Inspiration

Hi,

I want to share some inspiring videos with you. They mostly have the same message: never give up.

Try something new for 30 days

My dad showed me this video on TED.com. It’s by Matt Cutts and it really inspired my to try something  new for 30 days.
Watch this video which is about trying something new for 30 days. Then comment on how you are doing and what you
are doing for 30 days.

Hope to see your comments.

Paula created her own image!

This weekend, Paula created this image for “effervescent” and emailed it to me. Here is her email:

Hi Mr. Sam,

after we have been doing some presentation lessons with Mr. Will I have gone home and looked for more pictures that were relevant. When I tried searching for bubbling soda water nothing really relevant to effervescent came up so I thought I could take a picture by myself.

I first tried with a small camera which didn’t really work at all so I asked my mom to help she said she’d help but we’d use the big camera (Canon 5D). I really trust her because she has taken a lot of good pictures (my dad as well) thats why they bought such a good camera. So my mom even changed the lense because we had a special lense that was especially for close ups and then I was pouring some soda water into a glass while she took pictures and I then worked on it in Picasa.

Hope you like it,

Paula

Teachers Taking Action

In October all the elementary teachers and academic assistants at NIST will be working for Habitat for Humanity in order to build houses for people with no homes.

We will do all the work… but we need to raise money to pay for all the materials. Please help us raise the money by bringing in your loose change (that’s the coins that are in your pocket or lying in a drawer somewhere).

We need to raise as much money as possible so we can build some great homes for people who need them.

Bring coins and drop them in the buckets tomorrow morning!

Where did you put your reminder cards?

Session with Ms. Ashley: “Feelings and the ways we express them”

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Ms. Ashley came and did a session about feelings today. We talked about the different feelings that we experience and how we deal with them. We discussed how we express ourselves when we feel different emotions. We gave examples of negative ways we express our feelings, and then we discussed the positive ways we express our feelings.

What were the most important parts of the conversation for you?

Facebook Safety

Me and Johann have been studying about Facebook and the internet for the past few months and have been trying to get people to be safe on Facebook. We have setted up other people’s privacy settings on the exhibition date and made a group on Facebook for people to get newsfeed of the new updated privacy settings. Since March facebook Privacy settings have been changed and updated 2 times to make it easier for people to understand.

Here is the link of our group on Facebook:

Facebook Safety Consultancy Center

 We got over 100 people to set their privacy settings. So if you have Facebook join our group to be safer on Facebook
