Weekly Update By: Aidan
The Weekly Update:
Welcome back from Spring Break! This week we will be continuing our stock market unit, rolling dice to determine the price of our stock, and recording the prices of stock from the 3 other companies we have invested in, then adding up the value of our stock portfolio, and comparing our current value of our portfolio to last week's value. Then, we will record our own stock price and compare it to last week, see if our stock has gone up or down, and then write an explanation for the price change.

Poem of the Week By: Sasha K.
Teddy Bear
I once had a teddy bear,
Fuzzy and soft,
But then my dog came,
And tore his fluff off.
Now I have a teddy bear,
Squishy as can be,
But now he's not mine,
He's my dog's, you see.
