Next week we will talk about how to read the Yahoo Finance site. For grades 7-8 this will be a review...for grade 6 this info will be new. You will need to understand how to read the basics about a stock from this site to complete the Excel assignment for Dec 12 and 19. If you have finished the test you may begin researching 3 stocks you would like to follow for the Excel assignment. You will find a link for Yahoo Finance under the Stock Market page.
Throughout the month of November students in grades 6-7 will have Computer time in class to work on their NHD project. Students in grade 8 will be working on The Call of the Wild...see page above.
