Check-In with everyone
Hello! todays theme is INDEPENDENCE! This week is all about health. Part of good health is keeping our homes clean and comfortable.
How Clean a Home Do You NEED?
We need to have our homes and other places clean so that we can stay healthy. If our environment gets too dirty, we can get sick. But just like everything else, different people are different on their needs for tidiness and cleanliness.
Tell us the level of cleanliness YOU need in your home to feel comfortable and stay healthy. Should it be
- ALWAYS spotless
- USUALLY clean but sometimes messy
- USUALLY messy then clean it about once a week or so
- MOSTLY messy and a little dirty, but not unhealthy,
- Kitchen counters and sink
- Bathroom fixtures ans surfaces
- Floors and carpets
- Bedrooms, offices, spare rooms
- Hallways, entries, stairs
- Common areas
- Garage
- Attice
- Basement
If your home ever gets SO messy and dirty it might be unhealthy it's time to ask for help cleaning up. Who would you ask? How would you explain what happened?

*Life Skills Story: Discussion and Life Application
These *Life SKills Questions will help us apply the ideas in the story to our own lives and skills. If you received the printed worksheet, use it now.
PRESENTERS: The life skills questions can be more or less relevant depending on how you choose to read the story. If you are breaking it up over the week, be sure to give a recap of the parts you've read previously to help learners maintain the thread of the narrative.
These *Discussion Questions can help us get more out of the story for our own lives and skills. If you got the printed worksheet you can use it now.
PRESENTERS: These questions seem to direct people to collect some stamps, but you can speak hypothetically instead: "If you had a big bag of stamps..."
Choose, or INVENT, discussion prompts based on how you chose to read the story together and the items that interest learners.
EXTRA: Do you know the official name for someone who collects stamps? It's a funny sounding word: PHILATALIST
