After agendas most students received new seats.

We now have group points for extra Golden Time. Students came up with their group names!

Then we had PE with Ms. Yustin.

After PE we had math. Today we looked at relationships among coins and bills.

We started off by identifying what each coin and bill is, how much it is worth and how to write it in two different ways. Students helped co-construct an anchor chart to help us remember. We also discussed how pennies are not in circulation anymore and that $2.00 is like 200 cents.

After exploring money we looked at the relationship of money and how to use skip counting to help us determine different ways to show certain values

Working in groups some example of relationships among bills and coins that we looked at were how many:
-quarter make a dollar
-dimes make a dollar
-tens make a hundred dollars
-fives make fifty dollars

In order to figure out how many fives make a fifty in a five we skip counted by five until we got to 50
5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,40

So we skip counted 10 times which means that 10 five dollar bills make fifty dollars.

We also looked at a fifty dollar bill and tried to figure out how many 20 dollar bills make a fifty.
We realised that we cannot do this because if we count by 20's we do not land on fifty.
20,40,60 so we would need two 20 dollar bills and one ten dollar bill.

We spent a lot of time working hands on today and tomorrow we will continue to look at money relationships and counting money.

After we had first lunch and recess.

We worked on our speeches today. Most students are beginning to write their paragraphs and by Monday I would like everyone to be completed their paragraphs so that we can begin practicing in class.

Then we had music, French, and second lunch and recess.

After recess we visited Mr. Foster's grocery store! Lots of healthy foods!

What a great day to have this since we were learning about money today!

When we returned we worked on our speeches again and then got ready for home.
