Population Problem
Dora and I worked together and we figured out what we would go down by. We went down by 5 millions. Ana told us that at 8 million years ago how many people in the world at that time is 5 million people so I added 8 million and 5 million into my graph. I am not so sure about my graph if it is correct or not. I thought that the world would be not so popular with humans because they weren’t really making more humans. My graph is curved and the world war 1 and 2 is near 0, I added a big drop near 0.

Humanities Cards
In Humanities we watched The History Of The World Video and we learned about the history of the world. One day we wrote down a fact from our learning log and copied it on the notecard. We got in groups and put the cards in order from the begging of the world. Not all facts were included but we still put it in order. For example on one of the cards was when the supernovas started and also the permian extinction. This picture is of us sorting the cards into order. For example the first card for my group was when the sun created, you do not get every single card but you still have to put the cards in order to what you think. We checked in our learning log’s to help us. After we finished we switched tables and checked each others cards. Some of the cards were the ages for example, the fire age, stone age and ice age. We stopped watching The History Of World In Two Hours around The ice age.

Atom Tinkercab
I started off with a ball. But then I wasn’t sure if a real atom was just a ball. So I thought maybe it has rings around it. I put one ring around it but thought it should have more rings. I kept on adding more. Since atoms are everything maybe I thought it could be clear but everything is not clear. But I am not dyed and I didn’t know if I should add all of the colors. I thought that maybe there are balls on the rings.

A B C Problem
A: I got the paper in A. Dora and I looked at our paper and knew that it was in A right away because it shows how it runs a little and stops and then runs a little then stop and walk to the end.
In between A and B there is a sheet of paper. I don’t get it. It does not fit into A B or C. I really do not get it because it just goes straight. None of A B or C say to just walk. So that sheet of paper can not fit into any of the groups.
B: All of the B’s look different. One of them doesn’t start on the 1st meter. They all wait for 6 seconds some of the 6 seconds are high up and some are really low and some are in the middle but everyone thinks that theirs are correct.
C: All of them have curves but same as B the curves are in different places. They are also in different shapes.
All of them look different but I am not sure yet which one is correct or maybe they are all correct.

Group Planner
In our group we wanted the cover to have everything. Everyone likes different things so we wanted people to draw on the cover. We also wanted to have themes on each page so everyone likes it. For example one of the themes would be a rilakkuma page, or sports page. And we would change the themes to what we think everyone likes.

Ashokan Trip
I liked the Ashokan Trip more than the 4th Grade Farm Trip. I think I like the Ashokan Trip and the 3rd grade farm trip the same. I really liked the food at the Ashokan Trip than the 3rd the and 4th farm trips. The Ashokan Trip is way bigger than the 4th grade farm trip, and the 3rd grade farm trip was smaller than the 4th grade farm trip. Each of the trips were different. I liked the hikes at the Ashokan Trip but I think they might be too long for me. I had fun at the Ashokan Trip!

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.”
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
