Monday, May 4th

Dear Families, It was so great to connect with some of you last week. I encourage you to contact me at anytime. I look forward to hearing from you! Unfortunately, with the US Mail delays many of you have not received your packet of materials from the previous week. I apologize for this inconvenience. Packets for this weeks topics were mailed last Wednesday, but I fear they may be delayed as well.

Our Daily Living Skill for the week is TAKING OUT THE TRASH. Read through the attached PDF with your family and then practice taking out the trash from the kitchen, bathroom or bedroom. Remember, even if your young adult is not ready for the entire task they can still be engaged in the process. Maybe they can retrieve a new trash bag and open it, put garbage in the trash can for you, open the door while you take it to the outside can, wheel the outside can to the street or even retrieve it. Lifting heavy things or pushing heavy objects is one way to stimulate your bodies vestibular system. This sensory input can be calming and help with attention.

The recipe of the week is a grilled cheese sandwich. In our class, we have made grilled cheese several different ways including using a griddle, stovetop and a sandwich press. Everyone seems to enjoy a grilled cheese!
