The Snack Cart project aims to help my students learn new vocational skills that includes selling, restocking and purchasing snacks and beverages around the school. This will not only help provide them with new vocational skills that they can use in their future, but also provide them with new social skills to better their social emotional learning.
I am an Occupational Therapist for a special needs high school and many of my students love learning and being at school, but they benefit from extra support like projects like this. My students learn best by doing so I believe this can be a great opportunity for them to grow in their school environment and learn from each other.
Having a mobile cart where my students can go from class to class to sell the snack items requested will help them reach more people to gain more learning experiences in the building. We can also work on their motor planning as they are manipulating that cart. Restocking the cart is also a core skill we want our students to learn as many of them have sorting and matching goals on their IEPs. We also requested storage bins as we believe those will be helpful in organizing the items we’re selling and will help store what does not fit on the cart. Of course, learning how to count money to give back change and purchase items is another important skill the snack cart aims to address.
