This week we started to explore coins and their values. We sorted and counted the various coins and learned two games - Collect 25 Cents and Roll for $1.00. This provided the children with practical experience adding up coins and making trades for the different coins.
We also started our year long service project - observing and counting birds through eBird.org. We'll be going outdoors to take a monthly bird count on the Parker property and entering the data into a national database on the eBird website. We will be graphing our results back in the classroom, as well as completing word problems and other relevant activities. On our first outing we spotted almost 30 birds! Now we just have to get better at identifying them. ;)
