Economics students-- for those who missed class on Tuesday you need to get guided reading 3-3 from the absentee bulletin board.  You also need to turn in your bellringers.  Today we did a categorizing activity which can also be located on the absentee bulletin board.  We started a new set of bellringers and did a primary source newspaper reading.  Your test on chapter 3 is TOMORROW. Some of you still have not paid your Stock Market Game fee.  This means you have a "zero" major grade.

We will go to the library on Monday to continue working on the project.
