Last Monday in class we had speaker in class. She was speaking about the different beaches in Corpus Christi. I am not originally from Corpus Christi, I only been here a couple of years. I was amazed how the beaches were formed, and some beaches i did not even know they exist.

finishing up service project

This project was time consuming. I was one of the lucky ones I got a great group, and we help each other. I am glad we did this project I only did the slidshare and storyboard. I wish I had more time in my schedule to meet with the student we had in our group, and meet my group members.

Spreadsheet

Spreadsheet will be useful in the classroom for experiments, mathematics, or other subjects. This tool may be difficult for others, but with a little guidance the children will benefit from using spreadsheet. With the spreadsheet if the class assignment is science we will have a project. By collecting our data, and importing the data into a spreadsheet. With the data the classroom collected your classroom can form a graph. In mathematics using a pie graph can demonstrate the use of fractions.
