They are able to connect real world with the math concepts that I teach. Such as understanding the value of a dollar and how it is equivalent to 100 pennies or four quarters. They truly love the opportunity to have the images of the snacks printed, so they could see the items that are in the class store. This gives them the opportunity to make a selection in advance of purchasing. In addition, they also record their balances and keep remaining money in pouches.\r\nWhen reviewing the itemized snack menu, one student read the price as $50 dollars for a snack and before I could explain to her, another student was able to explain to her about the decimal and quickly identified the symbol used for cents, or change as they like to call it. This was a great moment because they were learning from each other. They have been assisting each other in counting their money in preparation for shopping and deducting once the purchase an item. I'm grateful that there is a selection of items for them to choose from. This has made the shopping even more exciting. Thank you again for making my fourth graders feel good about learning and getting the opportunity to see and use technology in the classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1757421783169,"projectUrl":"project/our-math-is-not-just-math-in/9667447/","projectTitle":"Our Math is not just Math in","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Floyd","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1910010_orig.jpg?crop=2022,2022,x0,y386&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1756640028401","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/defloyd"},{"teacherId":10184984,"projectId":9616496,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation to our classroom store.Your materials, supplies, and snacks have made a difference for my students.
