This Week
Monday of course was a Plan E day, and students were provided with a video that I had actually made on the exact same day a year ago for another Plan E day going over how compound interest works. Students were asked to turn in this assignment on Wednesday after we heard from Gabe Landes on Tuesday. Mr. Landes is a local insurance agent who speaks to my students each semester about auto, home, life, and disability insurance by explaining that the purpose of each of these wealth-protecting tools is to collect a small amount of money from a lot of individuals in order to pay for the unexpected claims of a few. Students asked lots of questions and he had an answer for all of them. Thanks for coming again, Gabe!

On Wednesday we continued our look at personal finance. Because students have had so many great questions, we are taking things slowly as we work through the unit, so we are still talking about credit and what it is, how it works, and how to increase your credit score. As two teachers verified for the class on Thursday, this is the kind of stuff they didn't hear in high school that they wish they'd known before entering college!
Upcoming Week
Next week we will be continuing our look at personal finance before eventually moving onto our dream vacation project.
Have a great weekend!
