Financial Literacy in 8th Grade

I teach 8th grade language arts and have a huge opportunity to collaborate with the 8th grade social studies teacher. Eighth graders study Alexander Hamilton's argument about taxes, which we could look at from a persuasive standpoint in my classroom. As a connection to today's society, we might also look at current tax practices and read some informational texts. I doubt most students are familiar with the taxes they will eventually pay as members of the workforce (or even currently pay as consumers). I think it would be interesting to hear them debate reasons for and against, and could lead to interesting conversations for them to have with their parents and report back about.

To my own son, I'd say this: This watch that I'm giving you means a lot link to me. It link has your name engraved on the link back, but it contains much more: the years and years of videos and photos and content and experiences that made it possible. Take good care of it. Take good care of things. Someday you'll be happy you did.

To have a 35-year domination of the market was extraordinary. But it link was not new for Patek. From 1941 to 1954 the brand produced the reference 1518, the predecessor to the ref. link 2499, but in only 281 examples. The 1518 was the original but the ref. 2499 was link still the grail.

I was making the 2,100 mile drive to Utah anyway. It was just a link question of how I wanted to tackle it. Nice and leisurely, like my road link trip through the Ozarks with a Marathon and my truck last year? link Nah. This was a chronograph, and chronographs are used to time things.
