Our Money Lapbook

This post highlights the money lapbook Grace and I made over the last 2 weeks. This post is also to show GRANDMA that we do real schoolwork around here and not just play with goo, bubbles, and fingerpaint.

A lot of the ideas for this lapbook came from Carisa, at 1+1+1=1. Carisa has also graciously provided printables for many of the elements seen here.
Above, Grace is simply sorting coins. The strip at the left helps her to remember the names and values of each coin. This was the first thing we did as we began to learn about money.
Inside: a very cute money poem-which has been memorized, a little book about coin value, and pet store money cards-used to practice counting coins.

The link to the Pet Store money cards is here.

Gracie can learn to spell using this element of the lapbook.

This Piggy Bank Coins book can from

Enchanted Learning.

This book I put on the back of the lapbook. It is also from Enchanted learning.

inside the book

Gracie has a hard time remember the value of quarters, so I made up this little chart to help her.

This little fan booklet shows ways that we can save money written on it.

Here Mark and Grace are racing to put the correct amount of money on the pet store cards.

So, Grandma, if you have read this far, real learning does go on in "the little house".
