On Thursday, I opened Grigway's Shop (name courtesy of a few students) for the children to purchase their pumpkin decorating supplies. Unfortunately, I didn't get much of the amazing lesson on tape but here's what I did get:
Please forgive the the editing skills...I am new to this and hoping to get better :)
The math & social studies skills the children got out of this activity were amazing! By the end of the shopping experience, most students seemed to understand the value of and difference between a penny and nickel and learned about making choices about goods and services people have to buy. Most children took their time and spent their money wisely. We will do a similar activity again in December when they decorate gingerbread houses :)
Here are the finished products:
...And of course, I can't leave out the Halloween party--where the learning did not stop! They learned about spiders and created spider brownies, decorated pumpkin cupcakes, and had fun with animal nose cups.
Stay tuned to continue on our learning voyage...
