Welcome
Whew! Recovery from homecoming, am-I-right?
Look below for details about your student’s class this week.
Entrepreneurship
This week, students finish up the “Downtown Ventures” projects with a pitch to the class on Tuesday. After that, I’m excited to introduce the big project for this semester: The Asotin Craft Fair. Students will develop a product to make and sell at the upcoming Asotin Christmas Craft Fair on November 5th. We’ll compete to see who can produce the highest profit on their $10 investment (that’s the limit). Students are required to EITHER attend the craft fair and sell their products, OR contract in advance with another student to do so for them. We’ll have 4 1/2 weeks to prepare. Excitement is already running high: last time we did this, I had a couple students make over $500 that day.
Economics
MORE Taxes! We’ll spend part of this week finishing up on the tax content from last week (homecoming!) and then move on to learn more about budgeting our money each month. I covered this in Week 1 with them, but I like to hit it in more depth here.
AP Computer Science Principles
We’re going to finish up a move we started which deals with computer science themes. Then more Python skills.
Business Communications
Business letters are the theme of the week. There is the formatting, but a lot of what we focus on is writing the content of the letter.
Middle School Tech
Google Docs are awesome for collaboration. This week, they share documents and collaborate on a short project.
FBLA
FBLA meeting on Thursday this week… which is definitely not the “first Wednesday of every month”, but you gotta do what you gotta do!
Makerspace
open for student use!
