I was looking at CNN yesterday and saw an article that had an economics video attached to it, so I checked it out and it took me to a great website called wetheeconomy.com. I thought I would share this with all of you because it has some great short videos that are very informative about different aspects of the economy. I still have to look through all of the videos, but some of the first few I have seen were good. I will not be showing them all because some seem to be written in more adult language, but overall I was pretty excited. Enjoy.

I am planning on having their unit three test next Wednesday, November 5th. They do not have their review sheet yet, but will get it on Wednesday this week. It would be a great idea to ask the students about their review sheet and even quiz them on the material. Enjoy the beautiful weather today!
Don't forget to have those ready to turn in by Monday. Also, make sure you are not including your Social Security Number. I do not need or want that information. I hope you all have a great weekend and enjoy the sunshine!
The students started to create a children's book today. It will be due October 15th. Here are the details for it:
You are going to make a Children’s book that covers a few of the basic economic terms. The books have to have the definition and have to be illustrated. While creating your book make sure you keep the definitions basic so everyone (including students in an elementary classroom) would be able to fully understand what you are trying to teach them. The terms you will have to include are: Entrepreneur Scarcity Opportunity Costs Incentives Trade Specialization Markets Price Supply Demand The top grades on this assignment will have the opportunity to go down the the 4th grade and read their books to the students. It the past it has been a really great experience for all involved. We are going to be having our unit 2 test on Tuesday, October 7th. They received their review sheets today and those will be due the day of the test. The students will also have to turn in their rough draft the day of the test. We will outline the essay tomorrow so they can work on it over the weekend.
