I am so excited to begin a new year and to embark on fantastic learning adventures with our class. In an effort to get to know each of you better and for you to get to know each other better, I’d like to ask you to answer a few questions through our class blog.
Today’s question:
What have you most loved learning (even if not in school)? Why was this important to you?
Please remember to write in full sentences. Also, please write a thoughtful response to someone else’s reply. Remember to write respectful, thoughtful, full sentences.
What I love to learn outside of school is. Snow boarding because it what I love to do in the winter and it helps me by not staying inside all day and learning new things like tricks on it.
Awesome, dudette! I wish I knew how to snowboard. Actually, while I love being outdoors in winter, I’m a chicken when it comes to going fast. Where do you snowboard?
I love to snow board too! Can’t wait for the new season, It’s going to be a great one. By the way whats the biggest feature you’ve hit? (If you’ve hit any of course)
I wish I knew how to snowboard. What is your favorite trick?
I also love snow boarding because it is fun to do and gets my energy out. I cant wait for winter what about you?
I loved taking a wilderness survival course. I learned that lightning can scatter like water – splashing. This information was important to me because I love to hike, and it may help save my life or the life of a friend.
Thats so cool! I want to take a wilderness survival course. It sounds fun!
That would be so cool to take a wilderness survival course
What I most loved learning is learning how to bake. I love to bake because it takes your mind off of things that are stressing you, and it usually tastes good at the end. Baking is important to me because I love the feeling of giving a sweet treat to someone who needs it.
I love to bake to actually. I wish I could be really good at baking I am not that good. What’s the best thing you ever baked?
I to am not the best at baking, but I think it’s ok because I’m usually the one who eats it. What your favourite thing to eat.
I love spice! It is so good like buffalo chicken it never gets old to me!
Me too Ailish! What do you like to bake cakes, cu cakes, cake- pops etc. Also do ever bake for a party or a certain celebration.
I love baking too! I always offer to help my mom cook. What is your favorite food to bake? Mine is cupcakes!!!
I like baking too. Do you have any special recipes?
Ailish,
I appreciate your comment. Making something for someone can give us a great feeling. And, the wonderful smells of baking make a house feel like a home. You can explore your creative and scientific sides, too, while you bake.
I love baking, too. As I am getting older I have learned to give away more than I keep.
I also like to be outside in the wilderness Ms. O’Brien. And everyone should have that knowledge about nature.
I love being outside because you can have so much fun!
What I love most to learn is soccer. I love to play soccer because I get to kick the ball and I get to throw the ball if I am goalie. Soccer is important to me because I get to play with my friends and just have fun!
I’m curious to know how playing soccer affects brain development. How does foot-eye coordination affect the brain in a different way than hand-eye coordination (tennis, baseball, basketball, etc)?
I love the reason soccer is important to you. Keep enjoying having fun and exercising with your friends.
What I love to learn most about is basketball. What I love about it is that you get score baskets and compete against other teams. This is important to me because I have been playing basketball since I was young and I love so much! 🙂
Do the coaches teach certain skills at each age level? If so, what skills are you learning now?
I love science because there’s almost a endless amount of knowledge you can gain while exploring science, and it’s a fun subject to think about, it always has you thinking.
I love science to. Did you know there are 27 bones in the human hand?
Thanks for the fact Zach!
Alex I love the enthusiasm ! I also love science too, I too try to do science experiments when ever I get to. One of my experiments was a bottle rocket powered on baking soda and vinegar. What is your favorite science experiment.
Sound like fun! I don’t really do experiments though, I’ll look into it:)
I think the learning can be endless. There are brand new topics yet to explore, and there is so much more to understand about topics which may seem familiar to us.
What I love learning most is math because I like to know I use math on everyday bases. Another reason I love math because I love challenges and learning new things. The last reason I love math is because you expand all your nollage to a newer level.
I also like math Mariel.what is your favorite part?
Fiona, I was wondering the same thing? What type of math do you enjoy most? Or is it solving puzzles or problems that you love?
Like the two of you, I have always loved math, too. I remember being in fifth grade and loving doing my math homework.
What I love to learn outside of school in the winter is ski because my dad teaches me. The reason why I like my dad teaching is because I get to spend some time with him. Also it gives me an opportunity to get out of the house taking advantage of snow days.
I like skiing too! I mainly ski in Vermont, what about you?
I also no how to ski. It is so fun
Ah…there’s nothing like spending time with someone you love enjoying the same activity.
I like to learn math because we use it everyday.Also I like learning math because there is so many fun activities and challenges to acomplish.Most of all you need math for basically any job so if you learn math you can be successful.
Wow Fiona that’s so cool! I love learning math too. There are so many places and situations you find you’re self doing math. What is the craziest situation you found you’re self doing math in?
Ah, two more math lovers. Fiona, you’re right, math is all around us. Here is our latest, crazy math situation. Tonight, my daughter and I were reading a book together entitled, Counting on Frank. In the back of the book, there is a problem that refers to the size of a boy’s bedroom as greater than the size of his kitchen. We thought our kitchen was larger than our daughter’s bedroom, so we pulled out the measuring tape and measured the dimensions. The kitchen is larger.
What I love learning most is math because I use math on an everyday basis. Another reason I love math is because I love challenges and learning new things. The last reason I love math is because I expand all of my knowledge to a newer, higher level.
I loved learning to code. I first got interested when I started doing scratch about two years ago, then I got into the lego robotics team at school. I already had my own lego mindstorm at home but this taught me how to use it. Then I started to make my own mod for Minecraft.
Interesting, I wish I knew how to code, long live the zeebotics!
That sounds like fun I wish I could code and make Minecraft mods too!
Impressive! What is a “mod for Minecraft?” It sounds like you have already discovered the thrill of pursuing your own interests and pushing the barriers to learn more.
I like to learn about tennis. Why? Well you learn different strokes every day most of them are super hard. You also want to have a growth mind set cause somethings can
be hard, and you don’t want to get frustrated and give up strait away. I also love tennis because you get to learn new thing wall being active at the same time!
I like the way you described your liking of Tennis Cathrine. I like Tennis to.
I have been taking tennis for 5 years i i love playing it.
Catherine,
Good for you. I love your determination and perseverance.
I mostly love learning about Kung Fu and Soccer and discovering similarities in my free time.
kung fu, you have to teach me that some day
Why do you love these activities? How do you discover similarities? What types of similarities?
What I love to learn most about is the news! I love finding out about new gossip about people and what’s going around here.I like learning new cool facts.
I like learning difrent sports
Why?
love learning about geography and history, mostly of the British Isle in Europe. The British Isle has two islands in it Ireland and Great Britain, in the Island of Ireland it has the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, and in the Island of Great Britian is Wales, Scotland, and England. The United Kingdom has Northern Ireland, Wales, Scotland, and England. The UK lost all of its over sea territory’s in World War Two, but The British Isle are a great place to visit especially if you want to see the iconic Queen’s Guards, Doudle Decker Red Buses, and Big Ben(Queen Elizabeth II Tower).
Wow! We even have Harry Potter responding on our blog.
Matthew, I noticed you checking out Ireland on the map in your homework organizer. Is this a new interest – due to the map in the organizer, or have you been interested in this topic for a while? What piqued curiosity into this topic?
I had this interest before this year, and infact from the beginning of summer, I think this interest started when I was reading the magical British novel, Harry Potter. Did you know that there are only 22 country on earth that have not been invaded
I did not know this.
Really, Harry Potter inspired your interest in the British Isles?
Outside of school I learned that if I go hiking that if the color of the snake is red next to black it is not poisonous but if red is next to yellow it is poisonous .So now I know for next time.
Wow! I didn’t know that. I need to remember that for next time I go hiking! 😉
I mostly love learning soccer because you get to make friends and learning how to score goals. You also learn sportsmanship.
Have you learned new techniques or moves this year? If so, what moves have you learned?
My Favorite thing to learn is basketball because there is so many new moves that you can learn like the reverse layup or the studerstep. Sometimes when you miss a shot and the ball rolls right on wet grass, I get so mad AAAAAAARRRR!!! ”That’s so annoying. Now I have a wet ball’ ‘I often say. My favorite part about basketball is having a pickup game with my friends. This is one of the reasons why I like basketball.
Alex,
It sounds like you are quite experienced in the sport. I remember one time I was playing with a friend, and we were as frustrated as you when our basketball would get wet. However, we reveled in the crazy shots that went in the basket, when it seemed there was no chance.
I loved fishing with my cousin and catching fish. something i learned over the years was that if you had a fish on your line (catfish) and yanked it out of the water with your rod in the air the fish’s back fin will stab you.
You are lucky to go fishing. I only went once in my life and it was really fun Noah
Good to know. It’s amazing how we can just soak in information from our experiences even when we don’t think we’re learning.
wow matt, i did’t know about the British isle and i never knew that England was part of the British isle (even know i studied England in 3 grade)!
I loved learning how to play gaelic football because I take it seriously and it is a cool game to play
How did you develop an interest in this sport? Do you play one position, or are you moved around to develop experience in several positions?
