Mini Lesson
A sandwich is food between two slices of bread. You can make one yourself! First, plan what goes inside. Then build it one layer at a time.
🏠 The Life Skills Way (step by step)
- PLAN: pick your bread, a spread, and a filling.
- CLEAN START: wash your hands and use a clean plate.
- SPREAD: spread butter or hummus all the way to the edges.
- FILL: add your fillings, like cheese and crunchy lettuce, then put the top bread on.
- CUT: a grown-up helps you cut it in half.
🧽 Clean Up After
- PUT IT BACK: put the food back in the fridge.
- WIPE: wipe the counter with a damp cloth.
Use only a butter knife to spread, like in Lesson 6. A grown-up helps with any cutting. Making a sandwich for someone else? Ask a grown-up first if they have a food allergy.
