A $139 Worth of Thoughts

Whew! I just hauled $139 worth of pennies (plus some quarters, dimes, nickels, Canadian change, euros, dollar bills, and a teeny penny-looking coin from some German-speaking country) down to the office for safe-keeping. Two people--or maybe just one--even gave plastic pennies. Your kids learned the fine art of rolling coins today. It was actually kind of fun after awhile. The kids really seem to feel a sense of unity in the fight against cancer. It's one of those things that everyone can get behind.

Also, we discussed animal adaptations--the kids put together some very interesting animals that were designed to adapt to any environment. They're going to share these creations with the class tomorrow.

REMEMBER: Tomorrow, come dressed as a character from a movie, TV, or your favorite book. And tomorrow is nickel day! Bring your nickels!
