My Project

The items requested for this project are to give our students more life skills opportunities to further prepare them for life after high school. Our students will be able to get jobs like dishwasher and kitchen help. The will also need to learn how to use the washer and dryer, as well as a dishwasher for home skills. They will be using the washer and dryer to wash dish towels that and clothes. They will using the dishwasher to learn to load dishes that we use to cook food, so they will be equipped for independent life after high school. Our students will use the cutting boards and knives to prepare the food they cook. The students will use the to trays to put the food they prepared on the trays to make it easier for them to carry where they are going. Thanks you for all the help that you give our classroom.
