My Project

As teachers, we are always looking for activities that can help our students learn and at the same time provide them opportunities to be out in our school interacting with staff and other students. We would love the opportunity for our students to organize our coffee cafe and sell coffee and treats to the teachers and staff in our school. In addition, it will provide a great opportunity to practice our money skills and counting inventory.

We want to have as many opportunities as we can to interact with the rest of our school.

The coffee, tea, coffee maker, and other supplies in this project will be a great start to getting our coffee cafe up and running.

In addition to the interaction with staff and students, we will also be learning vocational skills, as well as math and reading skills. We are also hopeful that we can cook some yummy snacks for the cart to share with our school.

Grades 9-12
