We had a great class! We completed a lengthy lesson about finances. We made personal budgets and looked at ways we could invest our extra money, other than a savings account. We made up a hypothetical set of interest rates for each year from now until five years from now. We also went back and located interest rate from the late 1990's and calculated our possible earnings at the higher interest rates of the years before our economy took some real hits this year.
We also watched the first half of the documentary, Jesus Camp.
