So, it's only been about 6 years since I made a blog entry, and I'm now teaching third grade, and not PreK. I'm not sure why I decided to post today, but here I am. Maybe I'll get better about making posts, and maybe I won't. Only time will tell. Haha!
Today in summer school we were working with money, and I pulled out my coin rubber stamps. You would have thought we told them they had won the lottery! It was a super easy activity to do. I found a digital grocery flier online and modified the prices a bit. They picked four items, cut them out, glued them on the left side of the mat, and then used the stamps to show the amount of money for the item (today they just drew rectangles for the whole dollar amounts). This would be easy to do for making change, too. If I had remembered to grab a sales flier or two from the grocery store, it would have been a lot easier. SOOOOO if you teach math, or want an activity to do with your kids this summer, this is super easy to do AND easy to differentiate! You don't even need the recording mat, just give them blank paper and let them have a go!
I definitely need to buy a couple more sets of coin stamps from Amazon to use in math stations next year, though! One set did not quite cut it. I'd also like to add some tail ones
