5/11/10 I gave my odyssey username, but I had to change the password to make it 6 characters long.

The benefits of using worldregions8 are, you don't have to write anything down. You won't even get cramps if you type too long. You won't have to worry about using up all of the space on the paper. You also won't have to worry about your pencil tip breaking! The challenges you might face are, if your computer crashes, then you have no idea what to do for homework. ​ ​ ​

Andrew, I never thought of the cramps for making anyone write too long. Let's hope that the computer doesn't crash! Ms Flood

Great job buddy!!!!!! "Chris"

5/12/10 I understand I have to follow the District's rules on using this website. I fully understand that I will be held responsible for anything that I put on here that breaks the District's rules. I also understand that I will be removed from this website if I break the District's rules. I feel no need to petition the Board, because their rules are entirely fair. So now you know that I understand the District's rule. (P.S. STOP PUTTING PICTURES ON MY REFLECTIONS PAGE, GUYS!)

= Some cultural influences in my local area are, when you see a Chinese restaurant, you normally see the name in English and Chinese. Another cultural influence is when you get a paper to go home from school, sometimes half of it is English and the other half Spanish. Some American values I think the U.S shares with other cultures are world peace, saving the environment, and power. I think they all share world peace, because people all around the world are trying to stop wars. I think they all share saving the environment, because people all around the world are trying to protect endangered species. I think they all share power, because the reason we have wars is because each nation wants more power. Those are the cultural influences in my local area, and the American values I think the U.S. shares with other cultures. = = = = =

I drew a blank on the US values shared by other cultures as well! "Jonathan"

I totally agree, people world wide are trying to save the environment. GREAT JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ( p.s. thanks for the answer to my question) "Chris"

**AWSOME REFLECTION ANDREW!!!!! I like how you mentioned world peace and saving the environment. I agree with everything you wrote. Thats an A+ reflection!**

I agree, people around the world are trying to keep the environment clean and trying to save endangered species (pandas!!!!!). ~Christine~

The news said that President Obama talked to the president of Mexico and agreed to revise Arizona's immigration policy. That relates to our lesson that we are learning, because they both talk about immigration. That is how what was on the news relates to what we are learning in the classroom .======

Please explain the immigration policy to the class.

Good reflection Andrew. I'm using the same topic. I liked how you stated what the topic was. Though I thought that you could have given a little more on the topic.

I quess that i'm not the only one writing about this topic. !chris!

5/24/10 I think the Chinese proverb, "Tell me, I will forget. Show me, I may remember. Involve me, I will understand." means that showing someone how to do things or involving them will keep that knowledge with them better than a boring old lecture. A supportive detail is, imagine you have two classes, a boring one, and an exciting one. In the boring one, the teacher just sits around and reads what you should learn, while in the exciting one the teacher has all of these fun games that also teach you about the lesson. Which one would you most likely remember things from? The exciting one, of course! This proverb relates to our class and our assignments, because everything we do in class is around the show me, involve me part of the proverb. Here are examples:1, When we have new vocab words, Mrs. Flood doesn't just tell us the vocab words, she makes a game of showing us the vocab words! 2, When we watch an educational movie in class, Mrs. Flood is showing us stuff we're learning, not telling us. That is what I think the proverb means and how it relates to class. (P.S. The Chinese are really smart to make that proverb!) ~Andrew Vasquez~

5/26/10 Another verse to that song that shows how we should strive to live in this country could be:

 We'll be kind to others We'll be kind to others We'll be kind to others some day

That could be a good verse, because unfortunately not that many people are kind to other people. ~Andrew Vasquez~

**I like you lyrics, it's kind of like mine! Also I agree that not many people arent kind to other people. Great job, keep up the good work! $SIMEON$**

I love your lyrics Andrew, I think that many people in this world are very mean to others and that everyoneshould start being kind to everone else

6/2/10 I think the best part of field day is when we did those small groups, because they were fun! I think that my favorite activity is when we played with that parachute, because it was really fun when we were waving it up and down. I think the worst part of field day is when we played kickball. (Although, maybe it was how long it was played because I like kickball, but who wanrs to play it for 2 hours?). So, those are what I like and don't like about field day. I hope you all get a good idea about what to do for next year's field day! ~Andrew Vaquez~

hey andrew I totally agree about the kickball game and the parachute!!I think I wrote somthing like that on my page too!!!!! ~Caitriona~

I would like the kickball if it were more organized! !Chris!

These are President Obama's Cabinet members and positions. It's a bit long, so if you don't want to read it all that's okay by me. <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 130%;">Vice President: Joseph Biden Department of State: Secretary Hillary Clinton Department of the Treasury: Secretary Timothy Geithner Department of Defense: Secretary Robert Gates Department of Justice: Attorney General Eric Holder Jr. Department of the Interior: Secretary Kenneth Salazar Department of Agriculture: Secretary Thomas Uilsack Department of Commerce: Secretary Gary Locke Department of Labor: Secretary Hilda Solis Department of Health and Human Services: Secretary Kathleen Sebelius Department of Housing and Urban Development: Secretary Shaun Donovan Department of Transportation: Secretary Ray LaHood Department of Energy: Secretary Steven Chu Department of Education: Secretary Arne Duncan Department of Veterans Affairs: Secretary Eric Shinsek Department of Homeland Security: Secretary Janet Napolitano White House Chief of Staff: Rahm Emanuel Environmental Protection Agency: Administrator Lisa Jackson Office of Management and Budget: Director Peter Orszay United States Trade Representative: Ambassador Ronald Kirk United States Ambassador to the United Nations: Ambassador Susan Rice Council of Economic Advisers: Chair Christina Romer

Those are the Cabinet members and positions. I hope you know now all of the members and positions of the Cabinet. I'd hate to have done my work for nothing. ~Andrew Vasquez~

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">6/8/10 What I think was good about wikispaces, is that we got to ask people questions, and that we could look at other people's homework and comment/tell what we liked about it. What I think was bad about it, is that someone was messing around with wikispaces. What I think was beneficial about it, is that we got to ask questions if we didn't understand something while we were still at home! What I enjoyed the most about it is that we could check each other's work, and change the style, font, and color of our own work! Where improvements could be made would have to be, in the security, because Mrs. Flood could make an improvement to always see where the computer that the troublemaker is on( if the troublemaker is on guest) and then she could see which house the computer was in, so she could track down the troublemaker easily! I would like to continue using wikispaces, because we could tell people what we liked about their work. I think wikispaces helped me grow academically, because I not only had Mrs. Flood checking my work, but I had all of my peers! I think wikispaces made relationships with my peers and me, because at first I didn't communicate that much with my peers, but now I can communicate without even talking! I think wikispaces helped boost my self-esteem, because when people typed what they liked about what I typed, they typed in things like "Good job, Andrew!" I think Mrs. Flood can grow as an educator, by doing things like this more often, because this is fun, and we do our work! Mrs. Flood can improve her use of wikispaces, because maybe she could make us see the right answer sometimes after we are finished our reflection! ( Here is how it would work. When we are finished typing, if there is a right answer, an icon would pop up and say,"Do you want to see the answer? If you do, you cannot change your answer, and we will lock that answer so you can't change it!" Isn't it awesome?) So, that is every I think( good and bad) about wikispaces. See you in class! ~Andrew Vasquez~
