Penny Collection

Featured Blogger: Mark
Do you know how many pennies 3Sp can collect in 3 days? Well it is right here: we collected 1,732 pennies in 3 days! I’m in 3Sp, when you are in third grade you will do penny collection in math. Also, we beat the last third grade class who was in 3Sp! I hope you love the penny collection when you are in third grade like I do! It's so much fun because you get to do math in math class like, counting how many pennies there in all! Also, you get to learn math while you're bringing pennies! Your goal is to get 1,000 pennies as fast as you can, and you can even get more pennies like we did!  You don't have to bring in pennies, you can bring in different coins like we did!  We started the penny collection December 1, 2015 on a Tuesday and we are still collecting money right now! Also, you can beat the other classes like we did!

We decided to give the money to two organizations who help people who don't have a lot of money like we do. We are giving half of it to the Natick Rotary Club and half to the Natick Service Council. We made our next goal for the penny collection be 4,500 pennies! We now have 3,589 pennies, but we need 821 more pennies until we have 4,500. So, this is the penny collection!!! After you complete the penny collection project, you will be a real mathematician!
