Greetings!

Unit Eight Test We are completing Unit Eight this week and while it is a short unit in regards to content, it is actually one of the most important units (maybe only topped by our Personal Finance items) because the Local and State levels of government will actually have the most impact on your day to day lives. So while we are focused on only the key factors that set it apart and alike to the U.S. government, please don't lose sight of it being a very important component to pay attention to. Please remember you are expected to practice integrity when you take your test on Thursday and NOT use your notes.

Budget Analysis Please make sure to pay special attention to the Budget Analysis this week. While discussed in the past, this type of analysis was one of the most missed questions on the final exam, so make sure you are comfortable with this assignment. If you have questions, ask.

Three more units to go We will have one more unit on government this semester and then will begin macroeconomics for Unit Ten. We have already been covering personal finance with Everfi lessons. We are also about to start another round of Everfi lessons using their lessons for investing, it even has a mock stock market in which to practice. As we are looking at items for personal finance, it could be beneficial to talk with your parents about owning a house v. renting, and buying v. leasing a car. We will talk about these things in class, but it is good to gain multiple perspectives.

Questions? E-mail me at kemiller@gaston.k12.nc.us Thank you for your time!
