Last year, I was lucky enough to win a grant to build a classroom grocery store. We were able to purchase shelves, as well as some play food , registers and money. With this store, students are able to practice critical life skills to help them become independent adults. Students can learn how to do many tasks including but not limited to: shopping on a budget, meal planning and shopping for appropriate supplies, counting money, dollar up shopping, and social skills. Unfortunately, some of our fake money has torn, and some of our play food needs to be replaced. Furthermore, by adding new supplies like real shopping baskets, it would help create a more life-like scenario. With this classroom store, students also get cashiering practice which can help them when looking for future employment. They are given an opportunity to practice essential people skills like speaking to customers, and eye contact, as well as math skills as they are adding up items for a total price. Having an apron can add to the experience as they may feel like it is part of a real uniform.
