Whales

Lesson Plan

For the year 2000 we collected 2000 pennies and adopted a whale. The children picked the whale and its name. From this we received a kit and a adoption certificate for each child. This was done through the International Wildlife Foundation. We had no problem collecting the pennies. You can pick any significant number and do this project. When we received our whale kit, I read the book and we wrote letters to our whale "Splash".
