The grade 2s have been learning about money in math. We have learned the names of the coins and their values, and practiced counting money starting with the dimes, then nickels, then pennies. To practice, Division 1, our buddy class came to help run a store. Each student had 59¢ in play money to spend. They could choose what they wanted to buy: stickers, candy or little erasers. The students had lots of fun making their choices, and were especially excited that they got to keep what they bought. The big buddies also got to practice counting money and giving change. It was a really fun buddy activity!
