KIDPROJ: Money!

This project ended in 1996.

MONEY!

Hello all!

During this week at school please have your students compose a letter all about them, their school, their location, etc. Here are some items you might want to weave into your letter. One letter per school is really enough unless there are more in your classes who really want to add their own thoughts. You be the judge on this point. ;-)
We'd like to know...

Your global address. Where are you? Latitude and longitude? Let's find each other on the world map.
Is your city known for any special reason?
Are there any famous landmarks there?
What is your GMT factor? We are GMT -4 right now because we are still in Daylight Savings Time. That ends in October
What season of the year is it for you now?
Tell us about your school. Regular day school? Boarding school? All girls? All boys? Mixed? Private? Religious? Public? Size? How many students from grade ? to grade ?
What days of the week are you in school? What hours?
How old are the students in this project from your class?
What are their favorite things to do outside of school?

This should give us all a start. ;-)
As you and your students write these messages this week feel free to write back to the KIDPROJ-COORD list and tell us how the writing process worked. Did the kids come up with other things we should all include? Was it too difficult to write one group letter? How did you accomplish this. In other words... KIDPROJ-COORD will be our place for feedback to each other.
When sending our KIDPROJ mail don't forget to use the subject line like this:
MONEY: <your subject line here>
Have a great week! Warm hugs, Patti Wed Sep 18 18:08 EDT 1996

Subject: Money Around the World

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm teling everyone about myself!!! For the Money Around the world project I live in Brazil, on the state of Sao Paulo. I don't know the latitude or longitude, but for those who don't know where is Brazil, it's in South America!! Many people think that Brazil is a huge forest, but it is NOT, it is just like any other country, but many people see the Amazon Forest and think that the hole Brazil is like the Amazon. We are know in the end of winter and the spring is going to start in about a week, here is very cold, unlike other winters.
About my school, here in Brazil, I wake up 6:00am, take a shower, and go to school, my first class is at 7:15am, on Mondays, I come home at 11:00am, on Tue, Thu and Fri I come home at 11:45 and on Wednesday I come home at 12:30. It is a private school, in Brazil the public schools are very poor, I don't want to say bad about Brazil, but the government say a lot but don't do too much about the schools. I'm on 8th grade, and the school year ends on November. I'm 14 years old, and the thing I most like to do outside the school is go onto the Internet!!!
That's a litlle about myself. Tell me about you!!!

Subject: MONEY: Introduction from Delmar, Maryland USA

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi kids! We're the kids from Delmar doing the money project. Our town is called "The Town that is too big for one state." Can you guess why? We only have one traffic light in our town. Is your city known for any special reason? Look for us on the map. We're here: 38 27 21N and 75 34 40W. Famous markers of the Mason Dixon Line are in our town. They are near Todd's backyard. Do you know what the Mason Dixon Line divides? Our school is Delmar Elementary School. We have a lot of kids here. To be exact we have 978 kids. It is a public school. It is not an all boys school and it is not an all girls school. It's both. It is the only elementary school in the town and it is big. It is two stories high. And even then there is still not enough room. We have to have portables. There are 6 of them out back.
Our school is seven grades long. We go to school from Kindergarten through 6th grade. We have 5 and 6 classes for every grade level. In our grade we have 5 subjects. Some kids in grades 5 and 6 are doing the money project. We have kids 10 and 11 years old in this project. All of the kids are answering a question that Mrs. Weeg gave us so we can write this letter. Ebony wrote the days of the week we go to school. We go to school on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. We get off on Saturday and Sunday. We also get off a half hour for a recess.
Our school hours are 8:30 - 3:00. We start school in September and end in June. When we get to school we have to go to our homerooms because that is where we keep all of our possessions. Some kids eat breakfast at school. When the dismissal bell rings most of us get on the bus and go home. Some kids walk home. When we get home some of us feed our pets and some of us get ready for soccer games if we have them. We think this is nice that we are doing the money project.
When do you go to school? Do you love school. We do!!!!!!!! Now we are going to tell you how some people feel about the "Money" project. Jennifer White feels great about doing the project. Ebony feels the same way. She feels great about it. Andrew feels that it is cool that we are learning about money from different countries. Billy thinks that it is very interesting. Jeremy thinks that it is fun to learn about money. Kaley thinks this is a good idea for Delmar's KIDLINK program. Kristen Smith likes it and she thinks it's four fingers. Christina Nolker thinks it is cool and she thinks it's nice to see all kinds of money. Ashley thinks it is nice and she is interested in it. We all think that the money project is very neat and cool!
The season of the year for us now is almost fall. Here it is 65-70 degrees in Autumn. In the fall the leaves change colors. Do you know what autumn is? It is when the temperature cools and leaves turn colors like red, orange, yellow and brown. What is the temperature where you live? We are 5 hours behind GMT time except when we are on Daylight Saving Time like we are right now. So right now GMT is 4 hours ahead of us. Do you push your clock forward an hour in the Spring and turn it back an hour in the Fall? In October we will turn our clocks back an hour. These are the things we like to do outside of school. We like to go to the movies and play baseball.
Other favorite things to do out of school for the boys are football and soccer. The girls like to make crafts, go to Girl Scouts and make keychains with colored pieces of gimp. Stephanie wants to tell you about how she makes keychains: "I like to make all kinds of keychains. I like to make them with gimp and also with beads. I have all kinds of beads. I have little ones, big ones, and all different shapes, too. I also have a lot of different colors. I have a lot of colors of gimp. You can make ones that are spiral, square, and even ones that look like a zipper. The square ones are a little bit more difficult and take a little more time. The zipper ones are not difficult and only take about fifteen minutes to fourty-five minutes. If you make the zipper you need three different colors, one of which has to be longer than the rest of them. If you make the square one you only need two pieces of gimp, both of which are the same length. Once you learn how to do them and get good at them, they are alot of fun to do!!!" Do the girls make these keychains in your country? Wonder how much they would cost...?
Your new friends, Ashley, Michael, Jamie, Kaley, Ebony, Elizabeth, Kara, Kristen, Christina, Jeremy, Stephanie, Gene, Cate, Melissa, Dominique, Jennifer, Billy, Andrew, Caitlin, Ashleigh, Amber, John, Levin, Christine, Rebecca, Tommy, Darius, Trey, Todd and Tabatha

http://www.pmddata.no/eydehavn/
you can see some pictures from our part of the country and a map of southern part of Norway where we live. There are also some informatins about Eydehavn at our homepage. We are around 100 students at our school - from 1st - 6th grade... That means that we are the oldest... and next year we'll start at junior high... Most of us like to play football, volleyball and basket ball both at school and at home. In summer we often go swimming in the sea a few minutes by bike from our school In winter we can go skiing or skating here - on a small lake just 200 meters from school. In our country we speak NORWEGIAN - and in the north some people speak LAPP-language. That is vey different from our language. We don't understand it... Our money is called Norwegian"CROWNS" eller "KRONER" in Norwegian. We'll be back telling you what we have to pay for things we like and need later...

Subject: MONEY: Hello from Meeker Middle School
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello everyone, We are a new Internet class of seventh and eighth graders at Meeker Middle School in Tacoma, Washington. Tacoma is located on the Puget Sound on the west side of the Cascade mountain range. We are a Pacific Northwest state just south of British Columbia, Canada. Some of the special landmarks around Tacoma are the Narrows Bridge, Mt. Rainier to the east, the Space Needle in Seattle to the north, and Boeing airplanes where some of our parents work. Our weather has changed from very warm and sunny to cold and rainy. It seems the start of fall ended and winter has taken over. Meeker Middle School has about 600 students and is only about six years old. It's one of ten middle schools in Tacoma. We think we are the best and get the highest scores on tests. We have both boys and girls intramural sports three days each week after school. The boys have football and the girls have soccer. Starting this week we will have twenty students from Invercargill, New Zealand staying with some of our families and going to school with us. We will send twenty students to New Zealand in March. Some of us like to go to the shopping malls nearby and play video games at the arcade. There are also lots of movie theaters. When the weather was nice, some of us went to a place called Wild Waves park. There are big water slides and a large wave pool that's lots of fun.

Hi!
This is Mrs. Dalton's Class from Bowden, Alberta, Canada. Our global address is 52N 114W. Bowden school is known for being the most technologically advanced in Central Alberta. We are a farming community rich in grain, cattle, and oil & gas reserves. Our GMT factor is -6 with daylight savings time. Right now, the season is sort of fall and sort of summer too. The weather fluctuates between cold and warm. Like just two weeks ago our temperatures were at a steamy 25-30 degrees for the whole week and even a few days into the next. Now, we have temperatures of about 1 degree to about 15 degrees. During this week, the temperature was about 22 and then it has been raining with temperatures of about 1-2 degrees. On the first day of fall, Sept. 23, we were visited by an incredible snowstorm! Weird, huh? Our school is just your regular technologically advanced public school. It has 6 hour school days I think. Our class in particular is a room called a model tech room. These rooms have 8-9 computers and they are very modern. The computers are used for everything from the internet to typing. We go to school every week from Monday to Friday and sometimes we have early dismissals due to teacher meetings. We don't go to school to about two weeks during Christmas holidays and we also have Easter and two months summer holidays. We to school from 9:00AM to 3:25PM. The youngest person in the classroom is 12 and the oldest is 15. Some of the things that the people enjoy doing in my class are hockey, TaeKwon-Do, 4-H: Horse clubs and Beef clubs, piano, swimming, and skate boarding.

In the afternoon is grades 6a, 7a, and 8a with students from 12 to 18 years old, and at night is grades 5a to 8a with students over 15 years old. The city of Salvador is great for all that that arrive here, we have many. The Pelourinho is one of the principal points and tourist attraction, it was recently restored and it has many things to do. We love our beachs, principally Jaguaribe and Piata, where there's many *cats* (good looking guys). The carnival here also is very famous, we import from various cities of Brasil, with many singers and groups. We are anxious to particapate in this project, we think it's cool. We study in grade 8a, we're 15 years old (with the exception of Cristiane) and we like to go on dates, go to the beach, dance, and listen to music. We hope to have fun.
Big kisses from us all :
Cris, paty, Cintia, Nice, Aline, Cau and Veronica.

Dear coordinators of the MONEY project ,
We are teachers from Escola Comunitaria de Campinas, SP, Brazil.
In spite of the periods established, we are sending you all the information in one message, as we do not have much time with the students and November is our last month before the long summer holidays. We hope you don`t mind .
Thanks and hugs,
Renata and Marcia.

The currency in our country has passed through different stages and had different names, like REIS, TOSTAO, CRUZEIRO, CRUZEIRO NOVO, CRUZADO, CRUZEIRO and CRUZEIRO REAL.
