Rube Goldberg Machines, Day 2

The 1st and 2nd graders had so much fun creating their Rube Goldberg machines! The second day that we did this in class, the machines were bigger and better, and they learned that If at first you don't succeed, try, try again!

Rube Goldberg Machines, Day 1

25 Hour Learning Challenge, Part V

I am continuing to work on furthering my conversational Spanish. After spending a week in Mexico and getting rid of being shy or timid about speaking, I came back to the U.S. much more apt and ready to speak. This past week I have been fortunate in the fact that I have gotten to take part in Parent/Teacher conferences where I have had the opportunity to speak with native Spanish speakers who are parents in my classroom and report on their child's progress. This isn't necessarily conversational Spanish but more academic Spanish that I am using, but I am practicing nonetheless. This gives me the opportunity to broaden my academic vocabulary all the while honoring my students' culture and offering relief for the parents of my students to not need to worry about speaking in English. My digital identity has influenced my learning because by posting my goals and my progress online, the information becomes permanent, it is published, and I am less likely to renege on my word. Also, putting my goals out for all to read is helping me to stay on task.
