Interesting activity: A person had an interesting idea with a dollar which you might want to try a similar project. Write the school's email(and teacher's name) on a dollar bill asking people that come across the dollar to send along a short email saying how the dollar came into their possession and where they live. You could use this as a geography activity, mapping out where the dollar travels. Read the article at this site: http://www.rd.com/content/artist-dean-bracy-tracks-the-life-of-a-dollar-bill/
