toc =My Subjects= Hi! This is my portfolio containing some of my works in Math, Language Arts, Science and Social Studies over the year. We have done many works this year and we put some of our works here to show you what we are doing here in school. This year, two things I'm good at are ﻿in quizzes and some test on Math and Science. Two things I need to improve on are memorizing some formulas in Math and my grammar mistakes when we're working on paragraphs in Language Arts. My goals for the next 6 weeks of school are focusing on every subjects I have for our big exam. I will also study Science, Language Arts, Social Studies And Math for important notes.

Term 1 Reflection
What did you learn? In Term 1, I learned many things like Ratio, Rate, Proportion. Square rooting, squaring and Pythagoras Theorem are some of the lessons I learned also.

Did you do all your work? I didn’t do all my work in term 1. Some of the questions need more computations to show and some of them are difficult. And I didn’t blog everyday for comments.

What will you do better in Term 2? For term 2, I’ll do all my work better to improve it. I won’t be lazy to do all my work. I’ll try to blog more often to understand more about the lessons we learned. I will study everyday to get better grades and I’ll try to speak more at discussing time.

Term 2 Reflection
In Term 2, I’ve learned about percent, surface area and volume. The lesson that I’m good and did well at is I think finding the surface area and volume of rectangular prism, and triangular prism because I know the formulas and how to do it.

I struggled on converting percents because I always forgot how to convert them to decimal or fraction. I don’t know why I found it difficult to convert when we’re discussing about that but now, I really know how to convert percents into decimal and fraction. Next time, if we’ll take about percents, I won’t forgot how to convert them so I won’t struggle or fail Math just because of percents.

We learned about converting percents and adding percents to another. I also learned the formuas on hoe to find the surface areas and volume of rectangular prism, triangular prism and cylinder. I think I like this term better than on the first term.

Test Mistake
I made a mistake on number 8.

Evaluate -8 - 3(-2 - 1).

My answer was.. -8 - 3(-2 - 1) = -8 {- 3(-1)} = -8 + 3 = **-5**

I got confused on (-2 - 1) because I thought that it was -2 minus 1 so, my answer was -1. It was supposed to be -3 because it was like this, (-2) + (-1). Then I multiply -1 to -3 and I got 3. I added 3 to -8 and got -5. The real answer was 1: -8 - 3(-2 - 1) = -8 - 3(-3) = -8 + 9 = **1**

Throughout the year I have completed assignments based on Assessment for Learning practices. The learning process has followed the three key components: Subject: English Language Arts Short Story - "Thank You Ma'am" by Langston Hughes 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 story. Next, we learned the components to write in a friendly letter format. Then, we applied specific details and wrote in the first person as if we were a character from the shot story.

CRITERIA: How do I know what I needed to do to be successful in completing this assignment?
 * use proper Friendly Letter format referring 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 the writing process as set out in the assignment directions.

NEXT STEPS:
 * I can now identify elements of a short story.
 * I can write a friendly letter.
