Greetings 7th Grade Families,

 

This week students will finish their financial literacy unit by participating in the stock market challenge. Students will complete a Nearpod lesson about stocks and the stock market. They will then research different stocks, stock trends, etc. and use $10,000 to purchase stocks. Students will then track their stocks, buy and sell if they choose, and see if they have made or lost money at the end of the challenge. 

 

For their final project of the year, students will research a historical question explaining how some person, event, etc. from an ancient society influenced our world today. They will turn this into a mini presentation that students will share with each other in a "speed-dating" setting. This way students can present and learn about each other's research and findings. 

 

Please email with any questions or concerns.

 

Sincerely,

Mr. Rowan
