ChecksOn the first day of this unit we learned

how to make checks.Learning how to write checks early will help us later on so we are not clueless when it comes time to really write a check. Then we would look like an idiot.

BillsOn the second day we got bills from

Georgia power, City of Cornelia, and Windstream.We all had the same power bill, but we got to choose what quality of cable or phone service we wanted.We then had to write checks to the companies.Then record it in our checkbook.

ShoppingShopping

On the third day of this unit we had a shopping activity where we could bring in catalogs and order things from them of our choice.I ended up buying a sound chair, skateboard, electric guitar, and other things.
