I currently teach in an inner-city comprehensive high school with magnet programs included. My Life Skills Students (LSS) participate in courses with the general education curriculum as well as in my Special Education classroom. My students' needs vary from needing one-on-one assistance in completing tasks to independence for traveling within the school building alone.
As a Life Skills Support classroom, we continually work on building up student
resumes in preparation for the completion of job applications. The students need a reliable printer and ink to be housed in the Life Skills Support classroom in order to print out their resumes to attach to job applications.
My LSS students have enjoyed their past donorschoose.org project materials. They use their microwave oven, chocolate fountain, panini press sandwich maker, ice cream maker, storage cabinet, aprons, laundry cart with supplies, and brooms/dust pans. We also received our washer and dryer, thanks to Ripple! The students love donorschoose.org and they couldn't wait to choose their next project.
My Project
This printer/copier and ink will help our Life Skills Students prepare for their futures in the creation of their resumes. Once the resumes are written we will be able to print out their resumes to include with job applications. This is a life-lesson for our students with exceptionalities. We look forward to in-person (or) hybrid learning to resume and once students return we would like to have the necessary materials for the students to have available to them. This is a surprise project for the students so let’s make this happen.
