The Power of Words

The Balcony

Mr. H told us about visitors to Verona who stand on "Juliet's Balcony," raise their arms, and exclaim a message. If you had your moment on the balcony to exclaim a message to the world, or someone in particular...................... What message of hope, love, peace, romantic despair would you utter?

Mine to world: "Can't we all just get along?"  (with an accompanying thought bubble addition: Just like Room14ers!)

When you grow up...................

Yesterday we talked careers. Now see what you may earn and how you will be able to live should you fulfill your career dreams. Have fun!

What about sales tax and/or tips

Today we learned how to calculate sales tax and tip. I gave you some opinions about tipping.  But now it's time to talk with your REAL experts, your parent/grandparents. Ask them for a statement or a little story about sales tax OR tipping. Maybe you could share their tipping advice OR when they lived somewhere without sales tax. Maybe they waited tables and they have a statement to make about who were good or bad tippers.
