If You Made a Million

This week we read a story called “If You Made a Million” and I had the kids write about what they would do with a million dollars. The responses were... interesting.

One girl said she would buy presents for her teachers, family, and friends, then save the rest in the bank to earn interest.

A couple boys told us they’d buy all the video game systems and all the games ever made, and they’d buy some candy too, while they were at it.

Another sweet girl said she’d give most of it to children in Africa who needed food, but she'd also purchase an elephant and a bed for the elephant.

A different boy said he’d help his mom pay her bills and buy a house (along with a few toys and games for himself, of course).

And one of my “special friends” (who was mad about having to clean up his game 90 seconds earlier than everyone else for yelling at the people he was playing after multiple warnings) wrote that he would buy as many bombs and missiles as he could to completely destroy the school and everyone in it.

Yep.
