City Connections!

Hi

Last class everyone presented their City Connections. This was a presentation where we needed to talk about a city we've lived in and talk about the history and environmental factors that make that city important. I talked about Aguascalientes in Mexico and i think i did a good job making it and presenting it.

Well I think that my presentation was really good. First of all, I read the information, and then looked for pictures and I wrote the information in my own words. The day I presented I felt really nervous but I tried hard and I could do it. I heard all my comments and opinions and they said that I explained all the information really good and that they learned many things of Aguascalientes. So I think I did well in explaining details.

I think that if I do another presentation like this one, I would know what to do to improve. When I heard the students commenting, I always heard the same thing, and it was that I was talking too fast. When I am nervous, I always try to finish faster that is why I speak faster every second. I think that I need to work with my nerves because that can really affect me in my presentations. I need to relax and concentrate, because then they won’t understand what I am saying.

I heard many presentations of other students and I realized that every place it’s important in its own way. For example, some places had many mountains that make that place really beautiful and other places have many rivers that allow the city to have fertile soil. So I think that every place is important, and not just because you don’t know it, you won’t like it.

I think that I followed all the aspects of the rubric in my presentation, because I talked about environmental factors that helped Aguascalientes. I talked about the history of the city and all about the population and climate. In extra, I added many pictures, a video of beautiful places and pictures of hill and rivers. This means that I added more information and I think it was better like that. It was supposed to be 6 slides and above and I did 13 so I think it was a good job.

I am really happy that I could do a good job and I want to do another one soon because I think that the students can learn many things about different places of the world without going there and that is really helpful.

Bye!

Learning Profiles!

Hi!

In this blog post I am going to talk about my learning profile.
My profile is "OO". This means that I am kinesthetic and I use my hands to express my feelings and learn better.

1. I learn best when there is no sound to distract me. When there is any sound or noise I always turn around to know what is that, and that really distracts me from what I am doing. So I prefer to be in a quiet place where I just have what I need to work. I think that when I am concentrated the noise i really annoying.

2. I need to learn how to how to communicate the details. I learned that sometimes I don't explain really well and it's difficult to others to understand what i am saying. I should try to write more and with more details

3. The strategies that would help me in my learning are to be concentrated and to use my body to learn. For example to make puzzles or games.

4. I would like my teachers to know this about me: I like to use my body to learn so I would like to do dynamics to learn in an easier way.

Thank you

My new year's resolutions!

Hi!

In the last new year I had a great moments with my family. Before 12:00 we celebrated and talked about new goals and resolutions for the next year. As always, I had a lot of resolutions for 2010 and here are a few.

RESOLUTIONS:

• To help people with their problems: I really like to help when there is something wrong going on. I will help anyone that needs a hand because doing that you will make really happy that person.
• To be friendly and nice to everyone i know: I like to be friendly and kind to everyone because if they feel sad I can help them by giving them a smile and they will feel better.

GOALS:

• To get better in school: I wil like to have a succesful future so I need to concentrate in school and have good grades to learn the best I can in every class.
• To be more responsible with my homework: I am already responsible when it's about homeworks, but I will like to improve because doing homework will help me to learn and get better.

In this holiday break, i had so much fun with my family and friends. We went to Thailand for 6 days and to Singapore for 3 days.

In Phucket, Tailand we had so much fun because the first day when we arrived we went to the beach and took thousands of pictures! We stayed there until 7:00 when we decided to go back to the hotel and sleep. We spent the next 3 days in the beach swimming until one day my sister was bitten by a jellyfish so she was afraid to go to the beach again. So the next two days we swimmed in the pool and we still had fun. The next day was amazing because we went to a show called "FantaSea" where dancers performed really cool dances and Thailand stories. After that I rode a really big elephant! At the biginning it was scary but at the end I felt so happy and excited.

In Singapore we had fun too. The first day we arrived we went to a tour to different parts of singapore. We went to temples and we saw a big lion looked-like statue. The second day was the best because we went to Universal Studios! It was so cool because there were rollercoasters and water games, that were really exciting. And finally the last day, we went to Sentosa Beach and rode the "Banana" in the sea. We took a lot of pictures in all our vacations. Here are some:

I have a talent that no one knows. I can put my feet behind my head. Some people find it weird, but I think it's really cool.


As a conclusion this holiday was one of the bests of my life and I will never forget it. I feel so lucky to be here and have this kind of opportunities.

Bye!
