Students will think about essential life skills such as budgeting, meal planning, time management, and problem-solving, ultimately fostering independence and responsibility.

Students will plan and execute a week-long independent living project focused on managing their time, finances, and daily tasks. This project will help them practice real-life skills needed for life.

Create a detailed budget for one week based on your profession. Consider expenses such as:
Groceries
Transportation (gas, bus fare, etc.)
Entertainment (movies, outings)
Other personal expenses
Assume a budget of $250 for the week. Students should allocate funds, justifying their choices in a brief write-up.
Plan and prepare (optional) 2 dinners for the week.
Include a grocery list with estimated costs, focusing on nutritious choices within the budget allocated.
Prepare one dinner for a family member or friend, documenting the process with photos and a short reflection on the experience.
Create a weekly schedule that incorporates your school, study time, part-time job (if any), meals, personal time, help around the house, help with siblings/parent, and any extracurricular activities.
Use a planner or digital calendar to ensure tasks are balanced and nothing is overlooked.
Identify a potential problem that could arise during your week (e.g., overspending, unexpected social invite requiring funds, scheduling conflicts).
Develop a plan to address this issue proactively, documenting your strategies and outcomes.
At the end of the week, write a reflective paragraph essay (5-7 sentences) discussing:
What challenges you faced and how you addressed them. Decision making? Choices?
What you learned about budgeting, cooking, and time management.
How you felt about the experience overall and how it prepared you for future independence.
