Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

I work with a wonderful group of students who are eager to communicate and interact with their teachers and peers! I service two life skills classrooms for students with a variety of disabilities. All my students learn best through hands-on learning and real world experiences.

A coffee cart will help them gain the skills they need to gain and keep a job.

The coffee cart will give these students an opportunity to interact with customers by taking orders and delivering coffee, practice step-by-step instructions and problem-solving by making the drinks and to feel a sense of pride in their work.

The coffee cart will enable the students to practice money handling, sorting tasks, inventory, greeting and serving customers, time-management, and customer service skills. Students will also develop fine motor skills, social skills and develop a sense of partnership with fellow classmates.

Students will have the opportunity to rotate through the various jobs related to running the coffee cart as well as make coffee, tea and hot cocoa to deliver to teachers. The real-life work experience students will gain from the coffee cart will benefit them for the rest of their lives.
