5th Grade | isabels-e-portfolios

Hello, my name is Isabel. I go to Adventure STEM, a program on a middle school campus with grades 5 through 8. It allows fifth and sixth graders to experience a middle school education earlier. Adventure students have the advantage of using technology in school. This will help them in the future. Adventure has many group work projects and presentations to work on collaboration and confidence.

Adventure has lots of fun classwork, homework, and projects. An example of a project was the Planning a zoo project. In this project, we had to calculate the area needed for the animals exhibits and place them. An example of some homework is Zondle. Our science teacher assigned us to do at least 20-30 minutes studying on Zondle. Zondle is a website with games that ask you questions about science. Adventure does not have much homework that takes a long time. Most homework assigned takes about 20 minutes.

My favorite subjects are science and PE. I like science because it is very important and interesting. I like PE because I get to learn new sports and exercise. Other subjects taught in Adventure are Language Arts, Social Studies, and Mathematics. I think it is fun and exciting to have a middle school schedule because we get to switch classes. Another thing I like about Adventure is we get to use technology. Technology is fun and educational.

There is lots of technology at Adventure. One technological device we commonly use are laptops. Students do most of their homework, class work, and sometimes projects on laptops. Students don't have to worry about losing or forgetting their homework. All they have to do is log in the Schoolloop or Edmodo and check for new assignments. Using technology is also fun and prepares students for the future.

Adventure is a great program that has lots of fun and interesting ways of learning. Students can learn things they might have never learned elsewhere. Adventure prepares students for the future by using technology, and assigning lots of projects. In conclusion, Adventure STEM is a program with new learning styles.
