Mrs. Drake's Classroom

President's Day

We stacked pennies till they fell and then counted how many pennies tall our tower was. This was a fun game for the kids all day as they tried to top their own record.	Studied bills and coins under the magnifying glass.
We made patriotic necklaces. First we cut red straws into an even number of pieces. Then we cut a star out of white construction paper and punched two holes in the top. Then we strung the half the straw pieces unto blue yarn, then the star, and finished it off with the other half of straw pieces.	Here we are seeing which substance cleans a penny the best - water or vinegar. As it turned out neither did - maybe the vinegar had gone bad but it did not shine up the penny like anticipated.
