The students in Room 18 learned about running a food truck business from one of NWS parents, Khalid, and shared experiences. Throughout the week, the children collaborated in teams in designing their logos, menus, food items, advertising posters and of course the food trucks. The open-ended, recycling materials were given to ignite creativity. Each truck was unique. We've learned about money and basic financial literacy. We found that we need to practice using money more (homework for the holidays ). It was quite a buzz when businesses were given float money and the shoppers got $10 each to spend. The atmosphere was electric and the businesses were encouraged to give discounts. Their teacher was a sales skills and techniques trainer in the past, so they've learned from a professional how to maximize their business potential. Last Friday Pizza Haven Food Truck came to NWS to share their tasty delights with the students. We all loved this experience.
