Coins, Coins, Coins!
On the last day of school, my wonderful 4th grade students presented me with a very special gift...a piggy bank FULL of coins! As we all took turns holding the bank, it was obvious that there were a lot of coins in there. After lunch, we estimated how many coins were in there and then counted all of the coins. Most guesses were in the 300's or 400's. Guess how many total coins there were?! 1, 349 coins! WOW! The pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, and even silver dollars added up to $54. 07! I'm so thankful for all of the children and their families who donated money to help the children in Mexico and to help me get there. An extra special bonus to the gift...I now have a keepsake piggy bank with FSU colors! My class knows me so well! :)
