Home projects will be a required grade for 7th and 8th graders in Family and Consumer Science classes. These projects have several purposes. The projects will teach you the importance of long range planning as well as give you an opportunity to be creative and learn new skills. I expect you to spend a minimum of 3 hours to a maximum of ????. Your grade will be based on neatness, quality of work, creativeness, amount of time spent, how well you learned a new skill, and effort put into the project.
