Your Guide to the Four H's
Author: Mackenzie Pogue
Planning Unit: Muhlenberg County CES
Major Program: Family and Consumer Science
Plan of Work: Basic Life Skills
Outcome: Initial Outcome
Youth actively participated in Your Guide to the Four H’s learning essential life skills to aid in their personal growth. Lessons included grilling on a griddle, gas, and charcoal grills. Food and knife safety. Basic home budgeting and check writing. Understanding the difference between needs versus wants. The importance of staying physically fit, eating a balanced diet, and personal hygiene habits. The day concluded with home maintenance skills youth can complete to help their families.
Youth gained confidence using a grill to prepare foods. They were taught how to safely use a knife to cut vegetables, including the basic cuts: slice crosswise and lengthwise, chop, dice, mince and julienne. When youth are provided the opportunity to be an aid in the kitchen, they gain mastery in such skills.
