April 18 Journal

I am glad you are here. Unfortunately, Gillion is feeling well so I had to stay home. However, I have set up my webcam and am recording class. Please be on your best behavior. You need to be on your assigned computer and stay seated unless you are using the word wall.
Today you'll have 30 minutes in Study Island an then I want you to move to My Access. Try and get the essay done and submitted today. Remember it is due on Monday. Also, remember what I said the other day: don't freak out if your score is low now. I expect it to be low, but I promise- if you trust me- the score will be higher by the end of the quarter.
  1. national Coin Week is celebrated in April. Pretend that coin money will no longer be used in the United States. Explain how everyday life might be different.
  2. Baseball? Piano? Dancing? What one after school activity would you like to participate in? Explain.

I think coins are useless you need the exact change. I like baseball and im in it right now.

Life without coins would be hard.
What if you need change?
If we dont have change to give we wont get change back. So you wont get 1 dollar and 50 cence back.
We wouldnt have change for the gumball machine or for pop.
An after school activity i would like to do is ice skating.I would lke to do thin because i love going fast and gliding over ice.

What would be different in every in everyday life is that i would probably be rich. what i would do is sell it. one ting that would be diferent is that like when you start a soccer game because you have to tos the coin.

i would play baseball after school instead of any of those things that are listed.

If there were no coins everything would have to be rounded to the nearest whole number. That could raise the prices on alot of things.

Anonymous said...

If coin money was no longer used in the U.S, people would not be able to get change for amounts smaller than a dollar. Things may become harder and many arguments would be started.
