Awesome Unit! There were many activities that I can easily implement for students of all levels in my classroom. I can't wait to use it next week with my kiddos (I know they will enjoy the activities too!)!

Hi, Could you tell me how to play the penny spill? Also, Do you have any outlines for the Lincoln craft? Can't wait to do the experiment tomorrow. Thanks.
With the penny spill I pair students in groups of two. I give them a small cup with 1 penny. You could place more than one penny in each cup as well. The students dump the cup and make a tally on their sheet for heads or tails. Please let me know if you have any other questions! :) You can also email me at taradc87@hotmail.com
