Review # 1 was written on 2011-06-21 00:00:00 Jeff Goodwin Sluggars Car Wash would be a fun read aloud that could be turned into an exercise in word problems. This would be especially fitting in my class because my students always enjoyed read alouds and so I helped coax them into enjoying word problems by telling them that word problems are simply stories and they can enjoy them much like the stories we hear aloud. They can put themselves in the charaters places and make text to self connections, make predictions on what they think will happen (have more or less things and tell me why). This book would also be a good idea as a center to have the kids model what the children had to buy for the carwash (ex: spongest $8.13. They could create a picture of a sponge and show a way they would pay $8.13).

Review # 2 was written on 2012-07-19 00:00:00 Robert Duplanti I absolutely love this book because it includes diverse children and the literature is well developed. Sluggers Car Wash focuses on the concept of counting and adding money. Students can add up how much money the team is making as they read each page of the book. It really is a fun book to read and teachers can do a mini lesson with this book before starting a math lesson on counting money.
