My Project

Help me allow my students to learn vocational skills by creating a snack cart delivery system. I would like for my students to be able to deliver snacks and drinks to other teachers and staff to give them a chance to build their social, communication, and vocational life skills. The students will also learn how to take inventory, restock items on the cart, and give proper change.

This project will give my students a chance to practice money skills and learn valuable vocational skills to use in the future.

Since I teach in a self-contained classroom, this will also allow my students to practice social skills.
