Last week of the second quarter is a short one and may even get shorter depending on what comes from the sky on Tuesday night and into Wednesday morning. In math class, we have one last lesson in Chapter 4 and then we will take a quiz on 4.4 to 4.7 on Thursday. On Wednesday, the Stock Market Project that was started on November 9th is due. We have been over the details many times and what needs to be turned in is on the bottom of the purchase/sale stock sheet. There is no Sunshine Math this week and no POW is due. Focus on getting the stock market project turned in and doing your best on the quiz.
In social studies, we are going to take a break from the book and our readings in Chapter 4 on the colonies and do a project. We are going to use what we have learned
about the colonies and pick where we would like to live and design a brochure that would encourage others to want to come and live in the same colony. Wednesday and Thursday will be work days and the brochures will be presented to the class on Friday.

You will also get back your quizzes on 4.1 to 4.3 and SBR #8. Please do quiz corrections on a separate piece of paper, if necessary. You have already been working on POW #8 and that is due on Wednesday. We will be doing 4.4 on Monday and continuing our work from that point. If there is a snow date, the same schedule continues, so don't let things pile up on you.
