We have started our personal finance unit. We began the unit with the Millionaire Game. Studnets had difficulty identifying behaviors they thought millionaires would show. It was a fun way to learn the truth about millionaires.
One of the concepts we are trying to help our 6th graders learn is the beauty of compounded interest with systematic saving. Ask your student about the rule of 72.
The 6th grade teachers would like to thank the National Council on Economics Education for providing their wonderful publications for use in our classrooms.
We are finishing up Chapter 25 in Social Studies and will have a test on Monday, May 5, 2008. The students need to study for this test using the Reading Study Guide and notes from class. There is no homework except to study for the test.

In both RCICA and Social Studies we are working on Australia this week. There will be very little if any homework during CRCT (April 23-29).
Encourage your student to get a good nights rest, eat breakfast and BE ON TIME FOR SCHOOL each day during the CRCT process.
As you all know CRCTs are next week. The students need to be at school on time each day, need to get a good night's sleep and they need to eat breadfast before coming to school.
Social Studies students have a test on Chapter 5 on Monday, April 21, 2008.
