"M" Day for Homecoming Week: Mismatched Mess

Yes, the tights are plaid, too.

Grocery store employee: (As I was purchasing groceries for today's labs) Excuse me, are you a school teacher?

Me: Why yes, I am!

GSE: It must be homecoming week for you!

Me: Why yes, it is! I generally don't dress like this.

*Ha, ha, exchange pleasantries, have a nice day, etc*

Only until later did I question... What if I wasn't a teacher? :)

Some teachers use homecoming week as an excuse to wear sweatpants- I use it as an excuse to wear all of my vintage clothes.  Usually not this many outfits at once. :)

FACS Portion Sizing Lab Formative Assessment

On the day after the portion sizing lab, students review their math with a formative assessment.

A restaurant offers a 12 oz T-Bone steak.

• If there are 240 calories per serving of steak, how many calories are in this steak? 
• How many servings of meat are you consuming? 

You want to order the 5 Cheese Ziti Al Forno from Olive Garden.

• If there are 1400 calories in this 12 oz dish, how many calories are in one serving? 
• If you ate this whole dish, how many servings of pasta would you eat? 

This is a way for them to demonstrate their knowledge of pasta and meat serving sizes (4 oz, 3 oz) as well as practice the math they learned from the lab.
