Ice Cream Shop

After learning about pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters, we turned our classroom into an ice cream shop.  The students were given coins and had to pick their toppings off of a menu.  The students then had to count their money to purchace their orders based on the menu prices.  The orders were then turned in and the students ate their delicious ice cream sundaes. Great job!!!

Money and Coins Theme

At home connection:  Parents please allow your child to count and identify a penny, nickel, dime, and quarter at home.  The more they practice, the more familiar they will become with the coins.  We will be having an ice cream shop in class next week and the students will have to count out their coins to pay for the ice cream and it's toppings. They will be using fake coins.  This should be fun for the students.  Have a great day!!!!
