We began our money unit today and discussed how people can get income. We also discussed income taxes, gross pay vs. net pay and looked at some common living expenses. We compared income levels for individuals that had a college diploma versus those with a high school diploma and the students were able to see why investing in themselves and continuing their education could yield higher income levels. When discussing education, we talked about college, vocational/techical school and the military as all viable options that will improve their skills and make them more marketable.

The new nine weeks has begun we spent the week getting to know each other. We have been reviewing the three main rules of the classroom:
Students were also set up to develop their keyboarding skills on web based program, typing.com, and many have begun their beginner lessons. We will have a unit review and test on Thursday. The material covered will be related to the units on money that students have been working on in class through the Everfi progam.
We will conclude the last day of the nine weeks with a guest speaker on Friday, Oct. 7th. |
