My Project

Students in the life skills classroom practice daily living goals each school day. This learning starts early and becomes a great part of their daily routine. Life skills largely include good hygiene skills, self-care, monetary skills, scheduling skills, individual and team responsibilities. As a part of our classroom, I would like to instill skills that include home cleanliness. Students will practice maintaining a clean work area, cleaning up after a mess or the end of the day and sharing responsibilities with classmates. With the items provided through Donors Choose, we will be able to accomplish this goal.
