my response to the teachers

1. What piece of work and learning are you most proud? Explain.

I'm most proud of writing the script for Ancient Egypt, I thought it was fun and easy, because I like to act and write what I want to write.

2. What were your greatest challenges? Explain.
Math, I thought it was very complicated and challenging. After a while I think I get what I'm meant to do, but I can forget things after a while.

3. Reflecting on your growth this year, what did you learn about yourself as a learner?
I learned if I listen in class then things would be A LOT easier. I can put in more effort if I listen because I know what I'm going to do instead of asking someone that doesn't explain it properly.

4. To evaluate your work habits, choose 1 of the following from each category ( and provide explanations):

a) Behavior

Satisfactory. I listen in class sometimes, because it gets boring when the teacher keeps on speaking FOREVER and only stops until we have to do our work.

Explanation:

b) Participation

Satisfactory. I mostly participate in class, but it's either only when the Teacher calls on me, or if I know the answer to it.

Explanation:

c) Organization

I'm super organized. My locker is nice and tidy in the mornings, because I clean it out, but at the end of school its really dirty and I can't really find anything.

d) Effort

Satisfactory. I usually put effort into my work, it really depends on what I am doing, if its something that is due in a long time then I can put a lot of effort into it, but if its something that is due the next day and is hard to understand then I cant really put as much effort into it.

5. Based upon your reflections, write two personal learning goals for Grade 7 next year.

Goal 1 - In Grade 7, I plan to listen a lot more to the Teachers while they are talking and explaining what to do.


Goal 2 - In Grade 7, I plan to put effort into work, and put a long time doing it.


6.Is there any more information about yourself that you would like the teachers to know?

How do we save the Earth?

How do we save the Earth? It may sound easy and very simple, but it isn't. Taking care of the Earth means BIG responsibilities, for example turning off your air con when your not using it, turning off the T.V. when its not needed, taking out your charger for your laptop or anything when it has full battery, and maybe turning all your lights off when there not being used in the daytime (you shouldn't have them on in the day anyway, you have the sun, unless your in a VERY dark room that you cant see in). We can also use the 3 R's, Reuse, Reduce, Recycle. And lastly I think we should have Earth hour 3 times a week, for 1/2 an hour, because 1/2 an hour once a year! If we have Earth hour 3 times a week then the Earth would have a lot more then 30 mins a year!


If there is anything that is not in useful to you anymore, then you can always give it to a younger sibling, or someone thats in need. Reduce, we can reduce the amount of trees that are cut down by using computers more, and instead of printing out work we can send it to the person that needs it. We also can save power by turning off everything that is not in use.

That is how I think WE can save the Earth :)
