Permission Slip Information:
Here is what you need to fill out the permission slip! Some of you may not have gotten this off the whiteboard today.
The Activity is Finance Education, as is the purpose of the trip. The location is the JA Finance Park in Auburn. The time is 7:45 - 2:00 pm. We will be traveling by district vehicle!


Period 1 - 2
We took our Vocab Test and watched a powerpoint on Chapter 5.2 in our Social Studies book. We took notes and discussed some of the economic reasons for the Revolution.
We also received our permission slips for the JA Field Trip (Coming up on November 5th). Parents can let me know if you are able to volunteer on this trip by returning the forms as soon as possible.
We spent time in the computer lab formatting our memoirs; we will hopefully be completing the typing process tomorrow and peer editing will occur on Monday.

Period 3 - We took our vocab test and then spent time in the computer lab working on our memoirs. The first drafts are due on Monday - we will peer and self edit, and then submit our finals by next Friday.


Period 5 -6
We took our vocab test; went over our JA permission slips and parent information; discussed the need for business casual clothing (the field trip will be on November 5, so we have awhile to prepare!) We discussed/took notes on English Trade Laws, and discussed the relationship between England and her colonies. We began typing our memoirs; I was able to book the computer lab for 6th period tomorrow, so we will have that time to print and work on adding to our papers; I will have peer/self editing sheets available for those of you who are ready for that step.
