The teacher overheard the children as they waited for the bus.
|
|
|
|
 | |  |
| The pumpkin patch was fun. We should grow something at school and sell it too. | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| Yes, What could we grow? I want to sell them like the farmer does with pumpkins and make money. | |
 | |  |
|
|
|
|
The next day, the teacher decided to use the interest expressed by the girls in a class discussion. I know everyone liked the pumpkin patch, especially the way the farmer made money.
|
|
|
|
 | |  |
| We would like to grow and sell things like a farmer! I want to make LOTS of money all for me! | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| NOT for you! For all of us! Watermelons are my favorite food and they are big just iike pumpkins. I vote for watermelons! | |
 | |  |
|

|
As the teacher engaged the class in determining their interest in making money, she had determine that the next project of interest to the children was about making money!
|
|
|
|
 | |  |
| With money we could help the environment like the farmers are doing! | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| We could also use it to buy things we want! | |
