This project is for the 2021-2022 school year. Our classroom will have a mobile coffee cart every Friday. Each month, the students will decide on a local charity to donate the coffee cup money to. The students will start by making sure they have enough change in their money box to start off their sales. Each student will be assigned a "job" and each student will wear an apron as to not ruin their clothes. One student will make the coffee in the coffee maker. Another student will make sure we have all of our materials on the coffee cart, ready to go! The materials will include creamer, sweetener, flavors and disposable cups. Students will then sell the coffee to staff members in our building and distribute the coffee to staff, and then count the money each week. At the end of each month, they will be able to give the money earned to the charity that was chosen. This project will help students work on life skills, such as money, leadership, communication, socialization, respect, and the list goes on!
