Today Ms. Cahusac showed us pictures on the projector of cool things and we have to make a blog post about an image of someone making a really cool piece of art that is made out of rubix cubes. The artist is making a picture of  Martin Luther King Junior. I think this is a really cool piece of art. He glued all the rubix cubes together after he made the awesome patterns. I really like the rubix cube art!

Today my mom and dad brought me to school for the SLLR (Student Led Learning Review). The SLLR is a program that not many schools use, it is when your parents come to school and you give them a kind of lecture about what have you learnt since the start of the school year. I shared my learning with them and we are making this blog post together about how it went.

Mom & Dad: We liked the assessment work our child did, particularly the presentation he did for his learning on Technology and Mathematics. We found his creation of the music composition (chord based), and his “Trashed Formula 1 Car” very impressive. His learning progress in Chinese and French is also meeting our expectations.  We look forward to learning more about further progress in mathematics and grammar. We think the broad applications of technology in learning is very good and blogs have been a good way of communication.

Me: I think it was fun because I was in charge and I also think that this is an effective way of showing/communicating what I’ve learned in school. I showed them all the stations and used the learner profile attributes and attitudes to tell them how I’m a learner. I showed them how I work hard in school and what I learn everyday. I am quite proud of my success in summative tasks and how I get things done really fast when I focus. I also showed them that I am a problem-solving kind of person. The last time I solved a big problem was when I found out how to print out the brochure we had to make for the SLLR (this occured yesterday). The printer kept printing the brochures one side the right way, one side upside-down. I fixed it by printing one side first and then put that sheet of paper in the paper tray so it would on the right side on the same paper. Miss Cahusac found a way to do it an easier way but it wastes two sheets of paper.

This was a fun learning experience and I wish there will be another on coming up soon.

Hi everyone, this is my post of the week.

Today during Class Community Circle, we shared stories on some funny/weird things that happened during Easter Break. I chose a few stories to share with you. Ms. Cahusac went to Thailand with her teacher friends Ms. Kinsinger and Ms. Carmen and they went on the biggest zipline course and they also went motorcycling. Ms. Kinsinger accidentally went on the super-highway and freaked all of them out because they had to drive so fast. Dynamo 20′s story was he went with his sister to buy a guinea pig for Easter and his sister chose the biggest and fattest guinea pig out of all of them and they got the guinea pig. It was so hilarious. I went to Taiwan and went to this place called 六福村 and I saw lots of cool animals like giraffes, rhinoceroses, flamingoes, lemurs, lions, tigers, ostriches, etc. It was really fun. I even got to feed the lemurs! They jumped on my head and I got a picture of them of me giving them a piggyback ride. I was really surprised that they eat raisins.
