My Project

This project will help provide a comfortable learning space for every student in my classroom.

I teach a life skills-based program where I teach basic life skills to special needs students.

The skills that I provide to the students in my classroom are things that they will need to be successful after they leave high school.

From teaching basic cooking skills, money skills, learning to read clocks, and learning about community resources.

Our goal is that every student will leave our classroom with the ability to live on their own at some point in their life.

This project will provide some of the supplies needed to ensure that we are meeting these needs.
