A Penny A Day

Math focus:  money
(penny & nickel)


 


We add a penny each day. 
When we have 5 pennies, we can trade for a nickel.
(Thanks to Tommie and Computers
for Education for our magnetic money.)




This week we worked on making patterns using pennies and nickels.
We made a pattern and then separated it into it's units.

It's Beginning to Look Alot Like Christmas











We still need more practice sorting.
We sorted our shapes before working in our journals.



Now all of our pattern block cut outs are sorted.
