001Hello. As we prepare for the winter break, I'm here at Washington Liberty with our 10th 11th grade students who are building gingerbread houses as they talk about ways that they will be celebrating uh traditions with their families. We're also visiting a functional life skills class today. >> One of the tradition that is done in the United States is building uh the gingerbread houses. So we decided that would be a great activity for the kids to build and have that experience. >> This is the door the the decoration and uh this is chimney with ice. It [music] means um being with the family, sharing with students about the different holidays and myself, learning from other students what holidays they celebrate that I don't celebrate. So, this is one of our class job sites and we sell
002to the staff here at WL. Um, we have people who have standing orders. So, the kids take out carts, they do deliveries. >> General's job is like we sell pastries and coffee, tea, hot chocolate for our guests, >> drinking cupcakes. >> And there are the other area, the muffin and frosting. >> My job is delivering >> [music] >> The life skills program is really focused on making [music] our students as um ready for life after school as possible. And so it's good for us to [music] practice kitchen safety and money management and customer service. All things that they're going to [music] need after high school. Well, the holidays means for me like to spend time with family and watch movies and then open gifts [music] and stuff like that and decorate the house. >> Going
