Happy Monday!
We read, ‘Those Shoes’ in K group today. It’s a book that revolves around a group of boys who have the newest, most fashionable shoes. All expect for two boys. The main character has a conversation with his grandma about these shoes and how much they cost. The central problem within the story is deciding what’s a want (those new snazzy shoes) and a need (winter boots).
This lead us to create a web where each child came up with a word that they thought of when they heard the word ‘money’. Once they came up with their word, they had to decide when rolling up their mat if their word was a ‘want’ or a ‘need’.
Social Studies: K.4.1 Explain that people work to earn money to buy the things they want. Introduce money names and values.
Our focus this week will be around money terms and how people work to earn money to buy things. Sign-in this morning required kindergarteners to write what we use money for (shopping, buying things, etc.). Then, they had to draw something that they or their family buys using money. Friends drew things such as toys and a table.
In PREK2, children spun a wheel where they identified the chosen coin and its worth. Then, they found that coin and placed the coin into the piggy bank!
