Hi Everyone,
I hope everyone can make the best of this time off. Please check the main Assabet Webpage for course enrichment assignments.
I started to write a letter, but since I'm more of a numbers guy I'll let you read the letter below posted by recently nominated national teacher of the year.
Here’s the open letter:
"Dear High School Senior,
On Friday afternoon a few seniors came into my classroom after the last bell rang. They were concerned about prom and their senior trip. It broke my teacher heart to listen. As you’re reading this, you most likely have similar concerns.
This is supposed to be your year. The year for your senior prom, sporting events, cheer competitions, senior trips, clubs, and the rest of what senior year has to offer. You were supposed to be the captain of that team, the officer of that club, or that student who wanted to be with their friends one last year before venturing into the unknown. This was THE year that your entire schooling was building up to. But it was robbed from you because of this global pandemic.
Let’s be abundantly clear – you were robbed, and it’s unfair. If you’re upset, then you should embrace those feelings. Commiserate with one another. Some folks will downplay the situation because they won’t know what it feels like to have their senior year stripped at the last moment.
I, for one, will not downplay it as it happened to me. Hurricane Katrina devastated my community when I was a high school senior. I remember leaving my school on a Friday afternoon with my buddies only to never return to that school. I was supposed to be the captain of my soccer team, go to prom with my longtime crush, and finish the year with my lifelong friends. But it was all canceled. Instead, I stayed in a shelter and finished my high school in a different state. It was tough, and I had to find solace in places I never envisioned. It was hard, but we made it through. And I’m reliving that pain as I think of your disruption to your senior year.
Most do not need to experience Katrina to know that this is tough on you. Those of us who work in schools do so because we care above all else. That caring does not stop once you leave those school walls. In situations like these, we worry more about you. There is a lot of uncertainty, but rest assured, districts across the nation are working in creative ways, from potentially abbreviated school years to organizing social events when this subsides, to make this situation the best they possibly can for you. Some educators are working endlessly to transfer to virtual learning and accompany those without the internet. Administrators are working to get those meals together for those who need them. We are all in crisis mode but know that we are all doing everything we can to help during this tumultuous time. You are not forgotten. We are thinking about you. We are here for you. We care.
There’s nothing I, or anyone, can say to make up for that time you are losing in what is supposed to be one of the best years of your life.
But I can offer some encouragement. Right now, you have the power to make the most out of this unfortunate situation. If a decade of teaching has taught me anything, it’s that people your age are resilient and innovative.
Your generation can navigate multiple worlds and bounce between physical and digital spaces with ease. You are part of the most racially and ethnically diverse generation, and you embrace those differences in ways adults seem to struggle. You courageously put yourselves out there for the world to see and criticize. You push boundaries and challenge norms. You find ingenious ways to compensate for any gaps you may have accrued without the help of educators, whether it’s through Khan Academy or a sibling. It’s a small wonder why “post-Millennials are on track to become the most well-educated generation yet.”
I can also offer some advice. Help one another and your family. They need you. Do your grandparents or your eldery neighbors need groceries? Offer support. Some teachers may even need your help as many try to transition to online learning. We need you. Utilize your tech savvy ways to bring yourselves closer together. Practice “social distancing,” or physical distancing, but stay as social as ever. FaceTime. Text. Tweet. Snapchat. Make Tik Tok videos (I don’t know if that’s still a thing so don’t laugh if I’m already out of date). Use these platforms to connect and uplift.
Binge Netflix and Disney+. Make memes. Exercise. Read books – maybe even those boring ones your English teachers were stoked for you to read. Or just read manga. Read something! Reach out to those friends you know don’t have internet access. Call and check up on ‘em. Listen to podcasts. Make a podcast. Start a hobby. Journal for posterity. You’re living through history. Your bold reaction to this is going to make history.
Lastly, I can offer some support. You may not know me, but I feel your pain; it stings. We as educators mourn with you. Again, you are not forgotten. We see your hard work. We value your unique perspectives. We hear your audacious voices. We cherish all of it, and we will continue to do so even from afar.
I am sad for you; truly, I am. I feel deeply for you; truly, I do. It makes my heart hurt as I write. But if there is any group that can plow through this in creative ways, it is your group. There is no pandemic strong enough to silence you or dent the passion of your generation. Keep your head up and keep fighting. Our country needs you because you provide hope for our future. This year may not be what you envisioned, but I’m eager to see what you do with it.
After all, it is still very much your year.
Stay healthy,
Chris Dier, a high school teacher "

Name ___________________________
Fenway Park Field Trip Lottery Entry Form
Criteria #1 - You must be a current Statistics student
Criteria #2 - You must be available to take a field trip on Tuesday, January 23rd and you must be willing to spend $15 for a tour of Fenway Park and be willing to provide your own lunch
Criteria #3 - You must provide thoughtful answers for each of the questions below and you must hand this form into Mr. Dumphy at the beginning of class on Thursday, December 21st.
Criteria #4 - You must be randomly selected, among entrants, as 1 of the 20 students to join the Fenway Park field trip. The lottery will take place at 2:30 pm on Thursday, December 21st.
And now for the questions….
Why do you want to go on this field trip?
Write 3 questions that you would like to ask Zack Scott (the Vice President of Baseball Research and Development for the Boston Red Sox)
What are the 3 things that you have found most interesting in your statistics class this year?
While many sports fans are glued to their TVs for March Madness action, Wall Street's focus continues to be on the impact of the Fed's interest rate hike last week. Three companies your students may want to keep an eye on include Disney, Apple, and FedEX. With its release of Beauty and the Beast this past weekend, Disney continues to draw attention after its blockbuster opening. Apple also hit its all-time high today of $141.34, while FedEx reports its 2017 fiscal third quarter financial results on Tuesday. The company will share news about its recently-acquired TNT Express and many analysts feel trading could reach could push its price to a record high as well.
For many new to investing and The Stock Market Game, quarterly earnings may be unfamiliar. At the most basic level, a quarterly earnings report is similar to a student's report card except it's for publicly traded companies. These reports, usually filed in January, April, July, and October, let shareholders know how well the company has performed over the past three months. It is important to note that not all companies report during earnings season because the exact date of an earnings release depends on when the given company's quarter ends. As such, it is not uncommon to find companies reporting earnings between earnings seasons.
Included in most quarterly reports are net income, earnings per share, earnings from continuing operations, and net sales. Most often, the key metrics - net income and earnings per share, are compared to the previous year's numbers. Analysts and investors then gauge the financial health of the company and whether or not to invest. Expect to see a lot of movement in the shares of companies releasing their earnings reports as the market reacts to the new data. It is not unheard of to see shares jump 20% or more or to see them fall by this same amount. One question you may want to pose to your students is whether or not they feel a quarterly earnings report will accurately predict the company's future.
Students will be participating in the Stock Market Game From 2/6 to 4/4
*Each team member has a a job (Captain, Recorder, or Researcher) which rotate each academic week.
Start a google to Journal your discussions which will be shared at end of the week
And don't forget - in order to fully participate in the Stock Market Game program, student teams need to enter at least one trade to activate their portfolios.
Trading is easy and is just FIVE CLICKS away!
Here`s how to get your students started:
1. Go to www.stockmarketgame.org.
2. CLICK 1: ``Log In." Have students enter their team's username and password (both are case sensitive)
3. CLICK 2: ``Enter A Trade." It is along the top of the portfolio under Trading.
