Many of the students have been interested in the recent government spending bills.  They have lots of questions and demand answers.  Today, we read the weekly Planet Money Newsletter (Planet Money is an economic-focused podcast put on by NPR); which summarized a lot of the proposed spending as of late.

Feel free to check out the newsletter here so that you can engage in a conversation with your child.  Additionally, some students seemed fascinated with our country’s debt so we took a detour to look at the debt clock (located here).
