The children have been enjoying learning about money this week. Ask them about some of the money trivia that they discovered while investigating their coins! (Which coin has a president facing a different direction? What word is on every coin? Why do we have ridges on coins?) Today we practiced making change in a shopping setting, using the strategy of "counting up" to a dollar to give the correct change. Get involved at home by having your child participate in a shopping trip and letting them figure out the necessary change during the transaction.
