The students took a pre-test for the CTE Intro class. It has 40 questions on it with ten questions from each CTE rotation they will have this year. We are trying to see what knowledge students have about CTE Intro subject areas as they start the year. If they missed the pre-test, they will not need to make it up. Their end-of-year CTE Intro. test will be similiar to this test.

The classes learned the definition of the term self-concept and we discussed ways that we can raise others self-concept as well as our own. Students then discussed how advertisers come up with packaging for products and how the way we present ourselves to others is like packaging ourselves for others. Students then created a package from a lunch sack that represents themselves and uses positive labels instead of negative. These are due at the start of class on Thursday, September 1st, but they will not have time in class on Wednesday or Thursday to finish them if they didn't finish in class on Tuesday.

Welcome to Family and Consumer Sciences CTE Introduction at Fort Herriman Middle School. I hope that you have an enjoyable experience this term in class. In order for you to have a good time and learn, you must participate! This means that you need to participate in class discussions, activities and out of class activities which may include blogs, interviews, and a little bit of homework. Have a good time!

Today we went through the course description, gave out hall passes and late passes, created a seating chart, and went through where items are in the room as well as what CTE Intro. is.
