Today, I had a little time to waste while waiting for winter tires to be put on my truck. I really didn't need much for groceries, but thought this would be a good time to try out an idea that I had read about recently. I'm not 100% sure, but I think I might have read about this idea on Geraldine's blog The Down Syndrome Action Plan. Today was K's first, mostly independent shopping trip. It was a great way to incorporate reading into an activity which required thinking, memory & learning new skills.
I didn't think of this ahead of time, so I quickly scribbled down
a few items on a scrap piece of paper. Here is her list:
....and off she goes! Sorry for the terrible picture. Next time,
I'll have to remember to take more than one. I think the little carts are adorable!
Some of the items were a difficult for K to reach, so I did help a little. Next time, I'll be prepared with a list for her ahead of time that included things that are easier for her to reach, but all in all, it was a great first experience.
