Financial Literacy Through Creativity
In Ms. Goldstein’s and Mr. Ng’s Financial Math class, students began the lesson by reading an article focused on financial literacy. They then participated in a gallery walk of posters from past classes to build background knowledge, spark ideas, and become familiar with key concepts and vocabulary. After an introductory lesson on financial literacy, students were challenged to reflect on what financial literacy means to them.
Working in groups of four to five, students collaborated to design original posters that combined academic content with creativity. They used their art skills to represent ideas such as budgeting, saving, investing, and planning for the future, while actively using new financial vocabulary in meaningful ways. Throughout the process, students engaged in discussion, shared responsibilities, and supported one another’s thinking.
This hands-on, collaborative activity helped make financial literacy relevant and engaging for seniors. By blending creativity with real-world content, students strengthened their understanding of essential life skills that will help prepare them for independence and success beyond high school.

Physics is a hair-raising experience! ⚡️
Our physics students have been getting "hands-on" with the invisible forces of the universe this week. We’ve been exploring the shocking world of Static Electricity through two key methods: Conduction and Induction.
The Classic Balloon Trick: Using friction to transfer electrons, leaving us with some gravity-defying hairstyles! 🎈💇♂️
The Electroscope Test: Students used metal leaf electroscopes to see how charges can move without even touching (Induction) vs. direct contact (Conduction). 🔍⚡️
