–MONEY LESSON – complete the 4 pages of “How much money do you have?” –CREATE A STORE- Perhaps you have time to create a pretend store this week. Will it be a grocery store, an electronics store, a dollar store, a toy store, or a coffee shop? Then create items to sell at your store with prices. You can make some pretend money and ask family members to buy things from your store. Make sure they give you the right amount of money! Video of Ms. Mah reciting the 3D Poem -3D SHAPES PACK: Trace all the shapes up to the 7th page and then use your playdoh and toothpicks to make the 3D shapes. Remember, 3D shapes are fat not flat! -3D SHAPES AND LABELS: (This was separate from the 3D pack). Cut out the “3D Shapes and Labels” page and line them up, in a row, on a flat surface. Cut out the “Item Cards Set 1” and place them (in a column) under the matching 3D shape. Please do not glue them down. Take a picture of all your sorted shapes:) Please keep your 3D Shapes and labels in a safe place so that they can be used at a later date to sort set 2. |
