Goal

My main goal is for students with special needs to learn how to cook meals for themselves successfully and independently. I want to give my students a chance, like any other student, to learn how to properly cook a meal. I also want my students to have the opportunity to learn how to successfully make a grocery list, find items they need at the grocery store and pay for items at the grocery store. 

What will be done with my students

My students will pick out their food items of their meal choice from Publix and successfully cook a meal (s). Cooking meals throughout the school year is an ongoing, weekly activity. Each week the students will have to decide on their meal of choice. My students will cook a variety of meals. For example, one week they can cook their breakfast of choice and another week lunch, dinner, and so forth. Students will work individually and as a team to prepare and cook a meal.
Once a semester we will be going to a restaurant of choice in order for my students to have the opportunity to practice paying for meals.
