In this 8 week course, students will learn the skills needed before entering the "real world."  Instead of being unprepared when leaving home, students will be equipped with the skills needed to be successful when living independently.  This class will be friendly, casual, and student-centered.  Learners will be encouraged to interact with the teacher and other students, as well as participate in the guided instruction and activities.  The teacher will provide printable materials for each class, and students will be responsible for bringing the required supplies and materials for each lesson's activity.  A supply list will be provided.
