Today we learned about the penny. We learned that Abraham Lincoln, the 16th president, is on the front of the penny and that the Lincoln Memorial is on the back of the penny. Tomorrow we will learn about the nickel. Speaking of tomorrow, we will be picking up garbage with our big buddies as an Earth Day project so if your child has gardening gloves they may wish to bring them. Otherwise, I have lots of plastic grocery bags that can be used as gloves.

I guess the cat is out of the bag now. If you were at last night's PTA meeting you heard that I will not be teaching again next year. I am in search of a brand new adventure.
