Painted Sky is having a “Nature Shop”
You are going to visit our online Nature Shop!
http://paintedskynatureshop.blogspot.com/

When you are working at the Nature Shop you will have many different jobs. Your goal is to try and help our customers- spend all their money- get all the items they want- be happy!

1. You have a kindergartener with $10 to spend. Kindergarteners like LOTS of things so they want to get at least 5 items. Help them pick out the at least 5 things they could get for under $10. They can get more than 5 and you want them to spend as much money as you can.

2. There is a 5th grader that has $25. The have already pick out some items. Estimate how much they have spent so far so you know how much more they can spend. Here what is in their basket- wind chime- shell bracelet- $15 bookendsEstimate how much money do they have left to spend?

Now help them pick out items to help them spend the rest of their money.

3. One of your friends from 3rd grade is shopping. They have $15 to spend. So far they have …- A grab bag- sand animal- bottle of silverEstimate how much money do they have left to spend?

Now help them pick out items to help them spend the rest of their money.
