The 100th day of school is quickly approaching. Katelyn, our kindergartner has been asked to collect 100 items to bring to school. The first thing she thought of was books. Now we of course have well over 100 books, but...I AM NOT LUGGING 100 BOOKS TO SCHOOL. So, we began to brainstorm we came up with paper clips, hot wheel cars, buttons etc. We figured most of these other kids would think of. That's when I suggested what about emails Katie?
She thought that was a fun idea. We sent an email last night to those in our personal account and then in my business account. We simple asked that people send her a quick email to say "hi" and where they were from. Five minutes after we sent out the email we received an email from Houston. Since then I have received 34 emails. Ranging in location from Strongsville, Ohio (which is just down the road) to England! She is so excited to hear from people, as most have sent her a little message. It's made it even nicer today as she is home sick from school.
We still want this to be her project. Therefore we are reading each one, and then will be locating them on a map together to figure out which came the farthest, the closest, the fastest. She also predicted that it will only take 3 days to get 100 emails.
If you would like to help out with this project just drop her a note to Katelyn at randpkz@yahoo.com
