Term 1 Reflection
What did you learn in term 1? In term 1, I learned about ratio, rate, and proportion. I also learned about square numbers and finding their square roots. Also, I learned more about the Pythagoras Theorem.

Did you do all your work? No, I didn’t do all of my work, because some works are long and I don’t comment on blogs everyday. Sometimes I also get confused and I usually forgot what to do.

What will you do better in term 2? I will study hard in term 2 and try to finish all my works. I will try to be more responsible and attentive to the things I have to do. I will also comment on blogs regularly.

Term 2 Math Reflection
In term 2, I learned about surface area,volume, and percent. I think I did well on surface area and volume. I find it easy to memorize the formulas. I struggled on some word problems involving volume. Some questions were really confusing and I can’t solve them. I also struggled on converting some units. I would do better next term by practicing more. I will also comment on blogs more often. I will try to participate in class to improve my grades. I learned how to solve surface area and volume of prisms. I learned how to apply percents, surface area and volume in my daily life

I made 3 mistakes on the test and I chose to show this question to you...

Short Answer B. -6-3x2=-6[-3(2)] =-6-6 =-12

I was careless and I subtracted the two -6's instead of adding them. I got 0 and not -12. This is what I did.

-6-3x2=-6-[(3)(2)] =-6-(6) =0 Parent Quiz

The Man Who Planted Trees

What opportunities and threats are faced by Canada’s forest and woodlands? <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Comic Sans MS; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">There are some alien species of insects which threatens Canada’s forests. Usually, these species were accidentally moved by humans whenever they trade products. Since they don’t have a natural role in the forests’ renewal cycle, they have usually no predators, diseases or other natural forces in Canada to control their population. Somehow, native insects also pose a threat to Canada’s forests. Another threat to Canada’s forests are forest fires. Human activities contribute to spreading forest fires. Some were caused by recreational activities; some were caused by industry. Climate change disturbs the balance in the forests’ ecosystem. Changes in precipitation and temperature will make forests warmer and drier in the future-because of this, forest fires will increase. There were also hot, dry summers and warmer winters which led to pest epidemic.

How does The Man Who Planted Trees relate to us, to you, to the school, and to the local community? <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Comic Sans MS; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">This story proves to us that when a person is determined to make a change, that person will surely succeed. When someone is dedicated to do something good, there would be nothing that could stop him/her. Elzeard was determined to make a change that he was able to transform a barren land into a land flowing with milk and honey. Elzeard didn’t do this in just one snap. He worked hard to accomplish whatever he had done. We could also make a change like Elzeard. It doesn’t have to be big, but we could always work together to make the world a better place to live in.

Cro-Magnon Drawing Assignment


Subject: TASK: What was I asked to do for this assignment? I was required to make a 4-quadrant poster showing the tools, home, foods and social structure of Cro-Magnons.

INTENT: Why am I completing this assignment? There are several reasons why I completed the illustration assignment. First, I now know I was demonstrating my knowledge through drawing. I also learned to organize my information into categories about Cro-Magnon life. CRITERIA: How do I know what I needed to do to be successful in completing this assignment?
 * visually represented four categories easily understood by the viewer ( specific details )
 * use all spaces and draw a scene from Cro-Magnon life
 * finish the product ( color, outline, heading, subheadings, layout )

Next Steps:
 * I can now use a process to visually represent any time period in history.
 * I can now use design elements and layout techniques to do a drawing task.
 * I can now organize visual representations.
