TWLS Students Learn Functional Life Skills

The students at TWLS have been learning, practicing, and perfecting some very important functional life skills that will help them become successful adults.  Recently, students have been learning how to complete everyday chores that they will require to live independently.  Right now, the chores we are learning about and practicing include: Raking and bagging leaves, shoveling snow, brushing off/ scraping car windows, taking out the garbage, and relining the garbage can.  The lessons (and chores) change throughout the year as the functional life skill units change.  In addition to what they learn in school, students are required to practice at least twice each week at home and track their progress.  Imagine that…chores as homework!
