Welcome back!

Since Koby broke his leg, my whole world/organization has been off. As some of you reminded me, it has been forever since I posted on this blog. So.......WELCOME BACK!!!

I wanted to let Period 2 and 3 know that we cannot take our test on Friday. We have too many disruptions on Thursday-APES field trip and earthquake drill. I need one more full class period to teach the new graphs. So I need Friday to present new material. We will take the test on Monday and have a review session on Sunday at 4pm in my class.

Thanks for your patience, understanding, and good behavior the last 7 weeks. I think it is now safe to resume a sense of normalcy! :-)

Good work over the weekend periods 2 and 3 on those Standard of Living Comparison Charts. I am looking forward to hearing your conclusions.

All classes...do not forget that we will be visiting your counselors tomorrow for senior credit checks. Please bring any college questions as well.

Week of August 23-26, 2010

Sorry! This was an extremely busy week.

Periods 1,5,6 turned in Chapter 1 Cornell Notes and took our first quiz.

Periods 2 and 3 turned in notes on ceteris parabus and micro vs macro, graphing appendix, and vocabulary cards. We also took our first quiz. Good job to Mayra and Jenny for earning the highest scores! :-)

We also had Back-to-School Night and I was able to meet a lot of wonderful parents. You should thank them for coming out and showing concern for your education.

There was no school on Friday, August 27, so I hope you were able to recall the three basic economic questions and how they are answered in market, traditional, and command economies.

More economics next week.....Yay! Can't wait!

Is it finally Friday?

Another great week of Economics!

Periods 1,5,6-Make sure you work on Chapter 1 Cornell Notes this weekend. They are due on Tuesday, Aug.24. We will also take the Chapter 1 quiz that day!

Per 1,5,6-Today we identified and worked with the factors of production. You need to finish those lists and flowcharts!

Per 2,3-Production Possibility Frontiers and Curves...PPF....PPC....the fun of graphing. We will continue to read the graphs and interpret the opportunity costs tomorrow.

Remember to finish up the homework that is due on Tuesday!

Factors of Production

Would you like to be a successful entrepreneur? Keep the factors of production and their rewards of ownership in mind. Profits only occur after those factor payments have been made.

FYI-We will be going to see your counselors on August 31, 2010 for Senior Credit Checks. Bring your college application and letter of recommendation questions that day as well.
