My Marble Run

Caleb



My marble run is made using plywood for the back to support the holders.  My mum gave me all the stuff from our kitchen.  I used all reusable materials from home.  It took me two weeks of planning and Mrs Singh nagging me.  My dad brought the wood from his work and helped me glue the materials on.    I followed the rule of having marble released from the left corner and exit from the right.  Once i dropped the marble in it continued to moving and didn't stop till it exited.

Mrs Singh:  How do you feel that you have completed your tasks as I remember it took a while for you to get started?
Caleb:        I feel proud that i got my marble run course finished and it looks good.

Glitter Words

What a day it was rain rain all day long. Today I taught my class how to use Google Drive. I had a professional development meeting with Angie Simmons today. I was all excited about Google Drive that everyone in Room 28 had to try it.  Our question was Why Blog?  We used Google Presentation to create this.
 
 
We now believe using Google Drive is like having a paperless classroom.  What the students really enjoyed watching somebody typing away on one computer station and watching another computer screen with text just popping up.  What we learnt was:
  • How to create folders
  • How to create presentation and documents
  • How to share a document with  specific people
  • How to create and use templates.
The hardest part was having our slide posted on our blog.  That took a while for some students.
