Classroom Economy Part Two – Day One

1. Explain the role/job you have been assigned to for our Classroom Economy.

I have been assigned the job of Chief Technology Officer. This means that if someone is charging their Chromebook during class, I have to report them to the president of the class, and they will get fined. I also get to keep $10 of that fine. Something I have to look out for is making sure I catch those people. If I don’t by the end of class, I get fined $100.

2. What are you most excited/nervous about for our Classroom Economy?

I am most excited about basically the whole job thing. I think that it’s going to be pretty fun to all have jobs to do. I also think that getting and depositing the checks will be fun because we can learn how.

3. In my mind, poverty is caused by people not having a job that gets enough money, or if a popular workplace gets closed down, so they can’t work.

The Holidays I Celebrate (Student Blogging Challenge #7)

Today I’m going to be sharing about holidays that I celebrate with my family. The pictures that I use are not from my actual family, but I found them on Pixabay .

In my family, we celebrate a lot of holidays. My dad is Jewish and my mom is Christan so we celebrate bothy “types of holidays. Here are some of the holidays we celebrate. We celebrate Hannukah. Hannukah is a Jewish holiday that lasts 8 days. Every night of Hannukah, we light a candle and give each other a little gift. We also celebrate Christmas. During Christmas, we go to my grandma’s house and celebrate with my cousins. We also celebrate some more holidays; Passover – when the Jews escaped Egypt, Yom Kippur – When we think about things we did wrong in the past year and say sorry for them, Rosh Hashanah = The Jewish new year, we celebrate by eating apples and honey.

Class Economy Part One – My Job

For our Class Economy unit, I am a “Cheif Technology Officer”. I am very happy with my job because it is the 2nd best paying job, next to the mayor who gets $4,000 per week. I get paid $1,580 a week and only have to pay $50 a week for bills – so I basically get $1,530 a week which is pretty good. I also get $10 each time I find and report someone charging their Chromebook during class. The only bad thing is that if someone else sees someone charging their Chromebook and I don’t catch them/give them a fine by the end of class, I have to pay the bank $100.

Overall, I really am happy with my job and I think that it pays really well.

Hi Felix,

When I read that your school does mountain biking I though that was very cool. My school does a bike trip for the 8th graders at the beginning of the year! Do you do anything like that?

Hi Champion2,
It’s so nice how your school dos community service. My school also does community service activities. Do you have an amount of community service to do out of school?
