Ah, Math! The children were so excited today to "go shopping." Their assignment was to spend $30 as a group and boy! They have definite likes, dislikes, and powers of persuasion. I loved their creative thinking. One group planned a meal, another a picnic, another a trip to Clear Creek, and another planned a Halloween Party! Some cared about throwing in a fruit or veggie, but some felt really good about a case of Kit Kats with Scooby Snacks, cookies, and Powerade to go with. One group had steak, ribs, and chicken! One boy was advocating for himself amongst his group, "Guys, I LOVE candy! We gotta have some candy!" Another girl sort of screamed out, "Chips!" Somewhere in the middle of that we practiced rounding and estimating.
