We made a list of supplies we will need for the grocery store and brainstormed ideas and jobs for everyone.  ·      students reviewed coins and their amounts we then looked our items for sale and decided prices.  Students  discussed what could happen if we did not have prices or if they were too high.  ·       We also discussed addition and subtraction of coin amounts.
