There recently has been a question that has been asked, “Should theUS continue to celebrate Columbus day?”. Well I personally don't think Columbus day should be celebrated and I don't think that Columbus should be taking someone else's discovery and having a day made for him and yet the other man didn't get any credit. Christopher wasn't even the first to reach America, people where living there before he had arrived. I have many reasons to decide why we shouldn't continue to celebrate Columbus day.

Christopher Columbus enslaved the natives and forced them to work and labor in his plantations and all the profit went to the Europeans. Christopher took many of the diseases he gained in America and took them back to Europe and the Europeans didn't have cures or any idea how to save people from these diseases. We are celebrating a man who failed to discover Asia and appeared in America, but we are basically celebrating a failure.

The holiday includes many pro's and con's about why its good to celebrate this holiday. Most of the stores and restaurants stay open having specials and sales which would increase profit. The schools close for the day, which means kids, and teachers can sleep in for a day. So I think that's why we shouldn't continue to celebrate Columbus Day.

In my math class I picked three stock market stocks. I chose Dollar Tree, Aeropostal, Eastman Kodak. Some of the reasons I chose Dollar Tree are because its a fun store to go to, the store is popular, and its a cheap store. I chose Eastman Kodak because it was popular in selling, and they have nice products. I lastly chose Aeropostal because I like the clothing line, they have cute clothes, and its very popular for teens and some adults.
I would have liked to change some things in my stocks and my shares. For Aeropostal I would have liked to change how many shares I bought I wish I had bought less stocks and maybe not even investing in this stock because I kept losing money. Some things about Dollar Tree I would have changed were the amount or shares I bought. It was one of my winning stocks but it wasn't my best investor. For my last stock Eastman Kodak, I wish I had spent more money on the shares because it was my major winner the whole time.
Here are some interesting facts and advice for people who might or are going to invest in the stock market. Before you get right into just choosing some of your favorite stores, do some research! People should research about some stocks they are thinking about investing in, look at the past history. If it keeps going up high then down low then I wouldn't invest in it, but if it it high and only drops a little bit then maybe that's your next stocks. Another idea is to ask past or current investors, they could help you get started by choosing winners and/or the amount of shares you want to buy.

On Earth Day every year there is something called Earthcast. This year we got to participate in Earthcast10. Each class in our grade had 15 minutes to talk about Earth Day and explain different activities that you can do to help. There was one day when from 8-9 you would shut off all the lights in your house and that would help save energy for the whole U.S plus more people.

In one of my classes we were given a project to read a mideavil time book. Mine was called The Squires Tale. I read it way before the deadline which gave me lots of time to work on my project. The horse represents my characters horse. The sword represents the fighting. The grass and the stick represent the forest and the feilds they run threw. The metal means the armor sir gawain wore, and the heart was for the love and romance in the story.

This is a wordle on a graph someone made in my grade. It lists the birth months of the students and the largest word is the most popular. This graph includes students from my school as well as a Belize school.

In math class we started choosing stocks and we have been watching them for over 15 weeks now and some are up. If they are in the red they are losing money if they are just black they are gaining money which would be good.
