Eagle 500

Our team was the mario metro, because we built a car like the mario kart. It was really fun to participate in this race with mario hats 😀

We were calculating things such as the unit rate, team rate, individual rate,  and so on. We also converted minutes and seconds into seconds to calculate the rates and ratios.

We will probably not add 0.1 to our predicted time because we definitely were WAY faster than our predicted time. And, also, to not panic and take things slowly, and count your time aloud by yourself to be more accurate to your predicted time. 

We used minutes, seconds, and for distance, s/m, or seconds per meter.  It is important to say seconds per meter because distance is calculated by speed/time. The groups that did not have units had a hard time caculating the rates because they were unsure weather it was seconds per meter or meter per seconds.

Welcome to Your New Portfolio!

Why have a digital portfolio at SAS?

Creating a portfolio, or blog is a great way to collect all the work you’ve done throughout your academic career. You can include academic, athletic, and personal artifacts or experiences that you want to share with a wider audience. This is a great way to organize all your learning in one place and you can take it with you when you leave SAS.  When you make your portfolio, you create posts that are categorized according to your subject. Some categories have already been set up for you, but if you need more categories you can add them as needed. It’s important that your posts have the following:

  • An engaging title – this should not include the name of the subject since this is referenced in the category. Think of this as the first opportunity to engage and hook your reader!
  • Body – this is where you share your learning. This should include a combination of text and media in the form of images, graphics, and embedded videos. You should always consider how your post looks to your audience. Is it engaging and organized? Do they want to keep reading?
  • Category – select one that has been set for you or add a new category. Posts can have more than one category e.g. Humanities and Myself as a Learner
  • Tags – create tags that can be used as keywords to describe your post. Tags help organize your post a little more! Aim to have 3-5 tags for each post. For example, if you are posting about a novel you wrote, you might want the following tags: #Fiction, #MurderMystery, #Theme, #PlotDiagram
