First day of term

They have a staggered start at the school I am at.  This means that the grade 8 and 12 start today and the other grades tomorrow.  I had a lesson prep day as I have no 8's or 12's and tomorrow will be taken up with year level meetings etc.  So my first teaching day will be Thursday.  Then I have a cooking demonstration, and I have been told that the recipe doesn't work well and the replacement won't be available till tomorrow.  Now for a control freak like me this is stress.

Not knowing who my students are is also stressful.  Being new to this school I'm not sure what they have done in the past in Home Ec, if anything.  This means I am going to have to adjust learning experiences on the run.  More stress!!  I think that I am creating a lot of this stress myself, calm down!!

Some more of those 70's felt appliques.  In fact this is the all of them.  I can see these on jeans and jackets.  Kids cloths and a heap of other things.
