"Restaurant" Integrated Unit Lesson Plans
Restaurant Integrated Unit- Darcie Pike-Wilkie
This
Restaurant Integrated unit was designed as an inquiry based unit that could
last up to 20 days and incorporate many areas of the curriculum, with a focus
on Early Literacy, Early Numeracy, Technology, and Creative Development. This
particular unit took place during November and December 2012.
Reason for choosing to develop this
new unit: Many of the children in my class choose to
visit the dramatic play area each day to play with the kitchen set and play
food. They play restaurant/store/house with each other. I see them taking each
other’s orders, serving, cleaning, and ringing in the bills on the cash
register. I would like to use their natural play environment as a platform to
introduce the Restaurant integrated unit. It is my intention to put curriculum
and instruction together in an integrated way that makes sense for the
children. I also want to consider the multiple intelligences as I plan and
prepare the unit. It is my hope that the children will take the lead in the
direction of this unit and that we will be able to make connections across
curriculum areas in order to ultimately have experiences that can carry over
into meaningful life situations- children re-enact life to learn about life!

Write
sight words on bottoms of coffee cups. Place cups on table so words are not
visible to child. Have them turn over cup and identify the sight word. They
continue turning over cups and identifying words until you tell them time is
up. When time is up, they can create a tower by stacking cups with their
cups. For a less challenging game, the cups could be placed upside down so
the sight words are visible. Teacher could say a word and ask the child to
find the cup with that word on it. (Recognize vs identify) To extend the game,
children could write their words down
