Introduction
Two things that I am good at are Math and Social Studies. Two things that I really need to improve on is to not procrastinate and to improve my writing skills for English Language Arts. My goal for the next 6 weeks of school are to do what I need to improve on so I can do better.

=Math=

Term 1 Reflection
I learned a lot of new things this year. I also remembered some of the old things i learned but forgot about. I learned more about rates, ratio and proportions this year. A rate is A comparison of two quantities measured in different units. A two-term ratio compares two quantities measured in the same units. A three-term ratio compares three quantities measured in the same units. I also learned about part-to-part ratios and part-to-whole ratios. Part-to-part ratios compares different parts of a group to each other. Part-to-whole ratios compares one part of a group to the whole group. A proportion is is An equation that says that two ratios or two rates are equal. I also learned about the Pythagorean relationship, where a²+b²=c². The Pythagorean relationship is the relationship between the lengths of th e sides of a right triangle. The sum of the areas of squares attached to the legs of the triangle equals the area of the square attached to the hypotenuse. The Hypotenuse is the longest side of a right triangle. It is always opposite of the right angle. We also learned how to square numbers and find the squareroots of numbers. Yes, I did all my work, except for commenting on blogs. I only commented on some blogs but not all of them. Other then that, I did all my work, all the homework book pages, the math book and making the blogs. This term, I will try to comment on all the blogs, and if I don’t understand something, I will ask Mr.Harbeck because he is the math teacher, if he taught us the lesson, he should know what to if i have a problem.

Term 2 Reflection
In term 2, we learned about 3 things. They were total surface area, percents and volume. We learned how to find the surface area of a triangle, cube, rectangles and cylinders. We also learned how to draw the net of an object. A net is what the shape looks like when you unfold it. It is kind of like peeling an banana. Finding the TSA for the shapes that we did was pretty easy for me. The only thing i made mistakes on were putting the units that they were supposed to be.

For percents, I did well on them too. When we were learning percents, we were pretty much just reviewing what we learned before. Like, we looked at how to convert fractions into decimals and percents. Decimals into fractions and percents. And percents into decimals and fractions.

I’m pretty sure I did really good on this term. This term was pretty easy for me. The only hard part for me, was remembering all the formulas to try and solve some questions. Like how to find the area of a cylinder just by using one formula. I was used to using separate formulas, first finding the area of the circle, then multiplying by two. Then finding the area of the rectangle for the circle. That’s how i did it. Next time, I am going to try and remember the formulas so it can be easier and quicker to solve some of the problems.

Simile Definition Card
Subject:English Language Arts TASK: What was I asked to do for this assignment? I was required to define "Simile" and draw an example I made

INTENT: Why am I completing this assignment? There are several reason why I am completeing this assignment. First I am learning a type of writing that can get a reader very interested. Then I learned that a visual can explain a lot. Lastly, I learned that you can be creative when drawing pictures CRITERIA: How do I know what I needed to do to be successful in completing this assignment?

NEXT STEPS:
 * Use proper grammar and examples
 * Use the whole definition card
 * Get the right definition
 * Use a good example


 * I can now try to inclide simile's in stories
 * I can now represent a simile with a drawing
 * I can now draw more creativly

Thank You Ma'am Illustration
Subject:English Language ﻿Arts TASK: What was I asked to do for this assignment? I was required to compose a friendly letter using information from a short story

INTENT: Why am I completing this assignment?There are several reasons I am doing this writing assignment. First I learned the elements of a short story and learned to identify them in our short story. Next we learned the components to write in a friendly letter format. Then we applied specific story details and wrote in first person as if we were a cjaracter from the short story.

CRITERIA: How do I know what I needed to do to be successful in completing this assignment?
 * Use proper friendly letter format refering to letter frame
 * compose the rough copy letter using specific details from the short story and write the letter from the perspective of one of the main characters in the story
 * Remember to use appropriate tone and audience for the letter
 * Complete all steps in writing process as set out in the assignment directions

NEXT STEPS:
 * I can now identify elemets of a short story
 * I can wrote a friendly letter
 * I can now use specific story examples to write a letter
 * I can now write in a frist person view point



Social Studies
TASK: What was I asked to do for this assignment? I was required to create a drawing of the Cro-Magnons in 4 different sections. Home, Social Structures, Food and Tools.

INTENT: Why am I completing this assignment? There are several reasons why I completed the illustration assignment. First of all, I now know I can demonstrate my knowledge through drawing instead of writing. 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 4 categories easily understood by the viewer (specific details) · Use all of the space provided and draw a scene from Cro-Magnon life · Finish the product(Color, outline, heading, sub-headings, layout  NEXT STEPS:   · I can now use a process to visually represent any time period in history    · I can now use a design element and layout techniques to do a drawing task    · I can now use an image to learn more about anything
