Reflection
I really enjoyed my trip to San Francisco. We were there for 4 days and 3 nights. I went with my Mom, my Dad, and my sister. We had a lot of fun there together.
My favorite part of the trip was the San Francisco Giants game against the San Diego Padres. The Giants are a baseball team that play at AT&T Park. My favorite sport is baseball, so I really enjoyed the game. The Giants were trying to defend their world series title. I was hoping they would win because they are my third favorite team behind the Toronto Blue Jays, and my favorite team, the New York Mets.
There were a lot of Padres fans at the game. San Diego, where the Padres play, is not that far from San Francisco so the Giants didn’t have a lot of home field advantage.
During the game I helped my sister try to understand the rules of baseball. I told her what happened and what everything meant. We all had a lot of fun at the game, even though the Giants lost.
I also really liked the food in the city. They had a lot of good seafood and food from other countries. We went to a restaurant called the Slanted Door that had the best Vietnamese food I had ever had. Ghirardelli Square, which is the original Ghirardelli factory, had a lot of Ghirardelli chocolate, which is extremely good. I really liked that there was so many different types of food. We also went to an Asian restaurant and a good burger place. I don’t normally eat Vietnamese food, or Asian food so it was a nice change.
The Trolley was a train that went in the middle of the street. It runs on wires that go above the roads. It was really cool! We got on it at our hotel and took it up a steep hill near Union Square. My Mom said it was in an old famous movie. I was excited because the trolleys are very old and they are an outdoor subway, but with no windows or doors. I wanted to hang on the edge of the trolley but we didn’t get a chance. We took it to Lombard Street. That’s how we found out that it was really crooked. I learned it was the most crooked street in the world. I thought that was an interesting fact.
Overall, I thought San Francisco was awesome! Everything there was interesting and it was all a lot of fun. I liked it there a lot and would definitely go there again.

My Invention
I invented a virtual reality baseball helmet. It looks like a space helmet, just without the visor.
It solves the problem of practicing baseball in winter. Usually it’s too cold in the winter to play, but with this you can play whenever.
It’s going to be a way to play baseball when you’re tired our it’s too cold outside.
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
