Here is the link to one of the mandarin sets that we have been using this year to study:
This is the link to the other Quizlet set:
Another thing that we did in class was that we made a dialogue andd memorized it. this is me and Wyatts:
Wyatt- 你是哪国人？
Gus- 我是爱尔兰人。你也是美国人
Wyatt- 不是，我是匈牙利人。
Gus – 你会说中文吗?
Wyatt – 对，我会说一点中文，也会说英文。
Gus – 和我一样
While I was at the beach, I learned how to sail. We sailed 420s out into the Long Island Sound. 420s are very small boats; they take two people to sail them. I worked the jib and balanced the boat.
We sailed in the Long Island Sound around Fishers Island, near Flat Hammock (a sand bar) and The Dumplings.
Fishers Island is a place where I feel at home and calm because there is not the feeling of everybody being rushed, there is also not a lot of noise that I am trying to not think about. Some times you hear the ferry and the other boats, but you don’t feel disturbed by that; it is more calming.
One thing I loved about discovery Day Is that we learned but in an active way. One thing that surprised me was how high I was able to jump on the trampoline because the last time that I was on a trampoline I didn’t jump as high. One other thing I wonder about the climbing wall is how the automatic belaying machine worked, because it would not let you fall but it was not big.
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:
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
