[|Term 2 Reflection]
In term 2 I've learned a lot about 3 D Shapes and the formulas for finding there volumes and areas. EX: Volume of Cylinder =Pi x Radius x Radius x Height, Area of Prisms = Length x Width, Volume of Rectangular Prism = Length x Width x Height. We also had to learn how to make nets, 3 D shapes.

I mostly struggled on the formulas because there were a lot of them and I had to remember all of them, but with some practice I finally remembered all of them.

Next term I will try to focus on my homework and study more about what we will learn. I will also try to get my grades higher and continue doing a good job on tests.

I've learned so much from term 2, that the surface area of a shape is the sum of all the areas and c an and can determine the Surface Area and Volume of a 3 D shape. And that Volume is the amount of space a 3 D shape has, and probably a lot more about 3 D shapes.

The Man Who Planted Trees Questions

3.) The Man Who Planted Trees relates to us because we need trees to live and without as many trees there are now in the world things could not of been created like houses or boats. We go our natural resource from trees, which is wood.

5.)The thing that motivates people and organizations is that when you plant more trees you get more resources, like wood. For money rise they would buy and sell the resources, publicity wise they would create more buildings and objects with the resources, it benefits the people because they will have a nice and healthy environment. Their limits to their ability for “green” is that if they take to many trees down it gives us less to use.

6.) Jean is a man who really cares and takes care of the environment that he is in. The charcoal burners do not really care, as long as they get paid for what they do then they are happy. Elezeard Bouffire is the most caring person about the environment, he takes care of it and plants more seeds for more trees to grow. Member of Parliament only cared really about the money, he doesn’t care about the environment, he just wants money. Timber merchants need the trees for wood they break down the environment by taking a lot of trees down. Villagers care about their environment, because it is where they live, they like the affects of how the environment looks that surrounds them.

10.) The trees affects the climate at a local and a global level because it affects us, the way we live, and the items we obtain. With out any trees or plants we would all be dead, trees gives us oxygen to breath, the more trees the better.

Friendly Letter
Dear Mrs. Jones, I’m sorry for trying to steal your pocketbook and for how I acted. I just needed some money to buy a pair of blue suede shoes that I saw, but I’ve realized that it wasn’t the right thing to do. I couldn’t afford them and needed some money to help myself, it was a chance for me to get some money. I want to thank you for giving me food and for spending your precious time with me. At first I thought you were a bad person, instead you took care of me, others wouldn’t even bother to help me. I know how you felt about me, and because of you I’ve changed and got my own pair of blue suede shoes. I am truly sorry for the trouble I have caused. You taught me a valuable lesson I’ll never forget. Thanks for the advices you told me and for being a nice person. Sorry if I forgot to thank you before I left, I wish we could meet again. “Thank you ma’am.” Sincerely yours, Roger
