Then and Now #8 - Trip to IGA

The field trip to IGA was a success! Even with the rain, it didn't diminish the children's spirit at all! Before the trip, each child was assigned one ingredient he/she needed to buy:





paying at the with cash

Theo - syrup
Allye - eggs
Molly - flour
Alfie - milk
Brendan - butter

4 ways to pay
When we reached IGA, the children went down the aisles in search of the items needed. At the cashier, I told the children that unlike the olden days (bartering or paying with real money), we can pay in 4 different ways. The children were given the choices of paying with a bank card, credit card, gift card or cash. Molly and Allye chose to pay with cash and Theo, Alfie and Brendan chose to pay with a gift card.  A big thank you to the IGA cashier who help each child (there were 11) pay for their own items.
