Exploring future possibilities...

A typical bedroom in the first house we toured.

Checking out the laundry room.  We know what goes on here!

Admiring the big kitchen in the first home we toured.

This room had a window in the ceiling!  We loved this TV room in the second home we toured.

At PrairieWood, we spend so much time preparing for the future.  We learn to cook, so someday, when we have to, we can do it by ourselves.  We learn job skills, so that when we're done with school, we are ready to go and work hard.  This past Friday, we spent some time looking at Group homes through the Discovery Living, so that when we decide we are ready to move away from home, we have an idea of the kind of place we would like to live in.  Despite the cold and rainy afternoon, we were able to see two completely different houses and learn some fun things about living in a group home as well as some things that make us nervous.  Above are some pictures from our tour!  Our feature bloggers this week are Ahsia and Kendra.  Here is what they had to say about their weeks at PrairieWood. Ahsia: "This week at PrairieWood I learned to cook fish sticks in the oven.  I enjoyed eating lunch outside.  I was challenged by learning indoor community signs like "caution automatic door."  I would like to learn more about indoor community signs." Kendra: "This week at PrairieWood I learned about the Boston Marathon in the News2You.  I enjoyed making a puzzle.  I was challenged by washing dishes.  At PrairieWood I would like to learn more about going outside for walks."
