Wow! What a week of learning we have had! This week Ms. Strum taught us about money! Ms. Strum taught us that a penny is worth 1 cent, a nickel is worth 5 cents, a dime is worth 10 cents, a quarter is worth 25 cents, and a half-dollar is worth 50 cents. Ms. Strum taught us something that will help us count money. Ms. Strum taught us that when we count money that we can use eyelashes to count. We learned that each eyelash represents 5 cents! Ms. Strum asked us if a penny got an eyelash. We told her that it did NOT get an eyelash because it was only worth 1 cent! Ms. Strum then taught us that a nickel gets 1 eyelash, a dime gets 2 eyelashes, a quarter gets 5 eyelashes, and a half-dollar gets 10 eyelashes!
Ms. Strum gave us several different sets of coins. We had to trace around the coins and put the eyelashes that matched each coin. Ms. Strum had us show our work and total the amount of money! We loved learning how to use the eyelashes. This helped us learn how to count money. Ms. Strum made sure that we knew how to count money using the eyelash method. Ms. Donlin,our student teacher, gave us a pig with an amount of money on it. We had to use the money and show the coin combination that equaled the amount of money written on the pig. Ms. Strum had us show our work using the eyelashes.
