We love music!!- and February is all about love-
Student council
wants to earn money for instruments to use in Mrs. Stewart's music
classes. The way they intend to do this is having penny collection jars
in each teacher's classroom. The class with the most pennies wins a
prize determined by their teacher (example: extra break, a p.j. day, a
video that may go along with a concept you are learning about, popcorn,
etc.). Student council will be making a poster to put next to each
teacher's door that will have a place to write the total amount of money
collected each day Feb. 1- Feb. 14th.
Announcements will be made each day telling who is ahead. I will also
include snack size baggies. Each day as you total your amount of money,
put it in a baggie before you put it back in your jar so that you don't
have to recount that amount of money again the next day.
The TWIST-
If
my class is behind in the penny race.....I can bring in other coins or
dollars and put them in another class' jar and that becomes a negative.
For example: If Mrs. Bitton has 100 pennies, and my class only has 50,
I can bring 2 quarters the next day to put in her jar. That would
count as a negative 50 cents in her jar and now we would be even. Get
it? Pennies are positives, anything else in your jar is a negative of
that amount. So your class wants to add pennies to your jar, and bring
in other amounts of money to add to other class jars. You MAY NOT take
money out of your jar to add to another class' jar.
We are hoping to help out the quest for Mrs. Stewart to be able to purchase instruments for McKinley! ....because....WE LOVE MUSIC!!!
WE LOVE MUSIC!!
