My Project

As the school year comes to a close, I am excited to share a special project that my students and I look forward to every year—a fun and engaging restaurant unit designed to practice essential math skills! This hands-on experience allows students to collaborate in creating their own restaurant menu, take orders, and practice adding money and making change. It’s a fantastic way for them to apply what they’ve learned in a real-world context. At the culmination of our unit, we invite families to join us for a delightful restaurant experience where the children take orders, serve meals, and showcase their math skills.

To make our restaurant day a success and create lasting memories, we are in need of some party supplies to dress up our lunchroom and enhance the experience for our guests.

Here’s a list of items we would greatly appreciate:

-Chef hats, aprons, and name tags to help my students look like professional waiters and waitresses

-Black construction paper for crafting their menus, along with scissors for cutting out menu items

-Guest checks to help them showcase their math skills during the event

-Placemats, napkins, plates, and cups to set the table for our guests

-A balloon blower and balloon displays to add a festive touch

-Small treats to serve families while the children take their orders

Your support would not only help us create a beautiful atmosphere, but also provide my students with a memorable, hands-on learning experience that prepares them for the real world. Thank you for taking the time to read about our classroom project. Your contribution would mean the world to my students and their families!
