Thomas County kindergarten students at Hand In Hand Primary School combined dramatic play, mathematics, and reading comprehension during a culminating activity connected with the book “Caps for Sale” by Esphyr Slobodkina. Students discussed the plot and characters of the story before one student portrayed the monkey character and another student play the peddler. The peddler rolled two dice, identified the numbers, added them together, and then one to one counted that many caps to put on the monkey’s head!
