​Restaurant Role Play

2/17/2017

0 Comments

 
Our third grade curriculum includes a four-part Economics and Community arc, designed to complement the Social Studies standards.  Our goal is to plant and harvest a farm full of cool season vegetables, culminating in a student-run produce sale with all profits donated to charity.  Along the way, we explore the concept of price, profits, and advertising and think together about how businesses can be good community citizens.  While we wait for our veggies to grow, we practiced our role as small business owners by operating a smoothie shop.  This week third graders tried their hand at managing employees, prepping and blending food, bussing tables and washing dishes.  It was a fun and delicious way to learn that being a business owner is a complex job.
