My Project

My life skills classroom is working on daily living and grooming skills. My students get up very early and are on the bus by 6 am most days. When they arrive at school they eat breakfast and then are ready to start the day.

We would like to continue to improve their hygiene skills and make sure all the students know how to properly brush their teeth.

Many of them need to be taught skills explicitly and this will give them one more chance throughout their day to continue to work on these skills so they may be able to do them independently.
