Week of Dec.12-16th

Hello my Business Ed'ers,

First thing on Monday your Advertisement Analysis assignment is due. We will then briefly review what we started studying on Friday:

• 3 reasons why people save
• 3 benefits of savings accounts
• simple vs. compound interest
• how interest compounds faster the more often it is calculated (daily, weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, quarterly, etc.)

We we will continue on in Ch.11- Saving & Investing, and be learning about different types of savings accounts and investment types. We will be learning about the 'Rule of 72' and the stock market as well. As previously mentioned, you will definitely be needing a calculator for this chapter and for the rest of the unit, so please remember to bring one to class. I have a video to show you on saving and investing as well.

As this is a rather large chapter, we likely won't get through all of it this week, but we will do our best. Depending on where we get to this week, we may start watching a Christmas movie on Thursday. If not Thursday, then Friday for sure we will watch one so now is the time to ask you, which movie would you like to see? The movies I have to choose from include:

• Elf
• How the Grinch Stole Christmas (classic cartoon version)
• How the Grinch Stole Christmas (Jim Carrey version)
• Home Alone
• A Christmas Story (little boy and his red rider rifle)
• One Magic Christmas (mother who doesn't believe in Christmas or Santa)
• Polar Express (animated with Tom Hanks)

Please vote for ONE of these movies in the poll I've created at the top of my blog!!


Now Playing in C125....

Thanks for voting and see you in class!
