Bobby's Thoughts
Sometimes my mom's pockets make a funny noise. When I hear this noise, it makes my ears perk up and I wonder what I'm hearing. Then she reaches into her pockets and brings out some round, metal things. I sniff the air but they don't smell like something that would be good to eat. I notice that she puts those things in a glass jar. I wonder what that is all about.
Then one day she took that glass jar and poured out all those metal things and
would put them in different stacks. After she counted them, she put them in a bag and we went to the store. When we got to the store she picked up a bag of oh so yummy smelling treats for me!!! I was so excited that I was doing circles! We went to the front and she pulled out that bag of metal things and gave it to the lady. The lady told us "thank you" and then we left with my treats!!!
While I was sitting in the car eating a couple of my treats, my mom told me that the metal things were called money and that she uses money to buy me treats and food. She said some of the coins were worth only a little bit, but if we saved those little ones they add up to make bigger amounts. Once we have bigger amounts then we can buy things at the store.
At school my friends are collecting coins to help for PTO. We have large, empty water bottles that my friends can put their coins into. I asked my mom if we could bring some coins for my friends...and she said that
 would
be such a kind thing to do!
So today along with my assistant, Margo, we went to
every classroom and gave them one of my nickels. It made me feel so good to share with my friends and it goes to something really special. I feel like I helped someone today. I heard the grade level that brings the most coins in will win a pizza party! I wonder if they will share with me.
My pennies were little, but when I saved them they made something even bigger - a nickel. I bet my nickels added together will make something even bigger! I can't wait to see how much we collect!
