Welcome to Life Skills. In this class we continue to concentrate on what it takes to be a good person. We will expand discussions in several topics this semester. Our topics will range from manners and respect to social media to kindness and other relevant discussions. We will have labs but they need to be earned with good behavior and listening skills. We will have study hall and game days and mindful minutes.
It is the aim of FACS courses that all students increase their ability to act responsibly and productively, work cooperatively, apply concepts of balancing school/work and family, create solutions to critical and emergent issues, utilize technology effectively in personal and family settings, and maintain healthy lifestyles. FACS education provides the bridge needed by all students to deal with life and career issues. From MDE website
