The sports group had a lot of fun. Me personally, had an amazing time. I loved rock climbing and it was a lot easier
than I predicted. I loved jumping off the wall in my harness.![tumblr_np4bdnTdLy1steslro1_1280](https://blog.lrei.org/22meadowmportfolio/files/2015/05/tumblr_np4bdnTdLy1steslro1_1280-18mzrkx-300x225.jpg)
Before we even got started we had a test. We had to count all the “f'”s that we could find in a paragraph. I guessed 24 because that’s how many I counted. I found out later that it was 34. After that I still couldn’t find them. Then we tested team work by all standing on a piece of fabric and we had to turn it inside out without touching the ground and we all started on the fabric.
It was really hard, but we mastered it and turned it over. I think my favorite moment was the course because. It was a challenge that ended up being a lot of fun.IMG_7736
I ended up finding out how to control my center of gravity on the trampolines over a lot of practice. I failed a lot, but I had a lot of fun.
The Egyptian tomb was a lot of fun. Zoe was sick so I got to take Zoe on facetime around the tour.

We made books in spanish of the alphabet with animal pictures. We did not do all the animals in the world.

In class we wrote down moments in history on note cards then we put them in chronological order. My group came over to a different group and found that they put grasslands after brains grow and thats not right because our brains developed after our chimpanzee ancestors came down from the trees. Our cards got mixed a lot when another group came over. It turns out that they were wrong about the oceans turning blue before the first piece of bacteria grew so my group was right. I think that my group did a great job.

I think an atom looks like this because I feel like I have seen a picture of this some where were there is a sphere and rings circling it. I have seen many films about atoms and most of them are different from each other. I have seen some many different types of atoms.
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](https://blog.lrei.org/22meadowmportfolio/files/2013/07/Blog-1fz6nnj.jpg)
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.
![title](https://blog.lrei.org/22meadowmportfolio/files/2013/07/title-17mt4x2.jpg)
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
