Mr. Robert from Pleasant Grove, UT is requesting materials related to food, clothing & hygiene through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Independent Living Skills

Help me give my students tools to learn how to prepare food, clean up, and do their laundry. Using an air fryer allows smaller portions and a countertop mixer reduces risk of injury and spills.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Robert's classroom raised $996

My Students

My students' grade levels range from 9th-12th grade. They have varying disabilities that affect their mental, social, and cognitive development. We strive to teach independent living skills such as preparing and cooking simple meals. They are also learning the benefits of working together, asking for help, and following directions.

With COVID-19 affecting their schooling, it is important that we teach them independent living skills before they are no longer allowed in the school system.

My Project

The tools requested, mixer, air fryer, blender, etc. are directed to help each student learn how to live more independently. Learning to prepare their own food, wash dishes, and do laundry are life long skills that will allow my students to contribute to their future households - whether in a group home, living with family, or in their own home.

Practicing and developing interpersonal communication by working together can help their social-development and build teamworking skills that can be used in the home or workplace.

Over the past two years we've seen how education and schooling are greatly changed by the effects of COVID-19. The skills we want these students to learn will always be a necessity for them. It is critical our students learn them in a place that is safe, supportive, and where they are encouraged to grow.
