To honor Earth Day (Earth Week), the girls' school student council has been raising "money for endangered animals." (Now exactly what the animals will spend their monies on the flyer doesn't say.) Their approach is to assign a theme to tell students how much money to bring in each day.
- Monday: Add the numbers in the address to your house or apartment and bring in that amount in coins.
- Tuesday: Bring in one penny for each student in your classroom.
- Wednesday: Add the numbers of your phone number and bring in that amount in coins.
- Thursday: Count the number of letters in your name and bring in that amount in coins.
- Friday: Add up the numbers in the date and bring in that amount in coins.
So Monday we brought in $ .10 (per child), Tuesday we brought $ .20, Wednesday was fun to count and we figured $ .51, Thursday is $ .14 for Brenna and $ .15 for Cameron, and tomorrow we'll bring in $ .21 each. So each child brought in a grand total of
(drumroll) $ 1.16 (add a penny for Cameron having one extra letter in her name.)
Not only did they have fun figuring out the amount to bring each day, but it was a small enough amount not to prevent us, and hopefully others, from participating.
