The Internet – It’s Dangerous

The internet can be a dangerous place.

There are very inappropreate things all over the internet. People post weird, and bad, and gross, things. Please be careful when you are on the internet. However, the internet can also be fun to play on, play your fav. game, read your email, have fun! Just remember to be careful.

European Exploration

Why Did the Europeans decide to explore in the 1490s?

  • They wanted Gold and Spices
  • They wanted more Christianity
  • To find new routes and to know more about the world
  • The Turks took over Constantinople, so the Europeans had to find another way to the Indies.

 

Where King John Of Portugal wanted to sail:

King John wanted to sail the Indies, south not west around Africa

 Where Queen Isabella of Spain wanted To Sail?

She wanted to sail to the Indies. Christopher Columbus sailed west to find the Indies for her.

Wisdom vs. Intelligence

Intelligence                                                                                         

  • Smart                                                            
  • Knows a lot of stuff
  • Knows Facts                         
  • Is Good at problem solving
  • Is Good at helping people     

 

 

Wisdom 

  • Discerning
  • Humility
  • Right vs. Wrong  – Putting it into action 
  • Nice to people
  • Gets their wisdom from God

 

 

 

            Discuss Solomon’s Wisdom 

                 One night God told Solomon that he could have anything that he wanted. He could have wealth or fame or anything. Solomon asked God for wisdom. God was very pleased with Solomon and he gave him wealth and money. Solomon was very wise. One day 2 ladies came to his father and fought over a baby. They both said that they were it’s mother. Solomon’s father David again was very wise so he asked them to bring him a sword. He said “So you both say that you are the mother of this baby? We can just cut him in half and you can each have one half.” One of the ladies said “Ok lets do it!” but the other said “No No, You can have him I don’t want him to be cut in half.” And then David knew who the real mother was. That made David also intelligent he was good at solving problems. And he knew a lot of stuff. Solomon was David’s son Solomon came from a line of wise people, but they also made bad choices too. 

 

How can you apply this to your life?

I can apply this to my life because I need to trust in God and when people are wise it was a gift from God. People need God in their life. Or it is hard to live.

 

                                                                                                           

Market Day Reflection

  • Write about ONE thing you learned from COLLABORATION at Market Day.

It can be hard to work with your group but you need them to make your                                  business work. The people in your group help you!

  • Write about ONE thing you learned from CRITICAL THINKING at Market Day.

You need to make sure that you have a complete list of things that                   you are going to buy and the cost of it. If you don’t you may buy                                something that you don’t need and run out of money.

  • Write about ONE thing you learned from CREATIVITY at Market Day.

If you wanted to have a creative stand a market day that people would like then you had to have everything that people would like. A catchy slogan, A neat poster, a decorated stand with your products on the table and just stuff that makes people happy!

Write about ONE thing you learned from COMMUNICATION at Market Day.

You have to have good grammar skills – be ready to spell everything right, also, be ready to pay back the people that gave you money for your stand. If you don’t things will not be very pretty! My group dressed nice when we met the V.C. people.                                           Dress to impress!

  • What was the BEST thing about Market Day?

I was really happy that my parents came! It meant so much to me that they were there! I also had a lot of fun working with my group while we prepared for market day!

What is ONE thing you’d change if you had to do it again?

We made everything too complicated and we ended up doing a lot of work. We never really used our dance floor very much we were way too busy for it. I think that we would make it a little less complicated not too much though!

 

What is the MOST IMPORTANT thing you learned from Market Day? How will this impact your future learning?

  • I learned to work hard and get everything done but to also have fun while your doing it. Sugar Mania was a really fun group during market day and before I had so much fun with them but we also got some work done while doing it!

Market Day Reflection

                   Blog Post!

 

            List 3 highlights of the pitch:

 

  • We got a deal for the money!

  • The V.C. People liked our food samples!

  • Our deal was the exact money that we asked for.

 

         List 3 possible improvements

 

  • Organize the money part of market day a little better.

  • Plan everything earlier.

  • Don’t use so many details with market day – think smaller.

 

How would you prepare better if you had to do it again?

 

  • We would explain our cost better!

  • We would give them more information!

  • We would give them a better reason of why they would need to give them money.

What advice would you give next year’s 4th grade students?

 

  • Not to go over the top with ideas to make their stand better.

  • To give the V.C. people just the right amount of information, not too much but just right.

  • To be confident in what their product is and to remember that we are doing this for R.C.
