Let’s talk about tension! 🌀⚖️ Our physics students spent the morning diving into Hooke’s Law to see how much stretch a spring can handle.
By adding weights and measuring the change in length , we were able to calculate the unique spring constant for our equipment. It turns out physics is the "force" that holds everything together! 📈

Analyzing a Paystub in Financial Math: Understanding Gross Pay, Deductions, and Net Income
In Mr. Ng and Ms. Goldstein’s Financial Math class, the class worked in small groups to analyze sample pay stubs using real-world financial data. Students collaborated to identify key components of the paystub, including gross pay, net pay, mandatory deductions such as taxes, and voluntary deductions like retirement contributions or benefits.
As they worked, students calculated the percentage of income allocated to each deduction category and discussed how different deductions impact take-home pay. Groups explained their reasoning to one another, checked calculations for accuracy, and connected percentage concepts to real-life financial decision-making.
This activity strengthened students’ financial literacy while reinforcing skills in percentages, problem solving, and mathematical reasoning. By working collaboratively, students practiced communication, accountability, and teamwork while gaining a deeper understanding of how earnings and deductions function in everyday life.

Yoga is like a mini adventure for your body and mind! It helps you stretch, strengthens your body, and helps you find your balance while also giving your brain a chance to relax and rest. It's calming breaths, being able to focus, and helping reduce stress through different activities. Best of all, you will feel good while also connecting with other students. If Yoga it's for you, please join our club on Wednesday, in room 743, from 4pm-5pm.
