Financial Literacy Food Truck Festival

Over the month of April, RHMS Grade 2 Students learned about and practiced Financial Literacy.  They finished up this engaging Math Unit with a two week long cross-curricular Food Truck Festival.  

Students designed and created their own Food Trucks, complete with an original logo and theme.  After creating their virtual menus for their trucks, students used their knowledge from their drama lessons about persuasive commercials to create and film a commercial for their food truck.  Classes had a virtual commercial viewing party and decided what trucks to shop at.  

On Food Truck Festival Day 1 students were given different shopping scenarios and challenges to follow, then asked to find their total costs and change from a budget.  On Food Truck Festival Day 2 students made simple financial decisions for their truck business using financial vocabulary. Finally students reflected on why they thought it was important for kids to learn Financial Literacy.
