S.S. Chronological Sorting

1 Reply

During social studies we had some index cards. Each card had something from a different part of history, and we had to sort them into chronological order. My group didn’t have much trouble sorting the cards. We had an argument about if the first land animals were on land before there was seasons. Stella would switch back and forth between ideas and me and Margaret were always on different sides. We had to check our notes to figure it out. Everything else we agreed on. I learned that there were seasons before there was land animals. Most of the other things I already knew.

My Atom

3 Replies

I remember during science we watched the History of The World in Two Hours. We looked closely at the atoms. They were showing hydrogen atoms so I thought that I would get the best atom if I made a hydrogen atom. I found it challenging to make the blue rings inside the bubble. I had to make it three times before I got a good one. I enjoyed the whole part of making the atom because I found it really fun that we got to using computers to make an atom, because it looks a lot cooler then if I drew it .

Math Graphs

I noticed that only the graphs in section B all look the same. There’s only one graph in A and each graph is different in C. I had a graph that didn’t look like any of the options on the board. We had a graph that was supposed in section B but there was only a 4 second stop at halfway which was confusing, because there was supposed to be a 6 second stop at halfway. I would put the graph in C next to the graph above the book in A because A graphs sort of goes up steeply and that’s what it looks like.

I think all of the graphs should start in the corner, or the graphs will look like the person started at five meters, not zero. None of the questions state that the graph should start at five meters or any other number besides zero. All of the dots should be connected because you teleport every meter, there’s something going on in between dots.

My Idea for the Homework Planner

My idea for the homework planner was my groups idea in D-Lab. We thought for the cover you could draw whatever you wanted, so the cover could be however you wanted it to be. Then on each page it would be a different category. Like on one it would be sports, then food, then you can draw on with other categories like that. We would put photos on the pages depending on the category, so if it was sports that week we would put in pictures like the one below. For the categories we would choose it by the interview post its. Grace, Collete, Meadow and I came up with the idea.

I’m really interested in baseball right now. It’s my favorite sport. I like it because I find it really fun to hit, catch and throw a ball.

I also really enjoy watching baseball. This is me at my first Mets game. I’m a huge Mets fan.

What’s Up

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
