Social Studies Update Week of 4/14/24

Greetings 7th Grade Families!
 
The first three weeks back from April students will be taking their CMAS and Spring MAPS tests. This week 7th graders will take their ELA CMAS tests Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings. We ask that students do their best to get a good amount of sleep each night, they have a good breakfast and are present at school during testing. We will rotate A/B and C/D classes in the afternoon to make sure that all sections meet an equal amount of time.
 

When students do meet for Social Studies, they will be working on their "Get a Life" project. Students chose one of the jobs from their career search and using the salary, average student loan amount for that career and some credit card debt, are calculating taxes, monthly income, and using their debt to income ration to figure out a budget. They will also look at the process and costs of buying a car and renting an apartment. 

Please email me with any questions or concerns.

Sincerely,

Mr. Rowan
