Grocery Shopping


This week in class, we did one of my favorite activities ever.  I brought a number of advertisements from the Sunday newspaper and had the kids make a grocery list for a party they would throw.  We started by talking about what kinds of food they would have at a Polish party, then moved into using the ads to spend $40.00 on a party.  The lists they came up with were wonderful.  My favorite list started AND ended with whiskey, and had Huggies diapers in the middle.  What the heck kind of party includes diapers and whiskey?  It was partly my fault because some places like Byerly’s and Lunds have alcohol advertised, and I didn’t catch that.  Other interesting things students chose were batteries, detergent, and foods that didn’t seem to fit in a party atmosphere, but whatever- they had fun!  At the end of the lesson, Simon stopped and said,  “that was fun.”  Winning.


Whiskey is the top one here... followed by detergent and huggies, jumbo.
