Money!

This week we started to learn about Money.  We learned the names of the coins as well as their values. We also started to learn how to count coins.  At home, show a handful of coins to your child. Have them practice examining each coin and have them tell you information about it.  Also, when counting, we must remember to start with the coin of the highest value, and then use our skip counting skills to help us!

Grade One’s Money Rap
Pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters!
Pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters!

Now a penny means one,
And a nickel means five.
Dimes are worth ten,
And quarters….twenty-five.

Pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters!
Pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters!

Five pennies in a nickel,
Two nickels in a dime.
Five nickels in a quarter,
You’ll know it everytime!

Pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters!
Pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters!
