Last Day of School! It has been a really great year, and I’m going to miss you all. I hope you have an awesome summer.
Today we did a personal money management simulation – here’s the link so you can play on your own. Let me know if you can make it through the month with some money left!
No Homework – 😉
Almost done with the school year, but not quite!
Today was the Personal Finance Vocabulary Quiz (formative) – most people did very, very well. This IS our last grade of the year.
We also made an attempt to work on a credit card simulation – check it out here .
(Please note: it works best on Firefox or Internet Explorer/Edge)
Tomorrow is still a school day, and we have some great things to do regarding personal money management. I know you are excited, but please also be on-task and well-behaved. You wouldn’t want a bad choice at the end of this year to affect the beginning of next school year, and it CAN.
No Homework
Social Studies SLO/SGM was today. Nice job working on it everyone!
Locker cleanout was also today. NO bookbags or track bags tomorrow or Wednesday. You need your agenda, some paper, and something to write with. Your device is not needed in any class. You may (of course) bring your lunch box if you bring your lunch, and a water bottle. You may bring a purse if you need one.
