ABOUT ME
My first name is Rebekah, I am in a Project Based Learning classroom not a Text Book Learning class, and I live in Idaho. We have done loads of projects, here are all of them: Newton's Cradle, Respect skit, Planter Boxes, Pay It Forward, Footbridge, Government Mural, Bio-me, Poetry, Native American Narrative, Let's Get Cooking, Timeline of the U.S., Flood Plan, Newspaper Article, City Comparison, Road Trip Map, and the Website. Whoa, that is a total of a whopping sixteen projects in ONE school year! We are a double classroom with 2 teachers and 56 students instead of 1 teacher with 30 students.
My favorite sports are baseball and hockey. My favorite color and food are silver and macaroni and cheese. My favorite books are Wings of Fire and Warriors. My favorite teachers are my 5th grade teachers because they didn't just give us answers on a silver platter, we actually had to look for the answer ourselves because that is an important life skill you need to know. My favorite project is the Website project because we got to create a website to teach people, the website you are looking at is the one I did for my project in 5th-grade.
My favorite animals are kittens and white tigers, my favorite type of cat is the Siamese. My favorite best friend is Bennett because we have a lot of the same likes. My second-favorite best friend is Coral because she is really nice to me. My favorite thing to do with Bennett is play chess because we both love chess. He beats me almost every time, I still beat him once in a great while. My favorite thing to do with Coral is trade Pokemon because we both love Pokemon and we both have them. My favorite Pokemon is Rayquaza, my favorite video game is Mine craft, and my favorite Star Wars character is Ray from The Force Awakens.
My dream is I really, really want to become a veterinarian one day, if I can't then my second choice is to become a paleontologist. I want to become a veterinarian because I really like animals and I want my job to involve animals. I could also become a paleontologist because I also really like dinosaurs, I find them interesting because we don't know that much about them and I really want to know more about these extinct creatures. Well, I wouldn't call extinct because they are with us today because they evolved into the majestic birds that roam the earth today.
I chose the basic math operations because I wanted people to learn about the basic math operations and put their knowledge into good use by taking that knowledge to school to use. In our class we have four class challenges, we don't have to follow them though, it is our choice. Class challenges: 1) Choose 2 days and dress your best, 2) Sit with someone you don't know and clear their trash for them, 3) LISTEN twice as much as you speak, and 4) Let your words be followed with action. I try to follow class challenge number three but sometimes I talk more that I listen.
