Kindergarten Learns about Money!

Kindergarten is learning all about money! We started off learning the names of the coins and how much they are worth. We know a penny is 1cent and has Abraham Lincoln on it. We also learned it is a copper color. We soon moved on to nickle learning it's 5 cents and a dime is 10 cents.
Morah would pretend we had a candy store and every gumdrop was a certain amount of money. For example, if the gumdrop was 7 cents, the children learned they could pay by giving 7 pennies or by giving 1 nickle and 2 pennies. The children are having so much fun learning all about how to count and use money.
