Hi! I know several of us are using the State Quarters in our homeschooling. I was wondering if any of you knew about the US Mint's lesson plans.... I've got a link listed below for them. They have lesson plans for the US Quarters, the Nickels, as well as games, activities, and ideas for lessons. It is an AWESOME Site. I have been playing on it myself. All of it is about the history of our Money and our government branches. It's really great. Oh, and the BEST part.... it's all 100% TOTALLY FREE!!!

You can order up to 35 copies of each comic for free.... any over 35 are $.25 each. What a great co-op class idea!?! The comics are great reads and very educational. Here's the link for that. _http://www.newyorkfed.org/education_ (http://www.newyorkfed.org/education) They offer a free curriculum to schools, but if you email them and let them know you are a homeschooling family, they will send you a Video, Teacher guide, and comic for the "It's All About Your $". Y'all check it out and let me know what you think. There are some great ideas on the US Mint site. Great Homeschool Resources !
