Language Arts term 1

Trinity has been working on a Health and Careers project that has many Language Arts elements.  She has ha dream of owning a little cafe and serving the above items.  Writing the menu was a reward for working hard on the essay that is yet to come.  She researched the prices for some of the items and then we discussed the cost of ingredients, wages, and overhead that would come out of what she sold.

She also made a beautiful model of her restaurant while it was still summer.  Trinity has a real passion for business.

Below is Trinity's essay and the the steps she took to get there.

     In order to make my company successful I will need to know how to cook.  I will also need to treat and pay my workers well.   It is also very important to decorate my restaurant so that it looks cozy on the inside.

               I will need to learn how to make all of the sandwiches, soups, salads, and desserts for my menu. I already know how to make many of these menu items.

               Customers like to be treated kindly and they also like to know that you are honest. They also like to know that you give generous portions.

               If I do all these things I will have a better chance of being successful.

               I will need good math skills so that I can charge the correct amount to my customers and pay my workers correctly.

               I want to learn to decorate my restaurant so that my customers will feel comfortable and want to come back.

               My interests and values will help me to succeed with my restaurant.  Because I am just learning to cook and I am only in grade 6 math, I will need to build more skills. I need to take a course in college about running a business.
