Family and Consumer Science teacher Mrs. DeMarco highlighted the hard work required for this experience. “The students were given ten lesson topics that align with the preschool curriculum,” she said. “They then had to create lesson plans that included hands-on activities to engage the preschoolers.” Check out the full article here.
FCCLA: Members attended the Spring FCCLA Conference at Naugatuck Valley Community College in April.
