As I start trying to get the kids more fluent in money, I knew I needed another display. I found these really cute poems here at
Mrs. Wheeler's Blog for free and laminated them. Then I just used my display coins that I have had for a while. And where on earth did I have room to put this display? Well, I used the side of the cabinet that faces opposite the wall of the calendar. It was the only space big enough and I am too stubborn to rearrange the walls again!
Reasons why it is worth having a money display:
- math reference
- when they play grocery
- when the tooth fairy comes they exactly how much they have
- learning to save for something they want
- understanding how much the coins they dig out of the couch are
- and so much more
Love your creative use of space! And your boys are so cute in your header. I'm a new follower from the Hip Homeschool Blog Hop. Can't wait to click around your blog some more.
