Our South Platte River Community

2009-05-27T14:00:00.005-06:00

This IB unit was entitled Give and Take and addresses the limited resources in our world. Students were challenged to build a section of a community on the edge of a river. This is loosely based on our own community, so they were also challenged to add a community center, an amusement park, a college, a football stadium, a wildlife preserve and a power plant. Their communities should reflect their knowledge of renewable and nonrenewable resources and how a community reduces pollution and waste. In addition to this project, students also completed an expository writing about ways that they think we could help our environment. Those writings are also posted below. We also experimented with a "Wall Wisher" which is posted here. Double click to add a comment of your own.

We collaborated on this project with Mrs. Heaton's fourth graders from Mossy Oaks Elementary in Beaufort, South Carolina. They mirrored this process in their class and we are going to spend some time looking at the issues that they feel are important in developing their community, and how those issues are the same and different from ours. Thanks to Mrs. Heaton's class!

Great job room24, this is a great start. If there were more than a handful of days left we would continue to discuss in class. This is certainly a discussion you will need to have throughout your lives. Comments are welcome.

Recycle

2009-05-26T13:21:00.015-06:00

A part of our community is a capital,a family dollar store, and an airport. The first problem is the pollution is noise our airport will be far away from the houses. Under 300 people will live with silence.
Laws we can make are reduce, reuse ,recycle ,ride your bike more.
Also everything is free.

Loveland, Our Community

2009-05-26T13:08:00.005-06:00

Our part of the community has trash cans in my community for trash. The first problem in our community is picking up trash and put it in the trash can. The solution is having a lot of trash cans in our city. The second problem is where do we get seeds to plant flowers? The solution is plant plants in our city then you get the seeds from the plants.

OUR COMMUNITY

2009-05-26T13:08:00.004-06:00

Our part of the community has a museum, a car fixing auto parts place and a recycling plant, a hospital, a flower shop, and a mail delivery business. The first problem in our community is how are we watering flowers. The solution is we water them and use the water again after it is clean. The second problem is where do we get the seeds to plant flowers. We get them naturally from plants and use them. We never get them from stores. The last problem is they use broken car parts for fixing cars and they recycle paper and plastics they use.

TO HELP OUR ENVIRONMENT

2009-05-26T13:07:00.004-06:00

Our part of the community has a park and a restraunt, farms, and houses.

The pollution that comes from INVESCO FIELD is alot .The solution is to recycle and reuse trash.

The energy used from the houses is polluting.We should use solar panels.

The water used at the park is kind of polluted.The solution is to clean the water at the park.

POLLUTION SOLUTION

2009-05-26T12:52:00.004-06:00

Our part of the community has a public bathroom,a visiting sign,a farm,a community center,and a store and house.
The first problem in our community is that people are wasteful.The solution is that these people have recycle bin to recycle.
The second problem is that people don't know how to use the environment.The solution is that they will educate people in the community center.
The third problem is that in farms animals poop to much.The solution is that they could use poop to make soil for plants.

Our Community

2009-05-26T11:36:00.008-06:00

Our part of the community has Elitches and we have an ice cream stand. We also have a candy shop,aquarium ,and recycling center. We also have a school, hospital, and police station.The first problem in our community is there's alot of trash at Elitches.The solution is to put trash cans and recycling bins all around.The second problem is that a wild life preserve doesn't give much to the community.The solution is to also preserve trees to give us oxygen.

Our Community

2009-05-26T11:06:00.013-06:00

Our little community has a green house and also a college plus a Mcdonalds.

The first problem in our community is that people throw away too much trash. are solution is to put recycling bens everywhere.The second problem is that people cut down too many trees. So we have are own green house.The third problem is that people don't recycle so are solution is that we have college so people learn how to save and plant trees and to learn how to recycle.

HELP OUR ENENVIRONMENT

2009-05-26T10:28:00.005-06:00

Those are the ways we cant are care of the envierment .First I could ride my bike to the store or tokingsoopers.Also I corride my biketo the corner star I If rate my bike every whereit way down are or rossil felss.If would cout les money and cutdown treesgive us ocujin if we cut down all of the trees then we will dy. then we will make motorcycles run off of water.

Don't Pollute, Use Your electric car More

2009-05-20T13:02:00.004-06:00

We can take care of the environment by doing some simple things. You should reduce trash, keep the earth clean and invent electric cars.

The first thing we should do is ride bikes. I ride my bike to King Soopers. I can also ride my bike to the corner store. If I rode my bike everywhere it would cut down on the use of fossil fuels. It would cost less money and cut down on pollution.

The second thing is to keep the earth clean. We can keep the earth clean by throwing the trash away and recycling paper and bottles. We should recycle or else the earth will be polluted.

The last thing is to invent electric cars. We should invent electric cars by wires and if a wire breaks you can replace it with a powerful electric ball. So we won't pollute because from the back of the normal cars throw out bad air.

I would like to take care of the environment so we won't pollute. How would you take care of the environment to make it better. Also, I would love my world to be a better place to live.

How ToHelp our environment

2009-05-19T14:04:00.011-06:00

we could take better care of our environment by doing some very simple things.

First I could ride my bike. I ride my bike to king suppers.I
can also ride it to the corner store.If I rode my bike everywhere ,It would cut down on the pollution.

Next, I could pick up trash.I can pick up trash so some pollution can go away.I can also, pick up trash from everywhere so some animals won't die by eating trash and choking .You can do it by spotting a piece of trash and recycling it or through it in the trash.Also,by eating your food and when your done through it in the trash.

Finally ,I could recycle bottles,cans,and newspaper.You could do the same thing by noticing your helping the environment.Also,recycle things that can be used again with helping the environment to.Also if you see a can or a bottle you can next time recycle it.Also,you can recycle paper mostly because it can be reused so our trees won't die and get wasted.

I hope you use my ideas.Won't you like to work on helping the environment.That's how we can help our environment.

ways to save the envirnment

2009-05-18T13:52:00.024-06:00

We can save the envirnmentby doing some very simple things.You should ride more bikes,building houses out of frozen newspaper,andhave an electrict cars.I hope you use my ideas.

First I can ride my bike more.I can ride my bike to the corner store.If rode my bike every it would reduce the use of fossil fuels.I can ride my bike to kingsoopers.Also I think we should ride bikes instead of getting drove.

Next I could build houses out of frozen news paper.So that we can have more beautiful trees.So that we can have more trees.If we built houses out of news paper we could have more trees.All you have to do is freeze news paper.Freeze it for three days and you'll have a block of news paper.

Finally we could we could have electric cars.One good thing is that we wont have polluted air.We also wouldn't have acid rain.If we take electric motors instead of gas ,we can make cars run off of rain water,or wind.This will increase global warming.

Thats what i think about this problem.this is a environmental writing.Now don't come back until you helped the environment.

HELP OUR ENVIRONMENT

2009-05-18T13:52:00.022-06:00

GO GREEN

2009-05-18T13:51:00.009-06:00

We can take care of our environment by doing some very simple things like doing these reduce,reuse,and recycle.those are called the three r's.

I could ride my bike more.If I rode my bike ever where it would cost less money and helps stop pultion.I ride my bike to the corner storer .

finally,I could recycle.Recycling helps save the trees not be cut down.This also helps the so the animals can still live in the forest.

Thats three things we could do to save the world.You should think about doing these things .Rember alaways recycle trash!!!

OUR ENVIROMENT

2009-05-18T13:49:00.013-06:00

We could take care of our enviroment by doing some very simple thing.to help our world.we could use electric cars.ride our bikes more and we could not cut down trees.

First,we could ride our bikes more.because we could get a lot of exercise. if i rode my bike more i would cut down on fossle fuels.and cut down on money.and also cut down on palution.

Then,i could use an electric car. because it is used over solar energy. the solar energy maskes it go. and it is used over solar panles. the solar panles make it stop.

NEXT, i could not cut down trees.because if you planted them again it would take about 2 or 3
years to grow again. and it is a renewable resourse.and because some trees could die.and some people polute.

Finally,those are the three simple things. to help our world. those are the three things i do to help our world.

2009-05-18T13:49:00.009-06:00

We could take care of our environment by doing some very simple things.You should pick up trash.You should also fix broken toys and ride your bike more.

I can ride my bike more.I can ride my bike to King Soopers.I can also ride it to the corner store.If I rode my bike everywhere, it would cut down on the use of fossil fuels, and less pollution.It will cost less money.

Next, I could fix my broken toys and bike.It will be fun.I will be able to make a new toy.I will be able to use tools.It will cause less trash in the dump.

Finally, I will pick up trash.It will help our environment.It will also keep us from tripping.If the park has trash we won't be able to play in it.It will keep us from falling on cans.

That is my writing.Now go save the world.Do you recycle?

RIDE BIKES MORE

2009-05-18T13:48:00.004-06:00

Three things im going to tell you to help the earth! PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE WATER ON WHEN NOT IN USE!!!!! Also please stop leaving the tv on when not using it! One more very important thing is dont leave the lights on! We could do to take care of the envirment is to ride our bikes.It will keep you in shape. I can go to the corner store.

Next,we can build houses out of ice!we can becose it can water the grass when it melts.somtimes i can cut the walls and drink the water in it. I can also put stuff in it.

Lastly,I can recycle.I can help the earth.also reuse things.recycle cans.I can get used things. So please recyclemore and do your part.The earth needs you.Will you recycle?BY FERNANDO

2009-05-18T13:46:00.006-06:00

We could help our environment by doing very simple things.We can do things to help our world.You could ride your bike more,and to stop cutting down trees we also could pick up trash.

First, we can stop using those power polluting cars.I can ride my bike to King Soopers.Also I can ride my bike to the corner store.If I rode my bike everywhere it would make a difference.It also saves big money.

To also save the environment we can stop cutting down trees.If we do not cut down we will have more oxygen.If you do not cut down we will not have a frown.We can stop cutting down by recycling.You can also write a letter.

Last,we can pickup trash.We can live better if we pick up trash.Also to bed good stewards.We can help a little every day.You could pick up everywhere you go.

So now you heard how you can help.You can be a great steward.What ever you do you can help the world.

pollution

2009-05-18T10:19:00.006-06:00

In order to help our environment is we have to tell people to do the right thing.I'm going to tell
my three ideas to make the environment more better.They are riding more bikes,don't keep bad factories,and don't cut down trees.

My first,
paragraph is telling you that you should ride more bikes because they cut down your paying gas.
And gas will cost less for you!And you will get more people riding bikes.You can ride them to
the corner store.

The second,thing that I'm going to tell you is that we should not keep
harmful factories.You should not go near harmful factories because the pollution will sometimes get in you.You can still keep factories that are not harmful and dangerous.
Also you can not cut down trees because that is one of the things that gives you oxygen it will also harm people.that is why you should not cut down our trees.

Those were my three

great ideas that I wrote.I hope you liked it.The enviornment might get saved by our ideas.

We could take better care of our environment by doing some very simple things.There are lots of things we should do to take care of the renewable and non renewable resources that we have.We can do that by conserving electricity,water,and fossil fuels.

First,I could ride my bike more.I could ride my bike to King Soopers .I can also ride it to the corner store.If I rode my bike everywhere it could cut down on the use of fossil fuels.It would cost less money and cut down on pollution too.

Next ,I could watch less TV.It would be good for my eye sight.I would use less electricity.I'd do my homework instead.I could go out to play.

Finally,I would take less time in the shower. I would use less water.Also,I would also have spare
time.I would stop at a certain time. I could hurry up.

That's how I can take care of the environment.Just in 3 simple steps.I love the environment,and I hope you like it too.

2009-05-14T13:49:00.007-06:00

HELP OUR ENVIRONMENT

We could take better care of our environment by doing some very simple things. You and I should both ride our bikes, reuse, and pick up any trash we see.So now I hope you like the three things I am going to tell you.

First,me and you should ride our bikes more often.I ride my bike to KING SOOPERS.Also I ride it to the corner store because, why ride a car to a place that's so close.Also if we ride our bikes everywhere it would cut down on the use of fossil fuels.Also it will keep you in shape and cost less money and cut down on pollution.

Second,me and you should reuse stuff we usually throw away.If we do this less land would be polluted.Also it will make people not cut down trees to make dump spaces.If we reuse some of your stuff won't get lost.You can use a paper cup for example, you can put marbles in a cup or other tiny objects in it.

Finally,we can pick up trash we see.If we do this less land will be polluted.Also animals won't eat the trash and die.This will help us by not having such dirty places.It will also help by keeping our planet green.

those are all the ways we can keep our environment clean, healthy ,and very green.Don't you think we should help our environment live?Now go and help our environment NOW and don't come back till you have!!!!!!!

How to help the environment

2009-05-14T13:45:00.035-06:00

We should take better care of our environment by doing very simple things.Like riding bikes,riding electric cars, and not cutting down trees.I hope you enjoy it!

First, we should ride bikes more often.We could ride are bikes to King supers. Or I can ride it to the corner store.We should do it cause it would cut down in the use of fossil fuels.It will also cost less money and cut down pollution.

second, we should use electric cars.Electric cars don't pollute that much.they use electricity instead of fuel.we should buy one.They are very use full.

Finally, We should not cut down trees.We should use plastic instead of trees.Trees are a renewable recourse but have limits.We should also recycle paper and not waste it. Stop making paper air planes.

Those are all the things you could to take care of our environment.Do you think we should take care of our environment?Now go and don't come back till you've helped the enviornment!

Taking care of our environment

2009-05-14T13:45:00.034-06:00

We could take care of our environment by doing some simple things.
we are going to tell you about nonrenewable and renewable resources.

I hope you conserve ride bikes,recycle and reuse.

First I could ride my bike more.

I ride my bike to king supers.

I can also really like to ride my bike to the corner store.

If I ride rode my bike everywhere,it would cut down on

fossil fuels and with pollution.

It would also cut down on money too.

Next,I can recycle to help out.

I think recycling is fun because

can help people from littering.

To help people from littering pick up everything

you see.The more we pick up the more the world gets

clean.If people stop littering the air or anything else

wont get polluted.

Finally,I could reuse to help the world from pollution.

I can reuse to help trash people.

trash people can carry heavy things ,
but trash people can even rip the bag from

heavy toys that can be reused.

If you think that your little

brother broke your toy,well

just add a dab of glue and you

wont be mad at your brother for the

rest of your life.

I hope you understand those three R paragraphs.

Ride bikes,recycle and reuse.Those three are things you

can be doing instead of playing video

games all day long.

Help Our Planet

2009-05-14T13:44:00.008-06:00

We could take better care of our enviorment by doing some very simple things.I am going to tell tell you three things i do.I hope you like them.

First, I ride my bike more.I ride my bike to KING SOOPERS and to the corner store.If i rode my bike everywhere, It would cut down on the bill of fossil fuels. It would cost less money and cut down on pullution.

Next, I could pick up trash. I pick up trash if I see outside on the floor.I pick up trash in my house to.If i pick up trash everyday our planet would not be so dirty. And then we would not have to pay the price.

Finally, I would not cut down trees. I reuse the paper Iuse over again. And I recycle paper after I am done using it. if we use paper over again it would save trees. We need trees because they give us oxygen.

Thats all three things I do to help our planet. And you can help our planet by making up your ideas to help our planet.

Probability VoiceThread

2009-03-23T16:07:00.006-06:00

Here is room24's voicethread where you created bar graphs showing the numbers that you rolled with two dice. You then should have made comments on the voicethread based on the instructions on the first slide. Anyone with a voicethread account can comment on this. We would be interested to hear what others have to say about some of the data you see on these graphs. For example, one group rolled a 12 more often then any other number!! We didn't expect that!

Here is wiki that was developed specifically to collect ways that educators are using VoiceThread.

Better playground

2009-02-19T14:02:00.001-07:00

My favorite part of my writing is the last sentence.

The thing I need to work on is my details

Jose R. 2-17-09 Persuasive Writing

With the extra fundraiser money we can have a better playground. It would be the coolest thing ever. Also, we will not be board the whole time. Finally, we will have a lot more fun.

It would be so cool. It would because we get to play more. Also we will have a lot more activities. Those games will be the fun nest games ever. We also will play more because the playground will be gigantic.

We also will not be board. We will not because us kids will be chatting and hanging out. We will have a lot more fun with the new equipment. Also when we are being crazy out there it is kids just being kids. When we are out side we love it.

That will really mean a lot to us. If you did it you would be number one in my book “yeah”!!! It will really make us happy. I will even clean it up every day if I have to. Think about it, it would be really cool.

So you herd it from kids there selves. They really want it. Also you do not want to make them crazy trust me because I am one of them. So please do it or we will boo it.

denver broncos

2009-02-19T13:54:00.002-07:00

The best part of my writing is the broncos have three of the best people.

The thing I need to work on is that i need a better conclusion.

Freddie 2-17-09 persuasive writing

The best sports team is the Denver Broncos. The best sports team is the Denver Broncos because they are the greatest team in the AFC. They also have a great record in the AFC.

I like the Denver broncos because they get better and better and try their hardest to make it to another super bowl. The first time we got john Elway we made it to a super bowl and lost. Then we made it again and won that super bowl and we won the year after. First they beat the Atlanta falcons 32-29. Then we beat the green bay packers 42-28.

I also like the Denver broncos because they had 3 of the best people to play in the super bowl 32 and 33.they had Jerry Rice, John Elway, and Terrell Davis. They are all named MVP in the most of the games they played. Jerry Rice was the most important player on our team because he was named MVP three times. John Elway and Terrell Davis were only named twice in the 2 super bowls.

I also like the Denver broncos because of how hard they try to make it to another super bowl this year. The broncos have three new rookies. The new rookies’ names are Eddie Royal, one is also named Jay cutler, and the last one is Tatum bell. They will try to make it to another super bowl. The broncos will definitely win with our new coach McDaniel.

That’s why the Denver broncos are the best sports team ever. Will the broncos make it to a super bowl again? I think the broncos will.

DODGE BALL ROCKS

2009-02-02T14:19:00.002-07:00

My favorite hobby is Dodge Ball. I like it because it is fun. Also my brothers play that hobby.
You could get exercises. I like to be healthy. I like to be healthy so I could run more and have fun. I also like sports. I like sports because my uncle also likes sports.
You also get to hit people. The other people also get to hit me. It hurts when they hit you hard. It is fun when you hit people and when they hit you. Some people cry because some people hit hard.
You also get to do teamwork. All of the other teams make plans. They make plans to win. They also protect people that might get hit by a ball. They protect them because they don’t want them to cry. That is my favorite hobby. I have fun when I play it. My brothers enjoy it too.

What I liked about it is that I talked about Dodge Ball.
Next time I will put more action.
Over all I feel good.

When I am with my freinds.

2009-01-22T14:04:00.004-07:00

This is my writing. The best part of my writing is the songs. Next time, I need to work on my capital letters.

When I’m with my friends I enjoy playing Guitar hero. I also like because I like the songs. Also I like it because its easy.

I also like it because I because I beat my friends. When I play Guitar hero I always beat them. The reason I beat them Is because they don’t know how to play . They Also had never played it . Also they don’t look at the screen. they just look at the control and they get all the notes wrong.

I also like when the song is ending the guy throws the guitar up and then catches it The other song I really liked is Shout of the Devil and Mother. When the guy gets the power he dose a flip. Then he breaks the guitar when the song ends.

I also like Guitar Hero because its easy to play. When I play with my friends I will never get confuse. Even if I am playing with the guitar. I easy to play with the control because you just press it once. With the guitar you have to press two buttons at the same time so it would work

That is why I enjoy playing Guitar Hero. I wonder why they don’t know how to play. Would you like to play this game?

When I'm outside I enjoy . . .

2009-01-22T13:58:00.005-07:00

The best part of my writing is my last three sentences .

What I need to work on is my middle paragraph.

When I am Outside I

Enjoy . . .

When I’m outside an activity I enjoy is swinging.

I like swinging because I feel like I’m flying. I love the air blowing in my face. I love the scenery. I can swing really high.

I love the air blowing in my face. I love the air because it cools me off. When I‘m cooled off I am not angry. I like swinging because when the air blows in my face it makes my hair fly out of my face. When my hair is out of my face I can see a lot better.

I love the scenery. I love the blue sky, yellow sun, green grass, light brown sand. White fluffy clouds, white birds and geese. I like the geese

Because sometimes they can be really quiet. I like the scenery because I love all of the beautiful colors.

I can swing really high. When I swing high I feel free. I feel free because when the air hits me in the face I feel free. It gives me excitement. It gives me excitement because I feel free.

Now you know my favorite activity when I’m outside. In case you forgot, my favorite activity is swinging. Now what’s your favorite activity?

I LIKE HIDE AND SEEK

2009-01-15T16:09:00.003-07:00

When I am with friends I enjoy playing hide and seek because it is really hard to find people. I like it when they hide some where that’s hard to find them. Sometimes they hide in a car or behind a tree.
It is really fun to play Hide and Seek. It is really challenging to find people. Also it is fun when they startle you. Sometimes it is hard to decide where to hide. It is really challenging people. Also it is fun when they startle you. Sometimes it is hard to decide were to hide. It is awesome when they don’t find you.
It is funny when a person confuses me for an item that is not me. Sometimes in the dark people get confused other kids for an item like a chair. Like one time when I was playing in the dark then some body confused me for a chair. Some times I make noises and jump out and scare them. That makes me laugh so hard.
I like playing in the dark cause that makes it harder to find people. Sometimes I walk and then I trip because I can’t see where I am going. It is also painful plus sometimes I get dirt in my mouth. You can also trick them by dressing up like a scare crow and they will think you’re a real scare crow.
Tag is a really fun game to play. You should play it when you got time. Those are the reasons why I like playing.

The best part of my writing is the final paragraph I like it cause I give opinions about the game tag. Next time I will write about some thing difrent. What did you like or did not like about my writing?

I Like Playing Soccer

2009-01-15T16:01:00.007-07:00

When I’m outside I enjoy soccer. I enjoy soccer because you can get exercise. You also get to be healthy.
I started to play in second grade. I was not very good at it. So my team won like 3 or 4 times and the other team won exactly 10 times. Every day practiced I soccer to be good at it. When I thought I was done practicing. I played soccer and I got better.

Soccer is a hard sport for me. It is a hard sport for me because when you’re playing a game you must last 2 hours in the field. Also a lot of skinny people play soccer because they run faster and last 2 hours. You also need to run a lot but when you’re tired you can’t get a drink of water only on half time. So when you start you don’t want to drink a lot of water
My favorite place is in the High School. I like it because it is a big place to play soccer. It also gots a big field to play soccer. I like to go there because my friends also go there and some lose and some win.

That is what I do when I’m outside. I always have fun and exercise, a lot. I enjoy soccer at the High School.

The best part of my writing is typing. Next time, I need to use better expresion. What do you like to do when your outside.

WHAT I LIKE TO PLAY IS FOOTBALL

2009-01-15T15:59:00.006-07:00

When I’m outside I enjoy football because I like to run. I like to play football. I like to have fun.

I started to play football with my brother. I was too scared. My brother ran to fast. My brother tackled hard. He used to play with older people.

It made me exercise. You got to run a lot. That makes you healthy. You get to be stronger. Like your leg muscle would be stronger.

I also play football to be healthy. You so you could be healthier. If you run everyday you can be healthy. To eat a lot of fruit. Like if you eat oranges and apples you could get healthy.

When I’ enjoy football. I felt happy that I knew how to play football. So it was dark so my brother said lets go home.

My favorite part of my writing is when I talk about being healthy. Next time I need to make paraghs more longer. Did you struggled when you were in fourth
grade?

Football and Basketball is Good Exercice.

2009-01-15T15:54:00.009-07:00

The best part in my writing is when I talked about my favorite sports.I need to better details. What is your favorite sport?Here is my writing.
When I am outside I like to play all kinds of sports. Also it is exciting because you do not know if you are going to win. It is also so fun.

It is also good exercise for your body. It is healthy for your body because it makes you stronger and faster. It also makes you healthier by just being a kid and having fun. It also makes your hart pump. When that happens that is a sign that you are getting healthier.
The sports I like to play are football and basketball. Basketball is one because I like making two pointers. Also I like doing free style moves. Football is a fun sport. It is a fun sport because you get interceptions and touch downs. I like getting touchdowns because then I can do my victory dance “oh ya”!
It is excellent. It is excellent because I get to play with my family. I like to play with my family because I have basketball hoop in my back yard. Plus I almost always win with them. Sometimes I like to play with my friends to. When I play with them I play football in my front yard. I have a lot of fun.
I think playing those sports are so cool. You should try it. Also stay healthy.

Leadership Summit

2008-11-20T17:51:00.014-07:00

We have been learning all about leadership in Room24! Now it is time for our second annual Leadership Summit on December 5th from 10:00 to 11:30.

The Leadership Summit is a chance for fourth graders to reflect on what it means to be a leader. They will be reflecting on these four questions:

What qualities to leaders have?
What problems exist in my school or community that could be solved if I were a leader?
What obstacles stand in my way that prevent me from being a leader?
What goals can I set for myself to get past these obstacles?

Here are the slides we will be looking at on Friday. Embeddable from WizIq:

We need your involvement! Here's how:
We will present the answers to these questions on December 5th in three ways. First, we will publish them on this blog. The questions will be posted and students will be commenting. You can comment too. Second, we will Tweet them (follow room24). What is Twitter? It is a way for students to respond online through 140 character "micro-blogs". We will also invite anyone to join us in a live conversation via WiziQ where participants can address these questions themselves, thinking about themselves when they were young, giving advice to Room24 or sharing a story of a great student leader. Sign up for this free session here.

We look forward to sharing all that we have learned.

Room 24

Saturn

2008-10-20T11:33:00.000-06:00

This is our photo story on the planet Saturn. One thing we did really well was choosing pictures. Next time we will do more recording. Something I learned about the Solar System is that the inner planets are solid and the outer planets are made out of gas. A question I still have is witch is the last planet Ceris or Eires? While we were working I think we were really creative.

Sun

2008-10-20T11:01:00.005-06:00

This is a photostory on the Sun. One of the things we did well was recording. Next time we will add more information. Something I learned was that the Sun has hydrogen gasses. One question is, do we have more than 1 sun? We think we were curious.

Neptune

2008-10-20T11:00:00.003-06:00

Qur planet is NEPTUNE!I think that we were really good at helping eachother out with ideas.We took a really long time with the pictures.I learned that Neptune is the eighth planet from the sun. Why isn't Pluto a planet anymore? I think we were thinking a lot together.

Mars Powerpoint

2008-10-17T11:10:00.002-06:00

Mars is our planet and we are doing a power point. On Mars what we answered right was the slides and we have cool pictures. Next time we will do a photo story because we could talk. The thing I learned was that there Is a lots of
planets. Why Is Mars not able to have people on it?
While we were working we were thinkers and we were open minded.

This is Servando,Jose,Devon,and Luis .
One thing we do well is work together.
Next time we will do this differently by choosing different pictures.
Something I learned about the solar system is Uranus got hit by a comet and that's what made its rings.
A question we still have is: Are there aliens on Uranus?
While we were working, I think we really were confident and we worked hard together.

Venus video

Hello Fourth Grade!

2008-09-22T18:18:00.000-06:00

Well here we are... it is fall and time for the beginning of school again. I am looking forward to another exciting year of learning. Believe it or not, I learn a lot every year just like my fourth graders do.

My wish this year is that this blog will become a place to:

publish your writing
create projects for IB
make contact with people from around the world
build a community of learners that is curious about the world around them

This week, I would like you to sign in to the blog and introduce yourself. Remember, don't use your last name. Tell everyone one thing you have learned so far in the fourth grade and one interesting thing that happened this summer.

We're Done!

2008-05-14T21:40:00.004-06:00

Remember this post? This was the first one that I created for my class back on August 16th. Since then we have posted 100 times! (I can't count the number of comments) We have had 3,669 hits and 443 different visitors to this blog. You have published writing, movies and even participated in a conference using WiziQ and inviting people from outside of our room to participate.

I can't express how proud I am of you, students in room24. This blog will take a break over the summer, and then will re-emerge again with new students. But you all are the originals and you should be very proud of all that you accomplished this year. You are much smarter now then you were back then because of your persistence, teamwork and risk-taking. You will always be members of this blog, sign-in and post whenever you like.

Good Luck in Fifth Grade! (but you don't need it)

We have been learning all about leadership in Room24. Each student researched a great leader (some researched a negative leader) and they spent some time identifying the qualities that made them great leaders. Now it is time to make some connections between those great leaders and ourselves. We will spend some time this week addressing these four questions:

What is leadership?
What problems exist in my school or community that could be solved if I were a leader?
What obstacles stand in my way that prevent me from being a leader?
What goals can I set for myself to get past these obstacles?

We will present the answers to these questions on Friday by publishing them on this blog and Tweeting them (follow room24).

Why? Why? Why?!!

2008-03-14T10:33:00.003-06:00

We've been talking and thinking a lot about "why". Why are we learning fractions in math? Why are we learning about comparing and contrasting in reading? Why do we need to learn the writing process? Why are we learning about India, China, Australia, Spain and the US? I am usually the one telling why...

My question today is this: Why do we have reading buddies? What is the purpose of inviting the first graders to our room to read them our writing or to help them with their writing, or to introduce them to our blog or Twitter?

Tell me what you think.
