Life Skills

 In my years of teaching, I have had many parents ask me what types of things I think could be done at home by their student.  My answer always is, " It depends!"  It depends on what your child has already been accountable for and what one child may do another may not be ready for.  With that, I always answer the same.  I try to let families know that there are lots of resources online and each individual is welcome to  look and see what they think may suit their child best.  Here are a few things you can start with that I have found.
