Jump Rope for Heart

One day Rebecca took home a package for Jump Rope for Heart.

Rebecca: How much money do I have?

Mommy gives her money when she does some work at house. She earned $4.50 dollars. A few days ago, she used $1.00 to buy “squeeshes.” So she still had $3.50.

Mommy: Three dollars and fifty cents.

Rebecca: Can I donate my money to Jump Rope for Heart?

Mommy: Yes, you can.

Rebecca: I want to earn more money and also donate it to Jump Rope for Heart. Can I earn more money by doing work for you?

Mommy: Sure.

That day Rebecca offered to clean the downstairs bathroom. She cleaned the mirrors and the sink. Mommy gave her $1.50.

Two days before the Jump Rope for Heart form was due, Mommy told Rebecca she had five dollars and asked if she wanted to donate all of it. She said yes.

Rebecca: Can I earn more money by washing dishes?

Mommy: Yes. You can earn two dollars.

Washing dishes is usually Daddy’s job. That night he was relaxing in the couch and watching TV.

Rebecca donated seven dollars to Jump Rope for Heart.
