Let's go Shopping

One of my daughter's favorite things to do is to go shopping. She enjoys browsing, getting a little something, and paying. 

We give her a dollar or so that she can use and pay the cashier. She also says thank you when she gets the receipt. 

She's been asking what all the different coins and bills are so I made a lesson out of it. 

Materials: 

play money
price tags
toys
paper and pencil

Focus Questions:


  • Cuanto cuesta? 
  • How much is it?

Lesson:

We first talked about the difference between coins - monedas and bills - billetes.  

I told her the value of each bill which she repeated. 

I placed some toys with price tags on the carpet where we could pretend to go shopping. 

We took turns being the cashier and the buyer.

She had to use the question "Cuanto cuesta el / la ____________ ? - "How much is.....? " for each item. 






Then she looked for the correct bill to pay for her item. 
She bought plates and food for her 'kids' (stuffed animals).  Such a good little mommy! 


~Happy Shopping!

Bilingual Seasons of the Year Printable

I have two children and both of them are growing up bilingually. I speak to them in Spanish all day, while my husband speaks to them in English and Spanish. We have been checking the weather on a daily basis to know when's the best time to go outside to play with water or to take a family walk.  We also check the weather to see the temperature in other states where other family members currently live.  Here's a copy of the seasons of the year printable that I made. It's available in a pdf file for you to use at home with your children or in your classroom.  The images that I used to make the Seasons of the Year - Bilingual English Spanish poster come from this website  Seasons of the Year - Bilingual English / Spanish Free Printable Click here to download the .pdf file. ~Fabi
