The Nickel Book

Bear has been coming home from school with something called "The Penny Book." It's this great little book in which she needs to choose the penny stamp and stamp the correct number of times on each page (1 cent, 2 cents, etc to 10 cents).

I don't know if they have a nickel book at school, but I thought it would be terrific to help her learn to count by fives faster. So I made her one.  You can get it here.  Cut along the black lines, put the pages in order and then staple (Bear does all of that).  Student stamps the correct number times with the nickel stamp.  Below is just a snapshot of the first page.  The real document is better:)

  1. I'm a bit slow tonight, but by "penny stamp" do you mean a rubber stamp of a penny, or like a 1 cent postage stamp? Yeah, I feel dumb. lol

  2. Don't feel dumb! I wasn't clear on that. I really should have included a photo. It is a rubber stamp of all the coins. I'll put an Amazon link in after breakfast:)
