The Stock Market

In April, my 6th grade Language Arts class had a challenge. But not a challenge you would think of, something different. A stock market challenge! As soon as I heard this my mind started rushing with ideas! We added a spreadsheet to see how much money we made. My class updated it every week. We also had $20,000 dollars to spend on stocks. After a month of investing, I made $2,564.26 dollars! That meant I won my class and got a prize. I was very happy on how this paid off and it was very fun.

My Ted-Talk

Recently my 6th grade Language arts was tasked with making a Ted like Talk, the first thing that came to mind was RC planes. I was already really passionate about this topic and was super exited to share. It took me about two weeks to make the script and the presentation. As soon as I finished, I had to think of props! Seen in the image above I brought my RC plane as well as the remote and battery. On the day of presenting I was super nervous, but one deep breath calmed me instantly. I was the very happy when I was presenting and got lots of compliments from my peers! Overall, the presentation was very fun.
