=Welcome to Woodlawn Elementary's 2011 Penny War=

**//This year our theme will be Rango the newly released movie//**


=Your Grade Level Challenge=

Day One Introduction to Rango's Penny War
__**Announcement:**__ //Today is the first official day of our Woodlawn Elementary School's Penny War! This year the theme of the Penny War will be from the movie Rango. Rango features a pet chameleon who has lived his entire life in the confines of a cozy glass terrarium. Suddenly, his safe existence is changed thanks to a bump in the road that sends him soaring out of a car window and right onto the searing-hot asphalt of a desert highway. Here, Rango discovers adventures beyond his wildest imagination in this animated Western adventure.//

//Boys and girls, this week it will be your grade level's job to help Rango and his fellow desert critters stay alive. The first thing Rango learns is he must watch for predators and the second is that "whoever controls the water controls everything"! So help Rango save the town's water supply by helping him catch as many pennies as possible. For every penny Rango catches in your grade level's jar, his tongue will stretch to catch water drops leaking from the water tower supply. For all silver coins (nickel, dime, quarter, half dollar) and dollar bills, he will lose his tongue's length and begin to let the water supply leak. Without your help the town of "Dirt" will become just that.......dirt. So bring in your pennies everyday until next Monday and help Rango and his friends survive. The reward for the grade level that works the hardest to earn the most pennies, in order to help Rango and his new friends, will win a free movie ticket for each student on your grade level. Yes, a FREE MOVIE TICKET to see a movie of your choice! **TEACHERS: Please play the brief movie clip found in your email called MONDAY'S PENNY WAR CLIP.**// =//__PLAY MOVIE CLIP BELOW__//=

 * Announcement:** //Woodlawn, we are off to a great start helping Rango and his critter friends by earning as many pennies as we can to save the town's water supply. Our totals so far are: (get totals from Leanne) For the grade levels that are trailing right now, Rango knows just how you feel because Rango is having a hard time fitting in in the town of Dirt. In this next clip your teacher plays you will see what I mean! So don't forget to keep bringing in those pennies and putting those silver coins and bills into other grade levels jars so your grade level can be the one that saves the day for Rango and the town of Dirt.// //**TEACHERS: Please play the brief movie clip found in your email called TUESDAY'S PENNY WAR CLIP.**//

__Day Three of Rango's Penny War__
//**Announcement:** Wow, Bulldogs you are really working hard to help Rango fit in in his new town. Rango has made lots of new friends now, but the town has ran into some big trouble. Greedy bandits have just stolen the town's entire supply of water, and Rango forms a posse in order to get it back. Now, if Rango can just summon the courage to realize his true potential, perhaps he can help the people of Dirt and discover his true destiny under the scorching desert sun. So lets all kick up some dust and get moving! Boys and girls pull up your couch cushions, check the bottom of your Mom's purse, beg your Dad for all of his change, look in your car's console, and even check under your bed and find some change to bring in. Remember, pennies help your grade level but you can also bring in silver coins (nickel, dime, quarter, half dollar) and bills and put those in another grade level's jar. This will subtract from that grade levels total and help your grade level rise to the top, helping Rango save the town's water supply. Don't forget the awesome reward- a free movie ticket for each student on your grade level. Yes, a FREE MOVIE TICKET to see whatever movie you wish to see.// //**TEACHERS: Please play the brief movie clip found in your email called WEDNESDAY'S PENNY WAR CLIP.**// =PLAY MOVIE CLIP BELOW=
