Working Together in the Life Skills Garden
Mr. Castelli’s Life Skills Support Class and Mr. Errett’s Materials Processing III class teamed up together to refurbish picnic benches and picnic tables and build a garden box in the C. B. West courtyard. The students in the Materials Processing class taught the students in the Life Skills class how to use a drill, saw and tape measure. All the students learned how to work together as a team to build the box and bench.
The Life Skills class uses the garden boxes to grow their own fruits, vegetables and flowers. They use the fruits and vegetables in the classroom to prepare their own lunches. Throughout this process they learn where their food comes from while developing healthy eating habits. They also grow flowers that they cut and distribute to C. B. West staff members throughout the school. The flowers brighten up C.B. West during the first semester of the school year and it gives the students in the Life Skills class a chance to develop soft employability skills.
