I am looking forward to a good year in the Economics and Personal Finance classes and the Introduction to Business class.
A couple of announcements:
- Stashonda Holmes has been elected regional vice president for FBLA (J. Sargeant Reynolds region). Congratulations, Stashonda!
- 1st FBLA meeting for the year: Tuesday, September 21, 2010 from 3:15 - 4:30 PM
- Economics and Personal Finance students will be taking the MoneyWise industry certification test right before holiday break this year. Regardless of grade, those who pass this test and the course can be exempt from the final exam.
What has happened so far in classes:
Economics and Personal Finance (2nd, 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th): We have begun discussing consumer rights and responsibilities. So far students have been assigned the following: An eight question open-note mini quiz, a vocabulary crossword puzzle, research on product recalls---good scenario and bad scenario, and a worksheet on Consumer Rights and Responsibilities and Calculating Unit Price to find the best bargain. There will be a test on this unit on Wednesday. Because of the pep rally, 6th and 7th periods will have their tests on Thursday. Review all notes and any activities done so far.
Introduction to Business (1st period): We began discussing and took notes on chapter 1: Economic Decisions and Systems. We have left to review section 1-3 which talks about different economic systems. All other sections have been covered. Students have submitted the following so far: An analysis of two decisions based on the Economic Decision Making model and a breakdown of two consumer products of choice into their factors of production (natural, human, and capital). We will continue to work on the chapter this week. We will test on this chapter on Friday.
