Home Economics Unit 3 Food Shopping and Kitchen Organization

The Sunrise Home Ec course (Grade 9 or above) introduces your high school girls to the skills and knowledge that godly wives, mothers, and homemakers need. Many hands-on learning opportunities provide practice in the skills being taught. The first four LightUnits cover food preparation—from basic nutritional information and smart shopping techniques to good kitchen arrangement and putting the food on the table. The next three LightUnits teach sewing—from the basics of using the sewing machine to the details of actually sewing clothing. LightUnit 8 discusses the godly home—its purpose, decorating it, and keeping it clean and clutter-free. LightUnit 9 describes the various stages of child growth—physically, mentally, and spiritually—from birth to the junior years. LightUnit 10 turns the focus to the student herself, giving her guidance in becoming a godly woman—understanding herself, God’s plan for her body, her relationship with God, friends and friendships, modesty, singlehood, and Christian courtship.
