toc =Intoduction= Hey mom and dad! This is my portfolio page that contains some of my assignments that I have been working through this school year. I would like to share you my work such as Social Studies, Language Arts, Science and even Math with effort.

==Personal Reflection == > June.
 * 1) Two things I am good at are: Science (cells) and Math (cylinder)
 * 2) Two things I need to improve on are: Study harder for quizzes and tests. Also to keep my work neat.
 * 3) My goals for the next 6 weeks of school are: Getting good marks for our exams coming up on

Adult Response
 * 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**
What I learned in math for this term was ratio, rate, and proportion. At first I had no clue what to do in this unit. After we discussed this a lot I began to understand it very well, I started to enjoyed it, especially when we had to make a video about sesame street in tiny groups - it was fun explaining what those units are. After that unit we’ve moved on to Pythagoras. Same problem just like the first unit. Now, I understand it pretty well because I get the formula how to solve the right triangle problem. It was easy to follow the steps. But sometimes I kinda got messed up with the adding and subtracting thing because I didn’t know that you have to subtract a2 from c2 to equal b2. I guess I still have to work on that.

For this term, I did most of my homework. But sometimes, I can forget doing it by procrastination. I’m not like that all the time. Whenever the teacher says to finish the math homework book since it’s due tomorrow, I’ll finish it because I know they have to check if you’ve really done it.

What I will do better in term 2 is probably studying more harder. Usually I get a few mistakes but I’m trying my best to get the highest mark for math. Another thing I should do better for the second term is probably to listen carefully in class. At times, I can be sleepy or day dreaming - but not all the time. If I forget what we learned in class, that would be a problem and I’m sure I’ll be confused. Guess I should work on that.

Term 2 Reflection
What I did well on term two was the formulas of rectangular prisms and the cylinder. I enjoyed learning about this unit, especially finding out the volume of those three shaped prisms. I did well on finishing my blog posts on time with great effort. I also had a great imp rovement on my quizzes and tests.

What I had struggled through term two was a bit of the triangular prisms. I’m not sure why, but probably the formula that confuses me and calculating the wrong number of it. (eg. triangle multiply by the rectangle when it was supposed to be; triangle multiply by triangle; rectangle multiply rectangle) I also need to remember to draw and label the net properly for my quizzes and tests to achieve a better mark. Overall I had done well. <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;">What I need to improve on the next term is probably not to procrastinate on my homework that our teacher assigns us to. I know I had to remind myself countless of times - but it’s kind of like a habit. I’ll try not to do that again. That’s probably one thing I need to focus on. Another thing that I have to improve on is to boost up a better mark on my quizzes and tests. I'm still not very satisfied so I am trying my best to achieve higher marks next term. Also I need to pay more attention and discuss more when we are solving a problem in class. <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;">For the surface area and the volume, I learned how to multiply the area of the base and the height. I also had learned the formulas to find the answer to the question. The formulas help me a lot to understand the topic and I admit it was pretty easy for me. For percents I learned how to convert them into fractions. We used a ratio chart to solve the question. Next term, I'll try my best to achieve a better mark on math.

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: Tahoma; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">A) The opportunities and threats are faced by Canada’s forest and woodlands that I know was that it could cause endangerment of wildlife because people cut down trees for lumber. Another reason why is because they cut down trees was for more space to some urban areas.

<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;">3. 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: Tahoma; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">A) “The Man Who Planted Trees” relates to me because I remember the time when I was in kindergarten, our class was learning how to plant a tree and how to take care of one by having a white cup with soil, planting the seed in and watering it. It was important to us because trees gives us clean oxygen to breathe in. It relates to our school, Sargent Park because we often try to make a difference to the world in various ways, just like what Elzeard did - he planted trees - it was a big difference to the world. It relates to the local community because it helps to give them an idea to plant more and more trees - like a whole new generation.

What limits their ability to be “green“ was probably the weather. They cannot control for some certain things.

<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;">10. How do trees affect climate at a local and a global level? <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;">A) Trees affect climate at a global level because people can build any types of furniture. Trees keeps us alive by taking our carbon dioxide and transform it to clean oxygen to breathe in. Without trees, something will eventually affect the climate.
