My school year is going very well because I am getting a lot of stuff done and I think I have gotten some of my goals done since last SLC.
I think I have improved greatly because I think I am becoming more mature and I am getting more work done.
What stretches have you encountered this year? Some of my stretches have been staying on task, and talking to other people in class.
LIC
We have been learning about protest songs and we are going to make are own protest song in class very soon. (Hopefully, might not be done yet). we are doing this because our topic is Laws and Protests. We are also learning about how impeachment works, and the Ideal Gas Law.
My strengths in this class have been doing the science experiments because I have done a lot of then before.
My stretches in this class are taking notes because it is hard for me to write while there is a video playing
My plan to improve is to try to have a pen and paper or a computer ready
I feel that I have been putting in about a 8 ½ out of ten effort in this class so far.
I have been putting in my best effort in asking questions and answering the questions that come from the teacher.
My best piece in LIC will be my protest song.
I chose this piece because I will be working with Garageband and video editing and I really like doing that kind of thing.
I NEED TO BE CHANGED!!!
Math
We have been learning about fractions and rates and unit rates and long division with no calculators. I have been doing these things on my quizzes.
My strengths in this class have been long division WITHOUT a calculator because it helps with my mental math.
My stretches in this class are explaining some of the questions on quizzes, especially the ones that need more than one sentence.
My plan to improve is to either ask a teacher if the amount I write can be shorter or talk to someone and have them scribe for me. (Also ask a teacher).
I feel that I have been putting in about a 8 out of ten effort in this class so far because I get all of the home work and every thing done but I tend to talk a good amount.
I have been putting in my best effort in trying to get my quizzes done on time so I can hopefully have some time to review my answers.
My best piece in Math is my long division.
I chose this piece because I am getting really good at it.
ELA
We have been learning about how to do a “Deep Dive” story. We are also compiling all of our stories into one table because we are going to put them into one book at the end of the year.
My strengths in this class have been typing and NaNoWriMo
My stretches in this class are writing long sentences.
My plan to improve is to try to improve my vocabulary
(Also, I want to start doing typing games again).
I feel that I have been putting in about a 8 ½ out of ten effort in this class so far because i am really into some of my stories.
I have been putting in my best effort in my “Deep Dive” story because I am writing about my favorite car.
My best piece in ELA is my “Deep Dive” story
I chose this piece because I worked really hard on it
I have been learning about Minecraft, GameMaker, Coding in Scratch (for Math Honor Project) and, Yearbook. I like Minecraft and GameMaker the most because I play a lot of Minecraft and I like learning how to make a game.
I feel that I have been putting in about a 9 ½ out of ten effort in this class so far.
I have been putting in my best effort in my Minecraft survival world.
My strengths in this class have been Minecraft and GameMaker and Yearbook
My stretches in this class are trying to figure out what to code for My Honor Project
My plan to improve is to do some testing and to see what works and what doesn't
My best piece in Flow Lab is my Minecraft survival world
I chose this piece because I worked really hard on it and I need to get better at survival Minecraft.
