Grand Opening: Dogs on Fire and Hot Spot!

Our first graders cooked up a cross-curricular experience through their restaurant unit!
Starting with self-reflection, students designed personal logos based on adjectives that describe who they are. A visit from the Keys Communications Team introduced them to real-world graphic design skills, which they used to create logos for their classroom restaurants: Dogs on Fire and Hot Spot. Using persuasive writing and digital tools like Seesaw, students crafted commercials to promote their restaurants. And to top it off? They welcomed guests, took orders, and tallied their earnings, bringing math, reading, writing, art, and social-emotional learning to life in one dynamic, delicious unit!
