Pay bills: http://www.gcflearnfree.org/edlall/pay-bills Click and do what the man suggests.
Check cashing: http://www.gcflearnfree.org/edlall/cash-back This time scroll over the other people at the bank and try to understand what they are saying.
Math Vocabulary: We used a worksheet to learn basic math vocabulary then used All Stars p. 43 bottom to read math equations.
We practiced some hands on coin counting and comparing amounts.
For one group: I handed out coins and we played: Do you have change for a dollar?
For the other group: I gave them 2 money flashcards. They had to add the amounts and compare their amount with their partner's. "I have...more than my partner." or "I have ... less than my partner."
FIRST HOMEWORK EVER ASSIGNED: In preparation for our last unit, students will work in pairs to decide on a food they want to teach us to cook. They must take pictures (at least 8) to show the steps of making the food. Students can post the pictures, bring the pictures to class to download on my computer, or print them out. More details will come on Monday. Stay tuned.
