It is difficult to teach the home school math curriculum's lesson on counting money when one does not have any United States currency.
I thought I had some, but when I checked the cash that was set aside in that little pouch, I found that it was Hong Kong money. No good.
I resorted to writing "25" on post-it notes to represent quarters. Not quite the same, and tricky for an eight year old who's real life experience with counting US money in the past year and a half has been minimal.
Sigh.

About Me
- Lynne
- We adopted our youngest child, Gwen, from the Sichuan province in China in 2005, making our family SIX. In 2007, we were given the opportunity to move to Shanghai, where we lived for just a few weeks shy of five years. Now we are back in the Chicago area and readjusting to life in the US!

If you can postpone the lesson, you can get some in a couple of weeks! Yay!
I can let you have some of my play money. We don't use all of it. I also have some money cards that we are not using. I will bring it on Friday. Lisa
