A great week for learning

This was a great week. I really enjoyed every class I taught.

The freshmen learned about how much sleep they need and how badly they are affected when they don't get enough sleep. For the next week they are keeping a sleep and food diary so we can track how they are treating their bodies with sleep and food.

The sophomores are learning about Coach John Wooden and his way of looking at success. We had some great discussions about whether success is determined by us or by other people and about the definition of success.

The juniors learned some strategies to help them with the ACT. The major one is "triage," which means to do all the easy ones first, then go back and do the ones that will take more time. Use the "letter of the day" as your answer for the ones you are guessing at.

The seniors had 2 classes on money management. We learned about checking and savings accounts and today learned about debit cards and credit cards. It's interesting how credit cards really punish you if you don't pay off the balance each month. But if you do pay off the balance, you can earn free rewards from the card.

It was a fun week and I feel like we are really getting into the "meat" of CLASS.
