell he put a lot of effort into the project.  He was able to incorporate skills he learned in his Career Tech class with his PowerPoint presentation.  He was also very comfortable with giving his presentation, thanks in part to his Public Speaking class.  The details he put into his plan were impressive. It was awesome to see everything come together towards the end of the school year with this project. He did a great job!

Thank you Ms. Lawford! You did an amazing job and I know the skills Ryan learned in your class will have a lasting impact.

We have been following Gabriel's progress regarding his work in your class and just wanted to express how proud we are of how far he has come.

Although arts and crafts are not his strong suite, he showed constant improvement as the months progressed and interest in doing the best that he could on each assignment.

We were particularly impressed with one of his final deliverables within his class journal, where he needed to display a costume that was representative of his culture, when he showed us the folkloric dress that he selected and drew by hand! This was not something he would have even attempted before your class.

We know he would have wanted to spend more time doing cooking assignments, as that was his expectation at the beginning of the year, but we believe he came to realize that the other skills from the class acquired throughout the year were just as useful and rewarding.

Now Gabriel doesn't ask for a snack... he asks for "Snack Boards" and corrects us if it is not presented properly ;-).

We are very proud of Gabriel and want to recognize all his achievements in Home Economics this year!

Thanks!
