Seventh and eighth graders participating in the Stock Market Game have begun trading and focusing on diversifying their portfolios with stocks, bonds, and mutual funds. Sixth graders will start the Stock Market Game in the Spring.
Sixth graders' Social Emotion Gifted Lesson (SEL) focused on not just being gifted but recognizing their strengths, interests, and both positive and negative about being gifted.
Seventh graders' SEL focused on understanding what Gifted Is and what Gifted Means by thinking about what Gifted is from multiple perspectives.
