This year in the sixth grade, my school is teaching financial literacy through stocks and investments. To start out this project, we learned how to make a spreadsheet for calculating the money that we gain or lose through our stocks. Next, we were able to choose up to six public companies to invest in. We were given 20,000 fake dollars, and not a fake cent over. The person who gains the most money from their stocks in about 3 months is declared the winner and given a prize, which will probably be some candy of sorts. Not only will our class be doing a fun project, but we will be learning how to invest and keep track of our money, a valuable real-life skill. It seems like this project could be in a math class, but it will be a fun change to our usual book annotations, and I am excited to see how well I will do. If you want updates, please tell me down in the comments. I would like some updates too, so please tell me how the other students are doing and how I would fare. That candy is looking very, very tempting.
