Life Skills
class
consists of
skills that
are taught
to the
students
about living
on their
own. The
students
bake and
sell cookies
as well as
count the
money they
receive. The
class also
sells
gourmet
coffee and
we do car
detailing.
Each
activity we
do helps the
students
have a feel
for the type
of job they
can apply
for after
leaving high
school. All
the money
goes back to
the Life
Skills
class. The
money the
class raises
is used for
community
outings,
food for
cooking,
lessons and
for our
annual
Thanksgiving
dinner. We
cook the
dinner for
their
family, who
they invite.
My class
gives so
much to
themselves
to others
they never
complain and
they always
come to
class with a
smile. They
are very
hard workers
and work
well as a
team. The
goal that I
have is to
prepare my
students for
life after
school. I
want to
prepare them
for the job
life, paying
bills,
cleaning
their house,
and
activities
they will
partake in
when they
leave high
school. The
students are
a joy and
everyday is
a wonderful,
adventurous
journey.
