My Winter Vacation SR

2009-02-20T00:21:00.000-08:00

First we stayed in Dushanbe for one week and celebrated Christmas with Sandra and Brian’s family. (Brian is Kian’s friend.)Then we went to Istanbul and stayed there for three nights in a very relaxing hotel named Swissôtel but it was very bad weather and I was sick all the time. We also went to the Galatabridge and ate fresh fish. Then we took the plane to Iran. (I was very sad that day because it was New Year and we were in the plane.) We went to my grandfather’s house in Esfahan (a city in Iran) and stayed there for one week. In Tehran (another city in Iran) we went skiing on the mountains for three days, which was fun! After that we went to the city and visited our friends we knew from Vienna (in two days). At last, we of course went home!

Washington

2009-02-13T01:03:00.000-08:00

If I could go anywhere in the world, I would go to America because I want to go to Washington to see the white house. Because I already know English.

When I grow up I want to be a vet because I love animals and I like taking care of them.

Or a journalist because I can write about things. Or a author because I can write story’s.

When I grow up i want to be a vet for wild animals or a secialist vet for horses. Or maybe I will be a harchitect, or a piano player, or a artist. But I really want to be with animals to be inspired by. I think I want to be a vet in Africa,in senegal because it is my favorite country. And also because many animals needs help over there.

What I Did This Weekend (C.J)

2008-11-17T00:29:00.000-08:00

This weekend was fun. I watched a movie. I played with my cat Jack. I went to lunch with my friend. I drove around Dushanbe.

The week was fun. (K.O.)

2008-11-17T00:17:00.000-08:00

This week was fun because I went to basketball. We hadn't had basketball for more than 4
weeks. We had some drills, and then a game. We won with the score 14-8. It was extremely
fun, with the ball flowing to each end of the courts. I'm sure that the others liked it too.

May 12 - Post Your Art so the World Can See it!

2008-05-06T01:44:00.000-07:00

Greetings everyone,

You're first going to take a typing test to see if your typing speed and accuracy has improved. Then, you will post one of your "paintings" to our new flickr account, which IO and KO created. Once you have done both of those things, there are some other accounts to create. SR – add one more educational web site to del.icio.us/qsidushanbe before doing anything else.

Part 1
Feel free to practice typing if you want to, otherwise, go straight to the test. Please take the next 2 levels (or more if you want to). If your scores are higher, go go to Part 2. If your scores are the same or lower, practice typing for another 10 minutes.

Part 2
Pick a picture and post it! Remember that all images need to be small enough and in a format that can be seen on the internet. Also, make sure that only one person is posting an image at the same time. When you have finished posting, log out, or close flickr. Here are step-by-step directions:

Find a painting you created using MS Paint. If you don’t already have one, create one.
Using MS Picture Manager, resize your painting so that it's small enough to put up on the
internet (less than 100 KB. 50-60 KB is best). Ask me to check before uploading it.
Upload your artwork to flickr. If you have questions regarding how to log in, ask IO or KO.
Be sure to include your initials as part of the title.

Things to do when you’ve finished:

Change the template of this blog
Go to http://www.blogger.com/ and login using the same information you use to log into our gmail email account. See if you can figure out how to change the template on your own. Ask me if you still have questions after you have explored a bit.

Create a new gmail account, that we will use to create a class blog. The user name should be qsiblog@gmail.com and the password: dushanbe

Create a class blog. Once the new gmail email account has been created, someone else needs to create your class blog. To do so, go to http://www.blogger.com/ and follow the directions.

Remember: Have fun!

Cheers,

Ms. Dixon

Educational Web Sites to post on del.icio.us

2008-04-03T01:41:00.000-07:00

Hello QSI Students!

Your task today is to find an interesting and useful EDUCATIONAL web site. Please! no game or non educational sites allowed. There are a variety of sites for you to explore listed below.

Before you begin, open a new Notepad document and save it to your folder as "Web Sites". When you come across web pages that interest you, copy the URL (Ctrl + c) and then paste it into your web site document. You can save as many educational web sites as you like, but I'd like you to find at least 3 sites of interest.

For each web site, please include the following information:

1) The URL (the exact web site address of the web page that you selected)

2) A brief description of what you can learn from the web page

3) A longer description that explains why you like the web site

You can type all this information in your Notepad document so that you just need to copy and paste it when you post the URLs to www.del.icio.us

Happy exploration!

Educational Web Sites

(Note: About.com and Wikipedia.com are web sites that contain a great deal of information about many different subjects. You will need to explore until these sites until you find a particular page that interests you. The other web sites are web portals, basically lists of other web sites.)
