Period 1 - 2
We learned about TAXES today in our JA curriculum (reading pages 44-50). We looked at how we pay taxes and what those tax dollars buy. We practiced writing out a check and looking at pay stubs to see deductions; we are beginning to understand Net Monthly Income...NMI. Period 2 found us busy in the computer lab working on our memoirs. We will NOT have a vocab test this week, as we are working hard at completing those final drafts of our Memoirs by this Friday, October 23!
Period 3 - We spent the class period in the Computer lab, editing each others memoirs, and finishing up our rough drafts. THE FINAL DRAFTS ARE DUE THIS FRIDAY< OCTOBER 23!! We will not be having a vocab test this week so we can spend our extra time perfecting our memoirs.
