HUMANITIES

On Friday we had to put cards that said event from the big bang to now in chronological order (time order). My group was short on cards so it was hard to keep track of. I learned what chronological means. I also learned that we (us humans) are not that big at all in the scale of the universe. I also learned that coal was made by plants over million of years I think I skipped it by accident in my note book.

Last year in science we did a whole section on atoms so I know from brain pop. Also When I was in Third Grade I remember reading “THE SECRET BEING THE BIG BANG”. In generally I like to think of atoms in a cartooned way. So I thought of the atom when we were picturing them like this.

Graph Opservatoins

ADH5-graphs

 

The last one on the bottom (B) starts at five meters and all of the others start at zero. Everybody used different amounts of seconds so the shapes all look different. So there is know way of telling whose right or wrong from just looking at it. The second one down in (A) is not supposed to be a strait progression because there are a lot of stops. The person  who made that graph was a little confused. Anyway that you put that graph it is wrong. You couldn’t put it in any list of graphs what so ever. Also there are no lines in between some of the graphs and the should be because progress is being made. Most of the shapes on graph (B) look the same because the people who decided to do that graph used the same amount of seconds. Though one graph in particular (mine) in (C) is going up in a slightly less curved way then all the others.

The new planners

I think we should have I pads for the planners that way we can just be emailed our home work. Also since you’ll email the home work it is less likely that we don’t write our homework down. Us kids should have a test to see if were responsible. Its a privilege to have a planner that’s a I pad so if we are bad we can just take it away.

Welcome to your digital portfolio!

Welcome to your brand new digital portfolio/blog at blogs.lrei.org!

Your portfolio can be used for many things through out your middle and high school years, including:

  • Documenting and reflecting on your learning, passions, and interests, both in and out of school
  • Curating and highlight work for your Family Conferences
  • In some instances, your teachers will ask you to submit, reflect and comment on work in this portfolio

It is our hope that you also seek to make this a personally relevant learning space in which you curate work that is important and meaningful to you. As you build this learning space, we also hope that you will use it as a way to connect with other learners in the LREI community and beyond.

Your LREI account (Mail, Docs/Drive) credentials will automatically get you into your blog. Here are a few things you’ll want to take a look at:

1. Change the name of your blog. To do this, go back to the Dashboard and click on the “Home” symbol, then on “MS Digital Portfolio Template” under “This Blog.”

Blog

In the field for “Site Title,” add a new title. You can use your first name if you want (e.g., “Mark’s Digital Portfolio”), but don’t use your first and last name. You can also create a title that doesn’t have your name in it. Be as creative as you want, but keep in mind that the title should relate to the purpose of the portfolio.

After you’ve added a new title, click “Save Changes” at the bottom of the page.

 

2. Add a Post

For the most part, you’ll be adding items to your blog as posts. To add a new post, you can click on the +New button in the top bar of your blog, and then select “Post.”

You’ll want to give each post a title, and assign it to a Category. These categories are broken down by class and grade (e.g., fifth grade, core, etc.). This will allow you to organize and sort information so that you can control the look and feel of your blog. If you take a look at the menu bar under the blog title, you see the different groups of categories (e.g., class, grade, teacher, etc.).

When you’re done with your post you can click “Publish” on the side to make the post appear on your blog
