WHAT'S IN YOUR WALLET?

Here's a simple "hands on" activity that you can use this week.  Children can "save" sight words, letters, math facts, colors, shapes, and other skills you want them to master in their wallets.

How to Make a Wallet

Materials: construction paper 9” x 12”, markers, green paper cut 4” x 2”

1st Place the paper lengthwise and fold up the bottom to an inch from the top.

2nd Fold in half.

3rd Open and glue both sides.

4th Let the children decorate the outside.

5th Cut 4 ½ ” x 2 ¼ ” green rectangles and write high frequency words on them.
When children learn a word they get to “save” it in their wallets.

Letter Wallets
Younger children could save letters, numbers, or shapes in their wallets.


Math Wallets - Write addition and subtraction facts on dollars and save them in math wallets.

Vocabulary - Have children write vocabulary words on dollars and store them in their wallets.
