The Bear Bean is a fun weekly "job" that our students work in. We have a lot of fun, but it is also a LOT of work. Here is a list of every job description in our shop:
Every Wednesday afternoon in Functional Foods, the following jobs are completed in preparation for the shop being opened on Thursday:
1st/2nd Block Planning
Students read the Google Sheet table of this week’s orders. For every order they write the room number, teacher name, and method of payment on the planning form for the correct block. This form will be used during deliveries tomorrow when the shop is open.

1st/2nd Block Count + Crate
Students read the Google Sheet table of this week’s orders. They use the table to determine how many cold drinks (smoothies + iced coffees) and hot drinks (coffee + hot chocolate + apple cider) are in each block. Then they take the numbers of hot and cold, and count that many hot supplies (cup, sleeve, lid) and cold supplies (cup, lid, straw). They place those supplies in the crate for the block they’re working on.
