Mustang CTE

Busy 4 days this week in the kitchen and classroom working with herbs/seasoning with advanced students. Then with intro we did a basic pancake and store bought syrup to upscale pancake batter and homemade maple syrup. Lastly our guest Chef Jason Avelson performed an Apple swan, chicken fabrication, and lots of Q & A. Thursday we wrapped it up with more demo to follow up and hopefully hone in on station set up, seasonings, and handling ourselves in the kitchen. Kids did a wonderful job and I think they learned a lot.

Our Principles of Ag students had a fun day putting their poultry knowledge to the test! After a lively review game, the winning team in each class earned the chance to name one of our chicks!

Equine Science students took the lead today as we learned about the horse’s mouth and equine dentistry tools like the dental float!

Our Seniors put their communication skills into action on Monday during our Speed Networking Elevator Speech activity! Students practiced delivering their 30-second introductions... sharing who they are, their goals and what makes them stand out. We are learning that our Personal Brand starts with first impressions and how well we introduce ourselves. #SeniorSuccess #PersonalBrand #CityViewMustangs

Last week in Floral Design, our students embraced the fall season by creating fall and Halloween-themed arrangements! Stayed tuned for many more arrangements this year!

Happy Spooky Ag Fact Friday!

Equine Science got hands-on (and icing-on) today. Students had to draw and label the parts of the horse hoof using icing on a sugar cookie—knowledge first, dessert second.

Principles of Ag wrapped up our parliamentary procedure unit with a candy salad activity. Students had to correctly use motions and debate rules to build the salad—order in the classroom before candy in the bowl.

Veterinary Medicine students put their anatomy knowledge to the test today by sculpting animals from play-doh and labeling them using correct directional terminology.

Hey ghouls and goblins! 👻
Don’t forget — Trunk-or-Treat is tonight!
Come for the candy, stay for the fun!

Our Seniors traveled north today to Lawton, OK to visit and tour Cameron University. It was an awesome day! We learned about campus life, various clubs & organizations, Cameron Athletics, E-Sports, and different departments including Agriculture, Communications, Criminal Justice, Health Sciences and Music. And our Senior Success teacher, Mrs. Leviston, had a great day being back at her Alma Mater. #GoAggies 🖤💛 #HigherEducation #LifeAfterHighSchool #CityViewMustangs 🐎 #SeniorSuccess

Kids in Intro to Culinary actually shook things up in the classroom. We took heavy cream and shook it to make homemade butter, added some lemon to make butter milk to incorporate biscuits. Student got to sample what they made and apply it to biscuits and sausage gravy.

Rise and Shine! It's Ag Fact Friday!!
