3.16 // 8th Grade Confirmation
The 6th grade class is learning about Mesopotamia in Art with Mr. O. They were the first people to create a written language. In order to sign their documents they created a cylindrical seal. The Mesopotamians would roll that seal across documents as a way to sign their name. Students are learning the importance of their signature as a form of identification. This week students started a new unit in gym, floor hockey! Students worked on different drills such as passing, receiving, shooting, and stick handling. Students were able to gain control of the puck during these exercises. Excellent job! The 8th graders continued to update their stock portfolio this week when we inviters Mark from Charles Schwab back into the classroom. We took a look at our stocks: Visa, Home Depot, Microsoft, and Starbucks and decided to keep them all instead of trading. Then Mark talked to us a little bit about compound interest and how that can increase our return quicker than normal interest. We will check back next month, to see if keeping our stocks has paid off! We waltzed through another week of dancing with class? Ms. Susanna had the 6th graders holding a strong frame and moving around the gym. That means we now have 2 dances under our belt, the merengue and waltz. With 6 more weeks of classes, they have a lot of time to practice before their big competition. In the mean time, here’s a look into our practice. Looking Ahead...
