Help support Mrs. Garza's Classroom

Our small Life Skills classroom creates an extension of learning and engagement as my students move out of high school and into the real world. My students come from a small rural community with a high number of them receiving free meals which limit the resources available at home. Any opportunity I can give them to advance their education by using hands-on activities will help facilitate their learning. One way to do this is to utilize printable task cards that can be purchased and printed from Teachers pay teachers. Task cards are a simple way to teach and reteach skills to students with disabilities in a hands-on way. Printing out the cards in color and then laminating them helps increase the length of time they can be used and they can be easily cleaned and sanitized after each use. One example is learning how to pay bills. The students are given task cards that show them how much electricity, internet, rent, and gas might cost and then directs them to create a budget and learn how to write a check or pay with a debit card. They can also teach and help students use their math skills in a variety of everyday living. One set of task cards can teach several life skills in a creative and inventive way while on campus as well as continued practice at home. During this unusual time of restriction, these task cards can be an invaluable asset and addition to my students learning for years
