toc =Introduction= Hi Mom. This is my Portfolio. It contains some of my homeworks and projects. I would like to share some of my work to you such as Math and Language Arts. Hope you enjoy ! =Personal Reflection= I think I'm doing good in my quiz and tests. I need to study more and ask my friends or classmates to help me solve things. My goals for the next term is to speak in class, study more, and ask questions. =My Subjects= =Math=

Term 1 Reflection
What I have learned in Term 1? In Term 1, I learned about ratio, rate, and proportion. We also learned about square numbers, square roots, and the Pythagorean relationship.

Did you do all your work? No, I didn't do all of my work, because sometimes it's hard, and sometimes my blog post are late. What will you do better on Term 2? Maybe my blog posts, my assignments, and commenting to others work?

Term 2 Reflection
This term we learned about Surface Area, Percents, and Volume. I think I did well on Surface Area. Surface Area is a little bit easy. Percent is difficult because for me it’s hard to understand. This term my mark went up by 6 marks. I did well on my quizzes too.

I struggled in converting percents, but my friends help me and explain it to me. I did well on my tests too, but I think next time I need to study more.

Thanks to Trisha,Ysa and Jae Anne because they teach me this formula or shortcut how to solve Surface Area. It’s easier because I don’t have to do all the steps to solve it, and I also have time to study my answers and correct it.

I will try to do my best to get high marks on my tests by studying and asking questions. And I’m going to try to speak in class if I don’t understand the solutions and formulas. This term I realized that asking questions to your teacher and classmates is a good idea. =Language Arts=

"The Man Who Planted Trees."
Questions:

What opportunities and threats are faced by Canada’s forest and woodlands? The threats and opportunities that are faced by Canada’s forest and woodlands are the flooding, storms, and natural disaster.

How does The Man Who Planted Trees relate to us, to you, to the school and to the local community? The man who planted the trees relate to us because we plant trees too. And we believe that we can make a difference. Planting trees is a good thing, it’s like we are helping the environment.

What motivates people and organizations in their approach to the environment? Consider the following factors: money, publicity, votes, community benefits, prices and awards? What limits their ability to be “green”?

What are the different character’s attitude towards the forest?

On a global level we need oxygen, trees make carbon dioxide into something use like breathing.

Simile Definition Card
Throughout the year I have completed assignments based on Assessment for Learning practices. The learning process has followed the three key components: Subject: TASK: What was I asked to do for this assignment? INTENT: Why am I completing this assignment? CRITERIA: How do I know what I needed to do to be successful in completing this assignment? NEXT STEPS:

Cro Magnon Drawing


Subject: Cro Magnon Drawing Assignment TASK: What was I asked to do for this assignment? I was required to create a four quad drawing assignment that describes the Cro-Magnon life of food, tools, homes and social structures.

INTENT: Why am I completing this assignment? There are several reasons why I completed this drawing assignment. First, I know I can demonstrate my knowledge through drawing instead of writing. I also leanred 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 catergories easily understand by the viewer (specific details)
 * use all space and draw a scene from Cro-Magnon life
 * finish product (color, outline, heading, subheading layout)

NEXT STEPS:
 * I can now use a process to visually represent anytime period in history
 * I can now design element and layout techniques to do a drawing
