~STUDENT STORE UPDATES~
                  The student store is ready to be opened, we are planning on opening it today. We made posters and hung them around the school. Patty went to Smart & Final and on Tuesday she gave us all of the merchandise. This week we pretty much calculated how much we want to sell each item and how much profit we will get. Also, we made an inventory sheet so we can be able to keep track of how much merchandise we have and which items are the most popular. The inventory sheets help us know how much money we have earned that day. Another thing we did this week was clean up the fridge Mr. K gave us and made sure the wooden cabinet/student store looked nice and presentable. Also, I did two of my Civics standards and turned them in to Mrs. Cervantes.

~UPDATES~
               Right now we are planning on opening the student store by Friday, November 21 after school. Currently, we are working on making posters to let the students know when the student store will be open and what time it will be open. Also, we have made a list of snacks we want to sell at the student store. We gave the list to Patty so she can buy the snacks at Smart & Final. Now we have to decide how much we are going to sell each item. Hopefully, everything works out as planned and we open the student store by Friday.

~STUDENT STORE UPDATES~
            Right now we are working on getting donations for the student store snacks. Mr. K told us that we are allowed to sell the snacks of our choosing as long as it is 30 minutes after school. We have started the donation request to Smart & Final. We have not finished it so we will continue to work on it. Also, we looked online for DIY silkscreens and have decided we are going to try to make our own silkscreen. We will need to buy nylons, frame, mosh glue, index cards, and ink paint to make the build the silkscreen. If the DIY silkscreen doesn't work out we can look for foundations that can donate money to buy a silkscreen.

~UPDATES~
         This week we weren't really able to paint all of the wooden cabinet/student store because we are on minimum day schedule, so the classes are really short. We tried to contact Jeannie so we can talk about the food we can sell for the student store, but we weren't able to get a hold of her. Julisa and I have decided that it would be a good idea to get a silkscreen and sell different t-shirts. When, Julisa went to Fresno State to talk about the project, one of the ladies said she might be able to donate so we can get a silkscreen, since that is her business. We still need to call her and see if she would be able to donate. If not there's another option, which is we can build a silkscreen ourselves. Next week, we are planning on contacting Jeannie again and also contacting the student from Fresno State who can help us with the silkscreen.

~STUDENT STORE UPDATES~
           This week we called other schools to ask about the food they are able to sell in their student stores and snack bars. Many of the people we called were very helpful and gave us websites we can go to that will provide snacks that schools are allowed to sell. Also, we finished painting the student store outline and borders. Next week we have to finish painting the inside of the student store and we also have to look up the chalk paint. Chalk paint is paint that you are able to write on, so we can write the prices of snacks on the board.

~STUDENT STORE UPDATES~
             Currently, we are painting the wooden cabinet/student store. This week we painted the outlines of the cabinet in blue. Also, we met up with Jeannie to talk about the snacks we can sell during school hours. She said she still has to do more research about what snacks we can sell during school and after school, that don't contain too much sugar or sodium. We will probably meet up next week to talk more about it. Also, she said she can order the snacks for us. We didn't get donations this week because we didn't know if the fundraising request form was approved. We called Judy and she said it had been approved, so next week we are planning on getting donations for the snacks. Also, we are planning on having the wooden cabinet/student store all painted by next week.

~CIVICS STANDARDS~

~UPDATES~
               We have been working on the student store cabinet. We started painting the cabinet outline and we will continue to work on it. Also, we made copies of the surveys for the students to choose which snacks they like the best. The teachers passed them out and gave us the completed surveys. We tallied up the results, so now we know which snacks the students prefer.  We still need to work on getting donations for the student store and also we have to work on painting the rest of the wooden cabinet.
               We haven't received the list of food we can sell during school, so we are still waiting on that. Also, we haven't been told rather or not the fundraising request form was approved, so we are waiting on that. Next week we will try to have the wooden cabinet/student store all painted.

~ENGLISH STANDARDS~

(W) 1a. Write arguments to support claims in an analysis of substantive topics or texts, using valid   reasoning and relevant and sufficient evidence.
 A. Introduce precise, knowledgeable claim(s), establish the significance of  the claim(s),      distinguish the claim(s) from alternate or opposing claims, and create an organization that logically    sequences claim(s), counter-claims, reasons, and evidence.

                    This week we had to work on our student store proposal. We had to make it persuasive and informative. The proposal had to inform the reader why we want to have a student store on campus. We had to support our claim by talking about how students are thirsty or hungry after school, so the student store would be very helpful. Especially to those who are in sports and don't have the time to walk to the store just to buy a drink. The proposal had to be organized and easy to understand. We used valid information to calculate the budget for the cost of the snacks. Overall, the proposal had to be informative and precise.
