Do you know how many cents each coin is worth? This website has the songs and poems you use in class to remember how much each coin is worth. Sing these songs to yourself to help you remember! |

Do you know what each helper in
your community does? Have fun touring this town by clicking on the buildings to
learn about what service each of these people provide for the community. |

How well can you sort these goods and services? Use this interactive game to identify the goods and services and who provides them. I will read the service to you and you can help me decide who would provide that service. |

Mini-Research
Real World Activity Let's
pretend that you are shopping in a grocery store. I am the cashier.
What kind of services might a cashier provide? How would a cashier be
able to help you in a store? What kind of questions might you ask a
cashier if you needed help? What does a cashier do? Re-visit the
interactive town
to refresh your memory about some community helpers and the services
they provide. Then click on the coin poem and song
website to make sure you remember what each coin is worth.
Now pick items you would like to buy from the items I have for sale.
Bring the items to me, the cashier, to purchase them. In order to
purchase them, you must count out the exact number of pennies, nickles,
dimes, or quarters that the item is worth. After you have
purchased your items, think about some of the other community helpers
and what they do for your community. What service do they provide? Who
do they help? Where would you find this person? Pick one community
helper, then draw and color a picture of the helper providing a service
to the community and write one sentence about what the helper is doing.
