Testing post

Do you like testing? Cause this year at J. H. House the students here had to take the CRCT Test and some of them said it was hard because some of the questions in the test were some of them they hadn't even studied. I would like to interview some of these students but I would do it if Mrs. Davis lets me. I would like to listened to the  different opinions that the students have in mind. What do you think about testing?

Revised Tip

This was my previous tip that I made and now I'm going to pump it up.   
                               
Juan -  My last writing tip is to have your own personal voice. Express your personality and have a conversation with an authur and try not to make your story so  boring that no one will like to read it. When I mean your own personal voice I mean showing expression on your writing and honoring your punctuation ,meaning to slow down on your writing. Don't let anyone judge you about your writing and be proud of what you wrote about.

This is my revised version,

My last writing tip is to have your own personal voice. Express your personality and have a conversation with an authur and to try not to make the story you wrote boring so that no one will ever read your writing. When I'm talking about your personal voice I mean showing expression in your writing and don't forget to honor your punctuation, meaning to slow down and to stop and rest in your punctuation. Don't let nobody make fun or judge your writing. Be proud of what you  write about and the only one who can be proud of it is you.      

Amazing Mars

Have you heard about the amazing Mars project?  Well if you haven't you're in luck. I read a story in a magazine called Time For Kids.     I was reading a story like I said and then something immediately caught my attention. It was a story about the rovers that are still in Mars. They have found some intriguing facts. There is  some microscopic dots that are from minerals of water and a crater that has been shaped by flood waters. A few weeks after they landed on mars they started working. Both of the rovers dug holes in the soil and in rocks sending data back to Earth about there findings. Lets hope that we will find information about the The RED PLANET.     My story had organization because it tells you what happened in order  and what the rovers are doing.

Three Good Tips

          One of the writing tips I learned so far in my class is my handwriting. In my class my teacher Ms. Mahan told me to improve in my handwriting and if I were to take a test and my handwriting was messy I would get some of the answers wrong. I would have been embarrassed and feel miserable.   Another writing tip is your punctuation. I always forgot which punctuation to use in my writing and never understood the meaning of the punctuation. Each punctuation is different and each has a different meaning.   My last writing tip is to have your own personal voice. Express your personality and have a conversation with an authur and try not to make your story so  boring that no one will like to read it. When I mean your own personal voice I mean showing expression on your writing and honoring your punctuation meaning to slow down on your writing. Don't let anyone judge you about your writing and be proud of what you wrote about.      

Using Algebra

What a great lesson plan by Victoria Pavlopoulos!

Project Name: Using Algebra to Prevent Forest Fires
Description of Learning Goals and Standards: Introducing the students to summation notation, the difference between humidity and temperature and how to find the humidity and temperature. Reviewing intercepts and slopes and applying them to real-life situations. Applying this information to determine how to prevent forest fires.
QCC Standard: Identifies the slope and intercepts of a linear equation.
QCC Standard: Solves problems that link concepts to one another and to practical applications using tools such as scientific or graphing calculators, computers, and manipulatives.
QCC Standard: Solve problems throughout this course that involve:selecting appropriate approaches and tools, using estimating strategies to predict computational results, and judging reasonableness of results

Thias was a great a post because it said it could help prevent fire and how to stop from making a fire.

Dear teacher-to-be

Dear training to be teacher.

My name in Juan and I'm in Mrs. Davis' weblog group. If you would like to be a teacher you should show respect  and give your students permission to speak freely. For example if  your student is left behind or in other words doesn't understand take a risk and help him or her understand. Help your students learn by giving examples and rewarding it so that it makes sense. 

I had a teacher once that taught me  better sportsman ship, like if I  had a game that was really impoprtant to me  and if the other team won I would just congratulate the other team.

Another example is Mrs. Davis picked three boys to do BLOOM'S TAXONOMY. Jhonathan, Juan,and Marcos got to act a skit as if we were in a sports game.It is called keep calm at all sports events [Knowledge, Comprehension,Application,Analysis,Synthesis,and Evaluation.] We got to act crazy and them calm and can remember about Blooms' and good thinking.

Would you like to be one of these teachers?
