"if he's poor in hisself, there ain't no million acres gonna make him feel rich"― John Steinbeck, The Grapes of Wrath

In order to identify the amount of profit, we must first identify the different components of a receipt. 

Maria is assisting the students of V81 on identifying how much profit would be made. 

Based on the independent work, we need to review and go over the work. As I graded the worksheets, I have noticed many of you are making simple mistakes. Please pay close attention to the directions and the questions being asked. At the end of the day, it doesn't matter how much money we make but how much you learn. 

Homework: Please select 1 of 2 options.

Option 1:

Please note that question #4 requires an explanation for your pricing of the items. 

Option 2: Please answer the following questions. 

1. How much are the blueberry muffins?

2. How much are the danishes? 

3. How much are the Quakers bars?  

4. Based on the cost of the items, how much should we charge the blueberry muffins, danishes, and Quakers bars? And why should this be the price? 

“There ain't no sin and there ain't no virtue. There's just stuff people do.”

Day two of the breakfast cart.

It is a work in progress. 

Here at the issues we are facing: 

1) There have been complaints regarding the price of the items. For example <--(an EVIDENCE-BASED TERM), the price of coffee $1 which has been changed to donations. For instance (another EVIDENCE-BASED TERM), you can pay whatever amount you want to give. 

2) Did you think the granola bar and potato chips are correctly priced? If not, what should we price them? Should it be cheaper? 

Here is class V03 pricing the snacks. Do you agree with the pricing?

  

3) Should we sell the snacks and beverage downstairs at the main office or in the ADL (room 405) room?

 ANOTHER QUESTION:

4) Should the beverages and snacks be sold to students? Could this be a potential problem at MSCD?

Rashawn is creating a flyer to notify everyone that snacks will be sold in the ADL room.

HOMEWORK: Select 1 of 3 options.

Option 1: Answer 2 of the questions mentioned on today's blog. Of course, explain and justify your answer by including evidence-based terms.

Option 2: Answer three of most relevant questions to you.
Please explain why it is relevant and provide solutions to the issues we are facing.

Option 3: Answer all the questions and provide solutions to the issues encountered at MSCD (those that are mentioned in today's blog). This should be at least 1 paragraph.

The Early Beginnings of MSCD cart

MSCD CART

Student helped unload and 
stock the refrigerate 
with a variety of Snapples, granola bars
 and Starbucks coffee--to help teachers get 
the extra boost in the middle of their 
teaching day. 

Here they are ready to be sold. 

New coffee machine to go along with the many delicious pastries.
They were priced at $1 for each pastry except for the mini croissants. 
Do you think we should have charged more? 

Homework: Select 1 of 3 options for homework. 

Option 1: Look at the receipt above and see if we made a profit. If so, how much of a profit could we make? (There are 6 muffins in each box for $3.99. The danish costed $4.99 with 6 pieces in the box).

Option 2: How much of a profit can we make if we priced the mini croissants at 2 for $1. It costed $5.49 and there are 24 croissants in the box. 

Option 3: How should we price the coffee? Should we have a members reward benefit such as buy 2 cups of coffee and get 1 free cup? If not, please explain why? If so. please also explain? If you have a better idea, please share in 5 complete sentences. 

Again, as stated in previous postings please asked a family member for help if you are having difficult with the homework and of course please select the homework which you feel challenges you. It is important to be aware of your strengths and areas of improvement so that you continue to grow as a student and person.

See you tomorrow!!

Surveying the Land--"He could not see the land as it was...He did not know or own or trust or beseech the land.

Peer survey of the items we might sell at MSCD. Christerpher suggested peanut butter cups and cookies.  Soda is a popular beverage of choice for the students at 751M. It appears that Jeremy enjoys eating cake such as chocolate, velvet, cheese, and ice cream. 

Class V03 went around the school asking teachers and students from other classes what they would purchase. They started with breakfast items. Soda and Doritos are popular with the teacher. 

The bilingual  class conducted a survey regarding the jobs they would like to be responsible for in the ADL room.

For homework: Survey your skills. What are your strengths and/or your challenges? What would be the most appropriate job for you?

Option 1: In five sentences, describe your strengths and indicate what job would be most appriopriate for you? Please include why?

Option 2: In five sentences, describe your challenges and indicate what job would not appriopriate for you? Please include why?

Option 3: In ten sentences, describe your strengths and challenges. Please indicate what job would be most appriopriate and/or not for you? Please include why?

 

 

 

NEW DEVELOPMENT WITH SCHOOL GARDEN...

This is the blueprint of our school garden with new features.

 

Here is Mr. Lokenauth making additional adjustments to the blueprint.

"We measured it and broke it up..."

"We measured it and broke it up. We were born on it, and we got killed on it, died on it. Even if it’s no good, it’s still ours. That’s what makes it ours—being born on it, working it, dying on it. That makes ownership, not a paper with numbers on it."

--John Steinbeck, Grapes of Wrath, Chapter 5

 This is our school garden now...

 

We measured it and will break it...soon. Mr. Lokenauth and I have been working together to change the condition of the garden. We will need your help as well. After all, "Even if it’s no good, it’s still ours."

 

We are applying for a grant through the organization below. Please click the link and share any ideas you may have for our school garden in class on Monday.

“Muscles aching to work, minds aching to create - this is man.” ― John Steinbeck, The Grapes of Wrath

To close September's unit, Change & Continuity, class V81 sorted and reviewed the vocabulary words onto the word wall. The purpose of the word wall is still the same as last year's unit on recycling--it is to be reused, recycled, and respected. Increasing your vocabulary is high priority because

“as vocabulary is reduced , so are the number of feelings you can express, the number of events you can describe, the number of the things you can identify! Not only understanding is limited, but also experience. Man grows by language." ― Sheri S. Tepper



Maria assisted Carlos with spelling different items for the
breakfast cart in the morning. We know coffee is a definite
MUST for teachers.

Oscar is adding oranges to the list. He is trying to
keep the teachers of MSCD healthy.
