Multiplication Folder (Begins in December and is on-going until the end of the
year)
Please study the 0-12 multiplication facts for 10-15 minutes every night.
After studying with your child, please initial under that date in the
multiplication folder. The folder will be due every Monday.
Flash cards, computer games, interactive web sites, verbal and written
quizzes, and workbooks are wonderful ways to study! Check my website!
Penny Book Project
Please begin collecting pennies. Each child will need a correctly dated
penny for each year of their life. For instance, if they were born in 2001,
they need pennies dated 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009,
and if you can find it 2010! Please CLEAN the pennies and put them in a zip-
lock bag with your child's name. We will be using the pennies in the
final copy of our autobiography! This project will be presented by the end of
the school year.
This is How To Clean Pennies!
Method One
1. Get a glass of vinegar or lemon juice. Add regular table salt and mix.
The salt will react with the acid and form a mild hydrochloric acid.
2. Place your pennies in the vinegar or the lemon juice.
3. Leave the pennies for around five minutes in the glass of vinegar or
lemon juice.
4. Take the pennies out, and wash them off. Let them dry for around five
minutes so they will be no longer wet.
Method Two
1. Locate a cup and some ketchup.
2. Put enough ketchup in the cup to cover up the coin.
3. Put the coin in, and wait three minutes.
4. Wash pennies off in hot water.
