Elementary education students usually have a hard time learning how to count money. To help them master this important skill, start a “money calendar” on the first day of school. Each day of school, put a magnetic penny (or a plastic coin with felt on the back) on the money calendar. When the students receive five pennies, have them change it in for a nickel, two nickels for a dime, etc. By the time the students reach the 100th day of school, they will have been exposed to every coin and the dollar bill!
