Paychecks, Budgets, and Volunteering

7/25/2019

Companies pay us for work in a paycheck not cash. We will put our money in checking accounts for daily spending. We will use checking account money for food, clothes, and bills. We will use savings accounts balances for fun and adventures like water resorts, Disney Land, buy something special, and California.

We went to Wells Fargo to ask questions about their job tasks, and banking information.

When Was a Time That I Wanted To Give Up and Didn't?

Drew 

There was a track race one time where I had to run a race against other people. There were a lot of other people there that I had to race. It was a long race across a bridge and then around a corner. I was starting to get tired and wanted to give up. I kept running because I was so close to finishing. My goal was to finish the race so I kept running so I could finish.
 

Adam 

When I have to do chores I do not want to do them. I have to do them and I do not like to clean the dishes in the kitchen. My Mom asks me to clean the dishes. I do not want to clean them but I want to make my Mom happy because I love my Mom. 

Charlie 

I played basketball on a team. I was shooting hoops. I have basketball shoes. Basketball is hard. I keep playing because I like it a lot. I like to play basketball with my friends. 

Jami 

Baseball is a hard game. I try to hit the ball with the bat. I don't always hit the ball with the bat. I keep trying because I want to get better at baseball. I want to be perfect at baseball.

What Does a Bad Attitude Look Like and How Can It Affect Our Work?

6/12/2019

Drew 

A bad attitude is when you are rude to others. It also means ignoring your boss and your coworkers. A bad attitude at work can get you fired. Your coworkers might not like you if you have a bad attitude at work. This is why we should have a good attitude at work so all of our coworkers like you. 

Adam 

Having a bad attitude can get you in trouble. Having a bad attitude will make you unhappy. A bad attitude at work may make coworkers not want to work with you. You can get fired if your attitude is too bad. 

Charlie 

A bad attitude is to get mad. A bad attitude is getting upset. A bad attitude can make you angry. We don't want to get very angry. It is not nice to be rude. If you have a bad attitude at work you might have to go home. If I have a bad attitude people might be mean to me. 

Jami 

A bad attitude is to have issues. A bad attitude happens when I lose control of my attitudes. If I have a bad attitude at work I might freak out. If I have a bad attitude at work I will know that I did something wrong. A bad attitude could make people crazy at work.
