We're Finished!!!

This YEAR!


We're finished! This has been a fun class and I've truly enjoyed teaching all of you for another year. My hope for each and every one of you is that you are able to successfully navigate financial challenges in life better prepared than you were when you started this class this past January, and I believe that you will be able to do so. You can now balance a checkbook and a budget, you understand how credit works, you can make investments in the stock market, and you can even plan an international vacation! I'd encourage all of you to continue studying how to be responsible with your money as you go forward in life, and when you're rich and famous some day, just remember your alma mater and the lessons you learned here!

In all seriousness, I do hope to improve my class each year and would very much appreciate your feedback on the course. Please fill out this anonymous survey and let me know what you think is good about this class, and what needs to be improved upon. You can find the SurveyMonkey survey here.

On a more urgent note, please remember that emails to your interviewees must be sent by the end of the day tomorrow, and that you must copy or forward the emails to me so I can read them at arch.grieve@wright.edu. Also, your podcast revisions (and any remaining submissions) must be turned in by midnight Thursday, 3/21/15.


Next Week


I hope you have a great STEMmersion course or internship! If you want to keep up with the biking STEMmersion's trips (and maybe get a few ideas of places to ride around Dayton), you can follow us on http://stemonwheels.blogspot.com!

Have a great STEMmersion and an even better summer. See you all next year when you're seniors!

Week Nineteen - Wrapping Up Podcasts

This Week


We are finishing up podcasts this week. As you can see, students are at various stages of the podcasting process, but all podcasts are due at the beginning of class on Monday, May 18. Looking forward to hearing them next week!

Students are at various stages of the podcast project, but many of them will need to be working this weekend on editing or even getting their interviews finished.

Today was also Bike to Work Day, so after pancakes I got to ride to work with some fellow teachers and students. Fun times!

Rode to work with the Bollingers, Ms. Poppaw, and Ms. Schultz!


Upcoming Week


Next week we will begin class on Monday by listening to podcasts as a class while I grade them. That's the last big thing we have, so only one more grade for ProgressBook!

Have a great weekend!
