Second Grade's Spooky Restaurant
We had a cross curricular unit. For social studies, each student had to create a spooky restaurant. They had to list their resources, determine if they were human, capital, or natural. Also, they talked about goods, services, producers, consumers, scarcity, and supply/demand. Each student created a menu and advertised their restaurant. For math, each student had the opportunity to practice buying items from their friends. With this, they were using addition with regrouping to determine the total price. On our final day, we opened our classroom restaurant. We produced the food. Kindergarten visited and were great guests. We served them, found their total, and practiced being good hosts abd hostesses.
