County fair part 2

Today was "school" day and we were having so much fun I totally forgot to take pictures. We continued on our county fair theme and focused on math today. We talked about what rides are at the fair and how many tickets it would cost to ride each ride. Then we gave each kids some coins so they could really buy their tickets. After they bought the tickets, they glued them on a chart to show which rides they rode. It was great to see how each kids handled it differently.
After that we read a great John deer book about the fair. D (one of our moms) printed out mini book so the kids could color pictures of what is at the fair. We will put these in a lapbooks at some point. Then finally, they got to play while us moms talked.
This evening jaiden and I did a little more talking about tickets and money and we even did some skip counting. I did manage to take a picture of his finished chart as well as his completed leaf collage from yesterday. I'm sorry to the grands that there are no smiling faces but they wouldn't sit still long enough. :)
Tomorrow we will actually go to the real fair so that should be fun. Can you say funnel cake?
In love and light,
Stephanie
