Sigh- We did two weeks on bugs, two weeks ago and I have not been able to find my camera anywhere. I haven't posted what we've been doing since I couldn't find my camera to upload the pictures.
I took a few pictures today of The Princess doing some money activities so I thought I'd at least post about these. She is not only learning what each coin is called and it's value we are also adding coins together to make sums and learning how to read the name of each coin. Like the average child she is still confusing the Nickle and Quarter but other than that she pretty much has it down. Today we did a matching activity where she had a sheet with the denominations and she had to put the corresponding coin on top. A similar activity with the words rather than the denominations and then we played a game where we put the coin cards on top of the denominations (this Carousel game came from a File Folders- Time and Money book). The boards for the first two activities were a freebie from
The Little Man has been obsessed with "having a car wash" ALL WEEK. We did shaving cream with paint brushes two days, cars in the bath with a scrubber and bath gel and today we had a bin full of soapy water and a bin full of clean water and a tooth brush. He has REALLY enjoyed his car wash activities. Because I can not find my camera I didn't take any pictures.
On Friday I took a few shots on my camera phone just so I could actually put up a new post. So here is what I got on camera.

Here the Princess is placing coins on her math mat which has denominations written on it. This was a Freebie from Counting Coconuts (Money Math from May 30th).
Similar activity but now the math mat has the coins' names and she is matching the correct coin to its name.
This is a math mat activity from the Scholastic book Math Mats & Games Money. On these activities there is a denomination written on a piggy bank in the center (this sheet says $0.07) Then the student adds up the coins in each box and finds pairs that add up to $0.07.
Here we were playing a money game from the Scholastic book File Folder Games Time and Money. This is a carousel theme which is great for my pony loving princess.
Here is Little Man washing his "Crazy Coupe" This was our carwash activity for today.
