Weekly Menu Map

Students will use picture cards to choose foods and build a simple weekly menu, practicing sorting, matching, and sharing their choices with the group.

This visual and hands-on lesson builds daily living skills—food recognition, categorizing, and decision-making—using accessible supports for K–2 level learners in a high school special ed setting.
