Bye, Adious, Chaow, Arvoir, 6th GRADE!!!!

    Hey! I am Tina and I will probably be here next year so here are some of the things about my school life.
1. What piece of work and learning are you most proud? Explain.
I think my most favored and proudest works were the diary entries because i really worked hard on them. I researched and planed out what I was going to write in them. And I creatively thought about the ideas to put in them.
2. What were your greatest challenges? Explain.
HOMEWORK!!! I am challenged with homework because I some times misinterpret things. Like when a home work is given I interpret it in the way that I understand it but sometimes it is wrong. The other thing challenging in my writing is spelling. I am very bad at spelling so if you see some words misspelled don't be so mad.
3. Reflecting on your growth this year, what did you learn about yourself as a learner?
I learned that I have some trouble with homework. I get it done but I struggle to finish it. I also like every thing to be organized, especially my locker, but sometimes I lose things. I also learned that I always compete with my friends on grades and I always want to do better than them.
4. To evaluate your work habits, choose 1 of the following from each category ( and provide explanations):
Behavior

Could be improved
Satisfactory:                        
Perfect - the model student

Explanation: I am well behaved almost most of the time but sometimes I can get a little hyper and forget things until someone snaps me back to reality.  

b) Participation

None
Satisfactory
Actively participate in class

Explanation: I always participate for every activity unless I don't know what people are discussing about so I ask in order to participate.

c) Organization

Needs serious help
Satisfactory
I'm super organized

Explanation: I highlighted both because I am always organized but some times I misplace things (thumb drives only.) Which makes me have to do all the work that is in it over again.

d) Effort

Needs serious help
Satisfactory
I always go above and beyond what is required.

Explanation: Again I highlighted both because if I really like the activity and I am good at it I tend to work extra hard on it But I always try to do my best.

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

Goal 1 - In Grade 7, I plan to get a 4.o on my grade average at the begining of the year and continue with that till the end. I want to get the best grades and averages. And I will achieve that by working and studying really hard and properly (No distractions).

Goal 2 - In Grade 7, I plan to work with people that I don't know. I want to work as best/well as I do with people that I know.

6.Is there any more information about yourself that you would like the teachers to know?
   I am very competitive. I like to do better than others and always try my best. But if they are way to good and I know I can't do better than them I give up. In other words I like challenges but if they are too above my level of challenging, I tend to hate them and look for some things that are easier and things I know I can accomplishes.(I give up!)

Help!!! Our EARTH is dying!!!

Hey Guys!
 You all know that our earth is having loads of problems right? And since our earth is having issues like deforestation, plastic bottles, and natural fuels running out, we really need to help save our earth right? Well here are some of my ideas to help the world a little. 
Like to minimize the rate of trees getting cut down/ deforestation we could reuse paper. And after reusing it we can recycle it. And for the improper usage of plastic bottles, we could all just buy our own bottles and  not buy plastic bottles every single day from shops and destroy our lovely  planet. Reusing plastic bottles is also very easy and important on helping save our earth. But out of all these problems the hardest to solve and the one we have to work together on is the usage of natural fuels.  The earth's natural fuels are running out and the only way to save our earth and our selves is to find another natural resource like solar power. Solar power never runs out except for at night but scientists can make something to reserve the power that it is getting in the day and apply it at night. Also since we use coal for electricity we could have the same type of earth hour each night the way we had one earth hour last month. Each family could organize one hour each night to turn of all electricity in the house. 
These are a few ways to help out the earth right at home. After all helping starts at home.
