My Project

There is a new class at our school for our lowest students cognitively. The aim of this class is to teach Life Skills, with emphasis on hygiene, safety, cooking/nutrition, and cleaning.

Our hope for this project is to collect some things to give this class a good start.

The things chosen here will provide the opportunity to see and do things instead of just talking about them. Based on the needs of these students, they learn best through hands on experiences.

These students are a small portion of our overall population, and they require specific materials to meet their learning needs.
