I would like to implement “Coffee Cart Friday’s” to allow my students to experience life-skill lessons that they can use in the future. A “life skill” is a skill that is a necessary, every day skill that a person needs to get through life. My students will be in charge of making and delivering coffee to their teachers every Friday. Also, they will learn how to budget and invest in their own business with the money made from "Coffee Cart Fridays." The life skills we will practice with our Coffee Cart include: -following a recipe -sequencing steps in an activity -fulfilling an order -appropriate social skills -sharing, peer-peer work -basic number recognition -reading and comprehension This program will not only emphasize and teach students social interaction skills, but it will also increase their skills with money, health and sanitation, and food service. I am so excited to begin this process, but I need help!
