Stand and Deliver

Today we finished watching a movie called stand and deliver and it is about this school called Garfield High School was doing really bad and this teacher came and taught them calculus. They took a test and they taught they all cheated and so they all wanted to take the test again and Jamie Escalante they teacher was saying that they did not cheat and he proved that they did not cheat and they all passed.

This movie means to me that always try your best don't let nobody tell you what you cant do and you need to prove them wrong. The movie is based on a true story. He made learning fun to them and maybe thats why they passed the test.



This is the teacher

The Big Test

TAKS testing is next week! How do you feel about the TAKS test? Are you excited? Are you nervous? Are you going to do something special when TAKS is over? I feel nervous about the TAKS test and also feel confident because i now that i am smart and i am going to pass it . I am not exited because it is a really STUPID test because some kids don't even pass it and what is the point of it. No i am not going to do something spacial  because it is just a test .

iPads for kids

What is your opinion of students using technology like the iPad in their classroom? What are some advantages of this type of technology? What are some of the disadvantages?                            
My opinion of the students in Stonewall Elementry is that if they are really learning something they shoould keeping them or scince the ipads came to there school improved and the students improved there grades the should keep using them. Some advantages  are that they are learning something a disadvantage is they mite get on something unappropiate or one of the kids mite brake one or a new student comes they are not going to have one.

Blooging about Blogging

I would say please let us have blogger it will help us by getting better at grammar.It is good for young students cause it lets them improve their typing skills and etc.Another reson its good for students because it helpes them get familiar with technology .Some disadvantages they could put inappropriate stuff or what they did at home etc. Another disadvantage is that they mite get on it at home and thre parents did not whant them to have one.
