Subject:      MONEY: Calculating Currency Conversions
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi kids!I hope you have been working hard all week calculating our currency
conversions.  Did you visit the WWW site that makes this very easy for you? 
 My students had a great time doing it.  They wanted to fill in the whole 
chart (and they did) but we'll wait and let each of you from our other 7 
countries show us what you found. If you have forgotten the URL for the 
currency converter here it is again:

The GNN/Koblas Currency Converter
http://bin.gnn.com/cgi-bin/gnn/currency

These 5th grade boys worked on our chart:
  
Wesley Smith, Jon Wages, EricPettingill, Tommy Atkins and Todd Hickey.

Help us fill in the rest!

Warm hugs,Patti
