<p>[QUOTE="Justin Lee, post: 3089021, member: 87404"]I get the opportunity to visit my 10yo son's 4th grade class next week to talk about and share my coins (they will get to hold history). My plan is to use chronology and important events in time and my coins to bring them both to life more. I'm starting with modern ones that my son has started to collect (1900's), then jumping back into early US (1800's), then British Colonial (1775 Farthing), then Columbus-era (Spanish Blanca's), then brief touches on Chinese Song Dynasty and Byzantine on our way to Roman ("What?! Gordian was only 3 years older than me when he become Emperor?!?"), then Greek, and finally proto dolphin money. I've been working on my presentation, trying to keep it simple and interesting for 10 year olds. </p><p><br /></p><p>Have any of you done talks or shared your coins with elementary-aged kids in a classroom atmosphere?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
