OH THE PLACES WE’LL GO!
Transportation for Life Skills Field-trips
REQUESTED BY: Katie Twichell
BENEFITS: Life Skills Grades Kindergarten - Grade 5, Turtle Creek STEAM Academy
BACKGROUND: Our students often come with limited exposure to community based activities and need additional support to engage with these activities. Students in Life Skills will be exposed to real-world experiences outside of the classroom, taking 3 field trips to various locations around the city. These trips will allow them to use social skills, build self-awareness, and have access to both academic and recreational/leisure activities. Students will take 1 field trip in the fall, one in winter and one in the spring. We will apply for additional funding opportunities for admission into the experiences, but require transportation for each of the trips. Students will engage in community-based activities that they would not otherwise be able to do. It will teach them skills that they can use in the community as well provide hands-on academic experiences to reinforce their learning. Students will participate in community based skill inventory to determine their level of experience and knowledge and will have lessons on community based expectations for each experience. Students will present information on their experiences with peers and adults. Currently the life skills program has 30 students in kindergarten through 5th grade. These numbers are expected to grow as new students are identified.
DREAM REQUESTED: Transportation Costs for three field trips
DREAM AMOUNT: $660
Note: If funding for an individual Dream surpasses the goal for that Dream, funds will be earmarked to be used towards the funding of other Dreams.
