Week Three - Personal Finance

This Week


Students are continuing their study of personal finance after having taken the first test over the basic concepts of Economics. Students did well, with an 85.33% class average (and no failures!) Nice work to everyone. I also explained how to do revisions for future tests and urged students to take advantage of the review sheet opportunities in the future, which only one student did this time. 

Our studies this week have included human capital, personal taxes, and checking. The homework assignment today focused on how to keep a checkbook and how to reconcile your checkbook register with your bank statement. Students may need help with this over the weekend, so it would be a great "bonding" opportunity for the two of you!

Upcoming Week

Next week we'll be continuing our discussion of microeconomics with more personal finance topics, looking at things like how credit, credit cards, and credit scores work. It should be fun!

Have a great weekend,
