Snow in Panama???
Did we really have snow here? Well the kids thought so...they tossed cotton snowballs & had a snowball fight!!!
This is how it looked when we set it up...we had some cheese balls, Quaker fish cereal, little plastic balls, some REAL money, AND cotton ball snow:)
Some of my boys have always been a challenge to get motivated to sit, write, and do school work! This was a big hit! He sat, he counted, he ate, and he learned about money.
Snowballs at .10 cents a piece! Yes, we use American money here. The only difference is that the money is usually called "Balboas" instead of dollars and the coins are "centavos" instead of a penny, nickel, and dime! We also have a few extra Panamanian coins added to the mix:)
Next we reviewed using tally marks... and then added it all up to see how much we had to pay for all those snow balls we used:)
We also fed fish to a penguin and apples (and cheese balls) to a reindeer:)
We had so much fun using these they were asking for more...so I made more:)

Now the bigger kids want to have a snowball fight and toss snowballs:)
What´s a teacher-mom to do?
You may be seeing some math centers for older kids soon-lol
I love it when they enjoy learning and ask for more...It makes teaching so much easier!!!

What a great idea! If you don't have snow, use a substitute. :-) These look like they were lots of fun.
