Kindergarten Counts Money...

We have been learning all about coins. We know that pennies are worth one cent, nickels are worth 5 cents, dimes are worth 10 cents and quarters are worth 25 cents. Everyday we combine coins to match the number of days we have been in school. Some of us are still at the beginning stages of counting money; but others are quite good at it. We have little center of COINS in our class. We have books about money, coin stamps and REAL coins. We can sort the coins, compare them, look at them under a magnifying glass and of course, COUNT them. Take a look at how well Alex and Michael can count coins. We are constantly impressed by how well they count coins. GREAT job Alex and Michael. Keep up the good work!

Junior Achievement Day in Kindergarten...

Today we had a day of fun with a representative from Junior Achievement. Mrs. Boggs came to talk with us about how to earn and save money. She read several stories to us that helped us understand what it means to be a "volunteer" and what it means to "trade". We learned about "earning" and "saving" money. She brought along several activities to help as well. We ended our session by getting a certificate that lets everyone know we did a great job! Mrs. Boggs shared that by earning our certificate, we might be able to get a college scholarship from Junior Achievement. Isn't that great? Thank you Mrs. Boggs for taking the time to help us learn.
