Grimes students stay in the game as CTE Stock Market Challenge heads into final week

Sixth-graders in Tameka Cooper’s class at Grimes School were still researching, debating and buying stocks Friday as the Mount Vernon City School District’s CTE Stock Market Challenge entered its final stretch. Though Grimes was not among the top three schools on the latest leaderboard, Ms. Cooper cheered her students on, reminding them that with one week left in the three-month competition, a late rally is still possible for a chance at a trophy, bragging rights and a pizza party.

Grimes School sixth grade students have been diving deep into research, with projects recently completed for a Lunar New Year Learning Showcase and New York State’s Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. online showcase. For their Lunar New Year projects, sixth graders learned to use primary sources, databases, and how to paraphrase and cite sources. Students that successfully completed their projects and met the criteria on the rubric then presented to 2nd-4th graders and later participated in a catered Chinese lunch.
