On Friday, in social studies, we were given a pile of index cards. They had events from The History Of The World In 2 hours written on them and we were told to put them in chronologic order. My group knew approximately around what time most of the cards were but we couldn’t figure out which came first specifically. We learned that bony fish came before the Permian Extinction because they would have to if they were gong to evolve into land animals and then die out to make room for us. (Some people were unclear on that subject.) Here is a photo of what we did.
Today in science class we designed atoms. (Or what we thought were atoms.) I did this because all of the different with cells in the atoms. Also, it is colored black because I would have thought it would be clear.
Today in math class we did a graphing activity. Here are some things I noticed:
One of the graphs goes straight up. That is impossible because none of the stories were, “Walk all the way.”
Two of the graphs didn’t start at the bottom of the graph. That wouldn’t work because you can’t skip to the fifth meter.
One didn’t have lines in between the dot. This time the dots should be connected because you are taking steps in each meter and not teleporting from one to the next.
Thank you for reading my post.
My idea for the planners are that it is in a binder and we put the word cloud on the cover. We should have a tab sticking out on the top to represent each month. Inside that we can have tabs for each day. That will get rid of trying to find the date. We should also have a picture for each subject. For example science could be a test tube or something related to the subject. Finally, we should have it be in more colors than just boring black and white. We are not dull kids. Why should our planners be dull?
The person I admire most in the world is Audrey Hepburn. She was an actress who was most famous in 1950-60. When Audrey was 10, her family moved to Holland because of World War II. After the war she moved to England with her mother. In less than ten years, she became one of the most well known actresses. The movie she is most famous for is called Breakfast at Tiffany’s. After she retired, she decided to help a company called UNICEF. The reason I admire her is because, not only she was an amazing actress, but she also did lot’s of good in the world.

Hi, my name is Zoe. I’m 11 years old and I love books. See you later, alligator.
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.”
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
