My classroom consists of 15 high school students who are challenged by life because of their low academic /physical ability levels, but who face the challenge without hesitation!
I teach Special Education and my students all have severe disabilities. However, all of them also want to have choices in life and be as independent as they possibly can! They have the desire to learn the life skills, but lack of materials makes teaching them to cook difficult! We have a kitchen available for use but no money to buy pans to cook in or containers for storage after food is prepared. Its impossible to learn to cook without the right "tools". Teaching this student population to cook, budget for groceries and shop for supplies, gives them the skills they need to live independently or in a group situation so they will not have to constantly rely on others or society in general for their care and support! Students who learn life skills become empowered and more self determined. Providing for this seemingly small amount of supplies, will have a ripple effect on individuals, families, and communities at large! My students need cookware, a popcorn popper and food storage/prep items.
The cost of this proposal is $254, which includes shipping for any materials requested and fulfillment Live Updates
