We were finally able to make stock purchase so EVERYONE is in the game. By mid day Friday all teams will be ranked. The children should continue to research the stocks that were purchased to keep up on whether or not they are making money. The teams may decide to sell some or all of their under performing stocks. Also, students can research new stocks to recommend to their teams.
The students were given time in the computer lab yesterday to continue their search at asknature.org to find up to 20 animals / plants that would be included in his team's Super Human. Next week the teams will be meeting to decide on the final "pieces" of their SuperHumans. This is always an interesting process in give and take.
My biggest concern with the class this week was their social interaction during class time. Almost the second I pause, or begin to pass out paper, the students are talking. I spent a great deal of class time settling the students back into our work. Please ask your child how their behavior is impacting our class.
So... Homework this week:
Track purchased stocks
Research new stocks to purchase
Research more "parts" for your SuperHuman
Complete pages 16 and 17 of the math packet related to our stock market game.
