Checking In

Hi Everybody,

Sorry for the late post...

I was very impressed by your contributions in class today around our intro to density!!!  Fantastic work!  We will jump into labs/activities tomorrow.

You were all so engaged in researching stocks today it was wonderful.  We will start trading in the morning.  Hopefully you will start to listen to the business reports on the news or pick up the newspaper and flip to the business section.  Ask your adults for guidance/thoughts/hints/tips etc and continue to research your stocks to ensure that you are making the best decisions for your trades & portfolio!

I'm not sure we will have much time together on Friday as the Remembrance Day assembly will fall during our block rotation.  We will need to be flexible around this and perhaps pick up a bit of extra homework load this weekend.
