5th grade is starting their unit on Financial Literacy this week. We're going to study different forms of payment, like credit/debit, cash and paying online. We're going to learn the different kinds of taxes we pay (payroll, property, sales & income) and also start learning about net vs. gross income, what it means to have a budget, and how to keep it balanced. We're going to pay this game- can you make it through a month with limited funds?
Today we used PhotoSpeak to make characters from the American Revolution come alive! Check out this video on Twitter to see how we did!
Today I'm excited to show 5th grade why putting numbers with decimals is a super important part of my life- because we use numbers with decimals to keep all of our nonfiction library books in order! We'll be playing Order in the Library to practice our skills. Check it out ... get it... library joke?
