Good Monday Morning!  The first week of school is under our belts, and I am ready for this year to be in full swing.  The feel of fall is here, with perfect days and cool nights and it feels like SCHOOL, which is a happy thing for me! (Crazy, right??? That's why I teach MIDDLE SCHOOL!!!) 

FACS 1 will be learning about communication this week, with identifying the student's natural problem-solving style and characteristics about each style.  We will add some communication tips to this set of information to help round out the way we interact in given situations.

FACS 2 will be talking about TEEN STRESS and how it affects us EVERYDAY.  We will rate our stress level compared to other national averages on teen stress. But most importantly, we will focus on HOW we manage the stress we have, no matter how MUCH stress we have.  Here are some sites we will visit:
