7th – Classroom Economy…Evicted

Unfortunately, we had our first eviction notice placed today in class.  Someone overdrew their account drastically and they are being forced from their seat.

The fortunate part of this is that it transitioned so well into our next area of focus: reading the wonderful book Evicted.  Evicted is a non-fiction book focusing on families in the City of Milwaukee experiencing eviction.  This book sheds light onto many problems people have while living in poverty; which is the types of insights we want to have access to.

We started to read the book today; focusing on just the prologue.  Within that section of the book and throughout, we will focus not just on the impact of poverty, but also the geographic areas the book encompasses so as to better understand what areas poverty impacts and how we do eventually do our part to help the situation.
