Hello. My name is Wendy Falvey. I am the Family and Consumer Science Teacher for the High School and Middle School in Potsdam NY. My intent is to use this blog to enhance the communication between myself, my students and their parents.

Week 1
Hello everyone. I wanted to update you on week one for the AAK Home & Careers, and Careers classes. I am also going to include the Potsdam H.S. Textiles class on this blog.
This week went well. I am enjoying meeting all of my new students. This week my personal challenge will be to learn all of the students names. They have all been pretty understanding when I call them the wrong name! The AAK students have been very helpful when I get confused about the middle school schedule and procedures.
Home and Careers classes are working on parenting skills right now and have read chapter 9 in their textbook. Reading chapter 10 will be the assignment for this coming week.
Careers is working on communication skills, verbal and nonverbal. They have read chapter 4 in their textbook and will be assigned chapter 5 this coming week.
Textiles class has completed chapters 1&2 and been tested on it. They will be taking notes on chapters 3&4 this coming week. We should be sewing in about 4 weeks which means the students will need to choose their projects and bring in a check to cover the costs in 3 weeks. The checks should be made out to Potsdam Central School.
