Coin Exploration




















We explored coins, and discussed how each coin is special.
We used the coin rhymes to learn about the value of each coin. 

Penny, penny
Worth one cent
Copper brown
and easily spent.

Nickel, nickel,
Thick and fat,
You're worth five cents.
I know that.

Dime, dime,
Little and thin,
I remember,
You're worth ten.



Quarter, quarter
Big and bold,
You're worth twenty-five
I am told!
