We started money this week, and here’s a money book we made on Monday. The students keep these inside their work folders. We will refer to them often during our unit. A K teacher friend gave me a copy of the poems…not sure where she got them from. But the first two pages are for the mini book…it’s just copy paper cut in half the long way. The rest of the sheets are coins pictures and poems. I made each into a 8.5 by 11 mini poster. They are hanging on our calendar board.

My students loved a rap from youtube during our coin unit. Check it out, its called Coins In My Hands. They LOVED it. If you cannot access youtube at school, do it at home and use kickyoutube.com.

Thank you for sharing. I like the posters at the end with the real picture of the coins.

Do you have the "Money Song" by Dr. Jean? Definitely check it out too!
ReplyDeleteThis is my favorite money poem because it describes what each piece looks like:
Penny Penny, easily spent,
Coppery brown and worth 1 cent.
Nickel Nickel, thick and fat,
You're worth 5 cents, I know that!
Dime, Dime, little and thin,
I remember, you're worth 10.
Quarter, Quarter, big and bold,
You're worth 25 cents, I'm told.
Half-a-dollar, Half-a-dollar, giant size,
50 cents to buy some fries.
Dollar, Dollar, green and L-o-n-g,
Worth 100 cents, you can't go wrong!!!
Good luck with $$$$$$$$$$! :)

ReplyDeleteI love the "Money, Money," but am unable to print it. Is there a certain procedure?
