Economics Vocabulary
http://www.thomas.k12.ga.us/olc/class.aspx?id=2268&s=530
I was able to load today's powerpoint as a pdf file to my school website. If your student needs these terms, or you would like to make sure they have all they should, please find it here. A vocabulary quiz will be given Monday to review these terms.
STUDENTS - Tonight's homework - Study the words you were given so far in class. Decide what type of business you would start if you could.
PARENTS - Your student may not have all of the terms from the power point today. We had Grandparents Day which made some of our classes longer and some classes much shorter.
