Term 1 Math
In term 1 I learned I learned about Ratios, Rates, Proportions and Pythagoras. One thing I didn’t know about was the pythagoras. I learned that the pythagoras is learning about triangles. The triangle has right angle and a side called the hypotenuse. To get the hypotenuse you need to know the length of the legs. When you know the length you could find the hypotenuse by leg2+leg2=hypotenuse2. Then you square root the answer and you get your hypothenuse. I had a very hard time with this at first but it got very easy for me. If you need to find the leg you need to subtract the hypotenuse2 from the other leg and you need to find square root of the answer. This was kind of difficult for me but I figured it out. I also learned that you could use pythagoras for finding the distance between something.

I did all my work this term, except for the math video. I think if I was with different partners I would of finished the math video and other assignments.

In term 2 I will try to get all the assignments done, even if we get video assignment again. I will also try to comment on all the scribe posts in the math blog. I think if I listen to the teacher more would of finished earlier with my group.

Term 2 Math
In term 2 I learned about 3 things. We learned about surface area of a rectangular prism, triangular prism, and a cylinder. I also learned about the volume of the two prisms and the cylinder. We also learned about percentage. One thing I kind of had problems with was mostly finding the surface area of a triangular prism because it has 2 shapes. The easiest part was finding the volume. I almost got 100% on all the quizzes this term.

 This term I finished all my assignments except for commenting on other people’s blogs. I did very well in the section of volume. I completed all my math work and I will continue to do so.

 In term 3 I will study even more than I do usually. Next term I will try to comment more. I will also try to make more better blog work. I will try to get even better grades for this subject and also the other subjects as well. I will try to finish all the textbook pages I am assigned in class.

Thank You Ma'am Friendly Letter
I was required to compose a friendly letter using information from a short story. There are several reasons I am writing this 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 a friendly letter format. Then we applied specific story details and write in the first person as if we were a character from the short story. -Use proper friendly letter format referring to letter frame. -Compose the rough copy letter using specific details form the short story and the write the letter from the prospective of the main character of the story. -Remember to use appropriate tone and audience for the letter. -Complete all steps in the writing process as set out in the directions. Upon completion of the assignment I can now... - I can now identify elements of a short story - I can write a friendly letter - I can apply specific story details - I can write as if I were the character from the story

 2. What opportunities and threats are faced Canada’s forest and woodlands?  Some of the opportunities that Canada’s forest and woodlands are that they can be cut down for lumber and used to create space for development of urban societies. Some of the threats that Canada’s forest and woodlands face are endangerment of wildlife, more pollution, and Canada’s natural environment becoming scarce.

3. How does The Man Who Planted Trees relate to us, to you, to the school and to the local community? The Man Who Planted Trees relates to us because there are people in the world that will think only in the present and not in the future. For example the government official only wants the trees for his own conceited, lying ways by using it for lumber for the vehicles used for the First World War. The Man Who Planted Trees relates to me because when I was in elementary I planted a tree around our school with my classmates just like Elzeard Bouffier. The Man Who Planted Trees relates to Sargent Park School because we students at Sargent Park always try to make a difference in various areas. For example just recently each classroom donated a Christmas Hamper for a chosen family. The Man Who Planted Trees relates to the local community because us members of the community try to preserve our natural resources, like our trees for the future generation’s uses just like how Elzeard’s plan for planting trees built a community in the future.

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”?  Answer: Money, publicity, votes, community benefits, prizes and awards motivate people and organizations in their approach to the environment because they feel like running a marathon with a prize waiting at the end is the feeling of accomplishment that they tried to help the environment and while doing so they receive a prizes, money, publicity, etc. Their ability to be green is limited because they can’t control certain things for example the weather. The weather controls when and where to rain or the sunshine.

How do trees affect climate at a local and a 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 affect climate at a local level because it’s used as lumber for fires and is used to make things like furniture. Trees affect climate at a global level because it transform our waste, carbon dioxide into something useful, clean oxygen for us to breath better.
