A new class the kids will be participating in this month…

 

ON YOUR OWN coast to coast

( a personal finance adventure)

http://www.enasco.com/product/WA25380H
Grade 7 and up.
Now students can face the day-to-day, real life challenges of living on their own in 12 different cities from coast to coast including: Chicago, IL; Eugene, OR; Los Angeles, CA; Fitchburg, MA; Atlanta, GA; New York, NY; Fort Pierce, FL; Raleigh, NC; Lubbock, TX; Casper, WY; Des Moines, IA; and Sterling, IL. They will practice skills needed to be independent: finding a job, buying a car, creating a budget, buying insurance, saving and investing, renting an apartment, opening bank accounts, paying bills, making spending decisions, facing financial emergencies, and more.

Well everything I had planned for this weekend has been changed, and then changed again.  Oh well.  I guess that is just the way life goes around here.  So I wonder what will actually happen this weekend?  :o)

 

I had better go and get my day started.  There are things that need to be done today.

SINKING INTO THE ARMOR

 

An excellent read this morning… SINKING INTO THE ARMOR by Jewelz.  You can read it here… http://jewelsightings.blogspot.com/2011/01/sinking-into-armor.html

She is completely in charge of her education.

Shonda,
I think this is the key. Delight-directed education shifts the responsibility to the teen and this ownership is motivating. Teens that are not as invested, for whatever reason, may not appreciate college. (Not saying that only delight-directed students are invested--you can be invested with any approach!)
