Today, Mrs. Pennington welcomed Elise into her “kitchen” - The Dollar Diner. The lesson was an “interview” for counting change. They talked about the importance of being able to make the correct change to ensure that both the customer and the business have the right amount. Way to make learning fun, Mrs. Pennington!
