On Thursday all the students in my class period were instructed to wait in the hall and leave our bags in the hallway. I personally had no idea what was about to happen beyond those doors, and I got really excited for it.  Mr. Kapptie told us that it would be a different type of atmosphere in the room and to pick up as much as we could. his hint was to go for things we thought to be most valuable. after his said those words I was trying to put all the pieces together to figure out exactly what this man was about to push us into. in the middle of my thoughts the door was pushed open as all the students went rushing in from each side of the room. it seemed that we were all very determined to get in the room and start what we needed to start, not even knowing what we were supposed to do. As I stepped in the room I looked straight to the floor and there was candy and pieces of paper covering the floor, the room was dark, it was loud due to the two projectors playing two different things on the wall, and everybody was fighting for the items on the floor. The first thing I picked up was a fake 50 dollar bill and I figured sense he said to go for the most valuable items that I would want to money not the cheap candy.
I found out later that the candy would actually have good value and be worth getting. I had small pile of candy and a good handful of cash. Once everything was taken from the floor I found my self a spot on the counter to place my pile. Mr. Kapptie then told us to trade or keep, to gather whatever you thought was the best trades you could make ( like stocks ). As the values of each candy would go up and down we had to make decisions to which would be the best investments. By the end of the period I felt like I wasn't doing vey well because I didn't have the biggest pile, I had a small amount of cash and other student had large piles of candy. I turned out to have a good amount of food because I made good trade. it didn't matter the amount of stuff I had because the values of what I had was pretty high and added up.
This day was really fun and a good learning experience on how to invest and an idea on how to do stocks.
