Yesterday in class we were examining Canadian money.  We explored the various Canadian icons found on our notes and coins, like the Bluenose schooner and loons.  This examination included the Queen and some other significant people.  We learned about who these people were and why they are deemed important enough to be on our currency.

But choosing people to represent our nation can be controversial.  For this reason I gave the class the opportunity to voluntarily find out why the $10 note has been in the media lately.  Two students (Penguin and Storm) took up the challenge and presented their findings this morning.  Click here to see what Penguin discovered.
