Working at Firenze's Restaurant

Every Tuesday and Thursday our class goes to Firenze's Restaurant (on 10 mile, just East of Van Dyke) to work on developing work skills for use in the future.  Our class goes with a variety of other classes in the building.  While at the restaurant we try and pair our students with students from the SXI and SCI classrooms to create some integration and cross-categorical opportunities for all of the students.  At Firenze's we have a variety of jobs including:

• Filling up ice containers

• Putting rolls into individual baggies

• Filling "to-go" salad containers

• Placing tin foil on "to-go" plates

• Filling parmesan cheese containers and putting one on each table

• Placing cream and butter on every table

• Cleaning jobs: washing and drying menus, washing booths, etc.

• Rolling silverware when needed

Grocery Shopping

On Wednesday afternoons our class goes to Oakridge Market to purchase supplies for Friday's hot lunch.  Before actually going to the store students create a shopping list of what we need, and what we already have from the recipes.  While at the store students use the shopping list to choose items. Students then pay for the items at the checkout and return to school and put grocery items away in the proper location.  Shopping can be a lot of fun!

Bowling

Every Thursday our class is able to go to Bonanza Bowl and bowl one game of bowling as a class.  The students love our Thursday trip to the bowling alley, and wouldn't miss it!
