My students are at the age where their peers have household chores like doing dishes, taking out the garbage, folding laundry, and/or putting away the groceries. My students lack the skills needed to complete these tasks, which are also needed for them to be independent as an adult. To learn these life skills, they need to begin early and practice often with modeling and support and a play living area will provide the modeling, practice, and support in the safety of a classroom through everyday play. They have been able to practice cooking and cleaning dishes with their sink and stove set during our educational center time, but I would like to begin to teach them how to sort groceries into refrigerated and non-refrigerated as well as how to put them away. I also want to teach them sorting clothing into white and colored. Doing this in a play living area will provide them with hands-on lessons in a simulated real-life setting.
