One benefit of using worldregions wikispace is you can communicate with the teacher if you have a question. Another benefit is if you didn't copy down your homework than you can see it on here. A challenge is kids might not always have access to a computer. Another challenge is kids might have technical difficulties.

I completely understand the rules. Its pretty much saying not to say anything inappropite or harass anyone on wikispace. I don't know why anyone would even think about breaking the rules because if you do than you are going to be in a lot of trouble from the site and Ms. Flood. the rules are completely fair. They keep you safe. So I think everyone should be following the rules because htey are there to keep you safe.

__Arizonas imigration law__ the law is basically saying that if someone has entered the country illegally and the police get suspcious, tey can look at the persons immagration record and if they are here illegally then they go straight to jail. I tink the law is fair. One reason why I think that the law is fair is if the police get suspicious, they should be allowed to know wheither or not the person is here legally. Another reason is if you broke the law by coming here illegally then you should go to jail. The artical says that President Obama and Mexico's President Calderon are upset about Arizona's immigration law. Calderon thinks that the law makes migration criminal and it will be like discrimination. Obama is trying to stop illegal enterence and make the borders safer.

Tell me and i'll forget; show me and I may remember; involve me and I'll understand" This means that the person cant be told something like a lesson or they will forget. if you show them they might get ie, but you involve them they will understand. A way it relates to our classroom and assinments because we are always involved. we are always involved somehow like in wikispace,assinments, reaserch, and reflections. we can understand it better by doing this.

I think the next verse should be

we shall live in peace we shall live in peace we shall live in peace some day

I think that this years feild day was better than last years. I say this because the activities were more fun. some of the activities I liked were the races, the ice pops, eating outside, and the long jump. My favorite was the obstacle course because it was the funest. I didn't like the kickball game because we played it for 2 hours and after a while it got boring and the rules were kinda dumb. Also we had to rotate a little wierdly because there were 3 classes. This is what I think about feild day.
