Middle School - Skills For Life
Skip Navigation LinksHome > Middle School > Departments > Skills For Life
The Skills for
Life curriculum is geared to help students learn personal
skills for the 21st century. Students will attain life and
workplace readiness skills while learning about the fundamentals
of babysitting, kitchen safety skills and sanitation,
preparing a healthy variety of foods and basic craft and sewing
techniques.
Through these units, students learn how to prepare
healthy snacks, simple meals and tempting desserts around
holiday settings. Students also create crafts that can be
used as gifts for special occasions or for a friend. This
course also teaches personal relationship skills when dealing
with people of all ages- children to adult. One of the
relevant components of Life Skills is a babysitting unit
that gives students the background they need in caring for young
children.
