KUDOS TO:  Mikayla: what you said about your sister during our gratitude sharing the other day ranks as one of the nicest things I have ever heard a student say.  As well, Kudos to Betty, Kaitlin, Mobin, Jessica, Robbie, and Jamie for trying out for the DDPS Math Team that will be representing us at an upcoming tournament.

MATH:

1. We are delving further into financial literacy next week (Jason's presentation was just a warm-up).  I encourage you to talk to your families about as many of the following topics as you can over the weekend: credit, debt, credit rating, interest (compound), budget, loans, bonds, mutual funds, checking accounts vs. saving accounts, and taxes.  


Parents: as this is not directly in the curriculum, I am making the materials, lessons, and activities by myself and finding ties to the curriculum.  That means that if you would like to offer some input, it will be very much welcomed. This is definitely not my background, so I'm all ears.
