Gingerbread cookie store

In math last week the children learned about coins. They spent the week identifying coins and their value then on Friday I opened a Gingerbread man store. The children were so excited all week including a poor kid who got strep but didn't tell me he was sick because he wanted to stay for the store. I put a menu of how much the gingerbread man and the decorations cost and they had to come up with a plan as to what they would like to buy with their twenty five cents. They then had to bring me their money and add everything up and pay for it. They did a great job adding up the money and making some cute gingerbread man.
