The 12th grade Economics class has been playing the Stock Market Game using the Internet now for a month and half. The game has been a lot of fun for the students as they have bought and sold stocks with their fake money. Although the market has been rough students have been competing to see who will lose the least amount of money compared to will make the most, which has still been a lot of fun. In class we have been going over the various factors of production and discussing what it takes to become a successful company. Hopefully, these students will be the future business leaders of America and the information and experience they receive now will contribute to that success later on down the road.

This week students are becoming paleontologists in Math, we are challenging ourselves to see if we can figure out multiplication products just by using the “bones” of an array. We will also delve deeper into doing math with money. We will read a great book that makes us think about what it would be like if money really did grow on trees; and helps us calculate how much money we would grow if it did.

This week 4L went ice-skating! A little rain didn’t keep us down. We had a great time at the Pond in Bryant Park. From good skaters to newbies everyone got on the ice and had a wonderful time learning how to skate. Though there were quite a few falls, there were just as many smiles, and even more laughs. I am very proud at my students’ determination to learn how to skate and not give up until they did. We truly had a terrific trip.

This has been a very exciting week for 4L. In Social Studies we became the Iroquois Confederacy. We separated into different tribes (each student playing an important role), made headpieces, and held a council meeting in which they made some difficult decisions and told interesting and entertaining stories. We also celebrated our Thanksgiving feast. I cannot thank our parents enough for all the delicious food they made. We had a wonderful day and ate our full. We are definitely thankful!

Students had fun taking part in the school’s harvest fair. They came dressed up as anything from cowgirls and farmers to scarecrows and turkeys. They enjoyed playing games that were run by older students, doing crafts, and having their faces painted. 4L won for best class costumes in elementary school. We also were triumphant in this seasons godly behavior challenge!

Fourth grade led our elementary school chapel on November 7. We performed skits about how people behave before and after they have God’s love in their heart. We talked about how we receive the fruit of the Spirit. How we need to be more patient and kind with each other- instead of rude, self-seeking, proud, and unforgiving. We ended our chapel by performing a song in sign language about God making a difference in us.
