Introduction

 * Hello Leiza and Nina! This is my electronic profile that contains some of my work over this school year at Sargent Park. I'm going to share to you some of my work in different subjects such as Math, Science, L.A and Social Studies.**

** Personal Reflection **

 * 1) Two things I am good at are cells (SCIENCE) and writing (LA)
 * 2) Two things I need to improve on are do things right away and listening/ understanding
 * 3)  My goals for the next 6 weeks of school are studying harder for the upcoming exams and finishing all work in time for marking.

Adult Response
 * In looking at your work, I would like to compliment you on the following 2 things:

My Subjects

**Math**

Term 1 Reflection
Term one was fun for me and with all the new things i have enjoy learning.This term i have learned many kinds of different things. Some of the things I leaned this term was about rates, square roots, ratio, proportion, squares, and the Pythagorean relationship. We also got homework for math and I tried my best to finish it. If i don't understand what to do, I will go to Mr. Harbeck for help. I had some difficulties with square rooting and ratio and I took a long while to understand. But overall this term was great.

**Term 2 Refection**

This term was quite difficult for me, we have learned about Surface area, Percent, and Volume. On weekly test and quizzes i did fairly well. We also have leaned about representing percents by using hundred grids, fraction, decimals and percent. Finding percent of a number and also combining percent. I like converting fractions into a percent, because I like looking at percent in a different form. On to surface area, I understand doing surface area more than percent because I have found this unit very interesting and very easy at times. I done fairy well on my weekly test and quizzes. I also had trouble with some of the question from the homework book and the textbook during the unit when we were learning about volume.

My goals for next term. I will try to do better next term, by studying more for test and quizzes and completing all of my blog post. And I will also try to ask questions during class if I don't understand something. Lastly I have notice that asking question to your teacher and classmates can be very helpful.

Throughout the year I have completed assignments based on Assessment for Learning practices. The learning process has followed the three key components:

Subject: Social Studies TASK: What was I asked to do for this assignment? I was required to illustrate a four quad that visually presented the Cro Magnon life (food, home social structure and tools) and color it. INTENT: Why am I completing this assignment?

CRITERIA: How do I know what I needed to do to be successful in completing this assignment?
 * Visually represented 4 categories easily understood by the viewer (specific details)
 * Use all space and draw a scene from the Cro Magnon life.
 * Finish the product (color, outline, heading, subheading, layout)

NEXT STEPS:

2 Minutes To Make A Difference My topic is "Education For Girls In Afghanistan", because this issue really moved me due to the determination of the girls in Afghanistan would literally kill just to get a taste of education while some people in Canada take education for granted. Some of my "big" questions were "why won't the society of females in Afghanistan defend their rights to have access to education and prove to the male society in Afghanistan and the world, especially developing countries that females are qualified as a male?", and "What is the reason behind Afghanistan's society assuming that girls shouldn't receive an education?" Some key points that I think are important are:
 * an average of 58 students per class in an Afghan school compared to an average of 25 students per class in Canada
 * Afghanistan has the highest illiteracy rate in Asia
 * in rural areas of Afghanistan education is forbidden for girls
