toc =Introduction= Hi! Mom and Dad. This is my electronic profile that contains some of my work over this school year at Sargent Park. I'm going to share you some of my work in different subjects such Math, Science, L.A and Social. ==Personal Reflection ==
 * 1) Two things I am good at are volumes (math) and cells (science)
 * 2) Two things I need to improve on are do things right away instead of procrastinating and not forget things at home. (more organized)
 * 3) My goals for the next 6 weeks of school are to study harder for the upcoming exams in June and get all of my work done for marking.

Adult Response
Being good in art and you understand what exactly you are doing. motivating you to keep on doing things that makes you a better student.
 * In looking at your work, I would like to compliment you on the following 2 things:
 * In the last 6 weeks of school I will help you reach your goals by:

Term 1 Reflection
In term 1 I first learned the units about rates, ratios and proportion. With the help of the pink paper that I wrote on to write the key ideas and the examples of the unit’s topic and the sesame street video that me and two of my friends creates which talks about rates, ratios and proportion. I was able to do well on the three quizzes plus the unit test and as well as get a good grasp on the topic. The next unit I learned was squares, square roots and pythagoras. With the help of the calculator, the scribes, Mr. Harbeck, friends, doing the textbook work and practice. I think I truly understand this unit and I learned a lot.

I did the work the work I was supposed to do such as making a scribe post comment on people’s scribe and finish my homework.

To do my better on Term 2, I need to practice more problems solving, look at the questions on problem solving carefully and do exactly what it asks me to do and study harder for upcoming quizzes and exams.

Term 2 Reflection
I did really well on the units we did this term 2. Percents, volume and surface area are pretty easy for me to understand and learn and because of that my quizzes and tests results got higher than my results from last term. I was able to accomplish my goal from last term which is to study and practice more so I could improve my mark and I did. I worked harder and practice more answering questions from the book and so my grade this term went from 85 to 92 and I’m really proud that my hard work and effort paid off.

Well to be honest I didn’t really struggle on any of the units we did. Sure there were some questions from the book that throw me off and confuses me but after less than 12 hours with a little bit of complaining, some screaming and restless pacing I started to get it and finally answer the question.

To do better next term, I just have to keep up my good work and I have to speak up more in class which my teacher suggested.

In our units this term which are percents, surface area and volume. I’ve learned how to convert fractions into decimals or percents or the other way around. I’ve also learned that using a ratio chart when converting really helps and it’s quite convenient. For the surface area and volume I’ve learned the formulas for finding the surface area or volume of a rectangular prism, triangular prism, cylinder and cube needed to solve the questions.

Integers
Test Correction: I got 6 questions wrong but the one I had the most trouble with was question 8 in multiple choices. I was confused with the way it was organized and so I assumed that it was organized in a way that wasn't right resulting me making a mistake and got the wrong answer. It's kind of hard to explain how I got it wrong and how I finally got it right so here's I did the work instead of explaining it with words. * Somehow I did the work in a unexplainable way. 8. Evaluate -8 -3(-2 -1)

Here's how I got it wrong: -8 - 3(-2 -1) -7 (1)= -5

Here's how I finally go the right answer: -8 - 3(-2 -1) -8 -3(-3) -8 - (9)= 1

What opportunities and threats are faced by Canada’s forest and woodlands? <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Canada’s forest and woodlands are facing the threats of deforestation or cutting too much trees, ruining the forest. Since most of Canada’s land consists of inhabited forest, some people set their eyes on destroying this forest for their own satisfaction (expansion of their lands, building homes, properties, etc. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">3.How does The Man Who Planted Trees relate to us, to you, to the school and the local community? <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The Man Who Planted Trees relate to us because there are selfless people int he world like Elzeared Bouffier who devoted themselves in preserving the environment. This relates to me because I was once part of this ecological group in my old school when I was in elementary. We were given this little pine trees to plant. I gave mine to my other classmate because I don’t have any space to plant a trees that will grow really big but I did help out with the planting. This relates to my school, Sargent Park had been doing a lot in helping the environment while inspiring and teaching us students a lesson about how important the ecosystem is and contributing in preserving it. This relates to my local community because there have been numerous activities involving protecting the trees and other things related to that in my community. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">5.What motivates people and organizations in their approach to the environment: Consider the following factors: money, publicity, votes, community benefits, prizes and awards? What limits their ability to be “green”? <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Most people get motivated when money, prizes, awards or benefits were involved. People will get more involved when events are fun. When people think about it, they know they can gain something while at the same time they are contributing for the good of the environment. What limits their ability to be “green” is that when people decide things to buy or throw they often forget how it would affect the environment and instead think about how it would satisfy their needs. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">6. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">What are the different character’s attitudes towards the forest? <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Jean - suportive and observant <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Charcoal Burners - uncaring and inconsiderate <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Elzeard Bouffier - selfless, devoted, determined and caring <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Government Officials - egotistical and haughty <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Member of Parliament - disinterest and insensitive <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Timber Merchant - aloof and passionless <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Villagers - ignorant and oblivous

How do trees affect climate at a local and global level? <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Trees can affect many things greatly at a local or global level. We take trees for granted that sometimes we abused it. Trees are responsible for many wonderful things such as making oxygen for us and take in carbon dioxide. Some trees grow fruits (food that we could eat) and many more. Without trees there will be chaos around the world. Floods would be more frequent, global warming will increase, we won’t have trees to give us oxygen and take in carbon dioxide. There are many other disaster could happen without trees so that’s why we need to know how are actions would affect the trees and its consequences.

=Practical Arts= =Computer= =French= =Art= =Health= =Physical Education= =2 Minutes to Make a Difference= My topic is about Poverty in Winnipeg. My big questions are: 1. I wonder what's it like to live in poverty? How does it feel 2. How does poverty in Winnipeg affect everyday lives? 3. Is poverty in Winnipeg a major issue? If so what is being down? 4. What is the government of Winnipeg doing to help the people who were suffering from poverty? 5. What can we do to help the people in need in our city? 6. How long has poverty been around in Winnipeg? Has is become more or less severe? Some of the key points I have researched in my topic are the statistics of how many people live in poverty here in Winnipeg and how we could help these people. My group and I have all the nescessary things for our video so we just have to organize it and put it together. The project will be due early May after Student Led Conferences. media type="custom" key="8189844"
