= = My Subjects

This year at Sargent Park School had been a great year. I learned and discovered new things from different subjects. Two things I’m really good at are finding the surface area and the volume of an object and participating in class discussions. However, there are things I need to improve on. Two things I need to improve on are Order of Operations and composing an evaluation and relate paragraph for my EPLORE response. My goals for the next 6 weeks are finishing my work earlier and try to avoid procrastinating. Also, I want to improve on solving math problems mentally and composing a piece of writing with more specific details and explanations.

Term 1 Reflection
Term 1 has been a great success for me. I started off learning how to solve problems by using __simple sentence, math information, and outrageous answer.__  It helped me to answer problems easier and more organized. Next thing we learned was about __ratio, rate, and proportion__ . We wrote the definitions of ratio, rate and proportion and gave examples for each of them in our pink sheet. Also, we made a Sesame Street video about our lesson and made two versions, Filipino and English version. It was my favourite activity we did in term 1 because I found it fun and creative, yet a bit frustrating, which made it challenging. Our class also talked about __squaring numbers and square root__ . I learned the formula which helped me a lot and then we discussed it in class and did textbook works. Mr. Harbeck taught us how to use __prime factorization__  to determine if a number is a __perfect square or a not perfect square__ . I also learned __Pythagoras__  and its formula. We labelled the triangle with legs and hypotenuse. The 2 shorter lines are called legs which is labelled A and B, and the longer line is called hypotenuse which is labelled C. Its easy but solving problems made me struggle a bit. Another lesson I learned was about <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">__Percents__ <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">. I learned a lot from it like doing a ratio table. That technique made solving problems easier.

I used my notes and assignments as my study sheet so I could pass tests and quizzes. On my math blogs, I make sure that I always include links, videos, and pictures yet, make it informative. Also, I read my classmate’s blog and leave a comment afterwards.

Also, I’ll try and comment on other class' blog. I will study even more to get higher marks and try my best on every class.

Term 2 Reflection

My marks are pretty good and I found it easy to understand. I am able to answer questions by myself and could explain it to my peers. However, I struggled a bit and got confused on some parts but I understood it right away. Also, in Surface Area, I had difficulties on making a net for a rectangular and triangular prism.It made me think but at the end, I learned from my mistake and I am able to draw it independently without help from others. Finding the area of the cylinder made me struggle too because we have to do so much calculating. I could do better in next term by doing my work earlier and try to not procrastinate. I should also ask questions if I don’t understand the problem so I could learn how to do it and to solve it by myself next time.

I learned how to compare two stores who ever has a better deal and how much money you could save or spend. It taught me how to be a smarter shopper and how to deal with discounts in stores. Surface Area is a new topic for me. I learned how to look from different views such as front view, side view, and top view. Also, I learned how to calculate the Total Surface Area and how to make the shape as the net. Volume is a new lesson for me, too. I learned how to calculate the volume of a rectangle, cube, cylinder,and triangle and what exponent I should use which is the power of 3. We also used different formulas for each shape which I learned quickly. As our volume unit end, I learned how to find the volume of 2 shapes and how I could make a small triangle into a giant one. media type="custom" key="8588838"

Integers
The mistake I made from my test is that I got confused whether I have to add or subtract an integer because of the baby brackets. Also, I got confused if I have to use the Sign Rules and where I should put the square brackets. Most of the mistakes I did was that I got confused but when we corrected our test, I kind of understood it more. In the homeworks were assigned to do, I did all of it and most of it, I showed my work.

The Man Who Planted Trees can relate to us because all of us have goals that we wanted to achieve and even we fail, we’ll try and set a new one or continue until you reach success. It can relate to me because as I said, people have goals and I’m one of them. Goals helped me to be more successful on the things I have to get done. It can relate to school because like the farmer, teachers have been planting seeds and us students have been harvesting it. They share the knowledge which will then get passed to us. Local Community can relate to this because all over the world, there have been a lot of planting fields and a lot of people are caring for the environment more. Also, local citizens take care of sheeps and bees just like Elzéard to help them for living. <span style="background-color: transparent; display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">5. I could say money, publicity, votes, community benefits, prizes and awards motivates people and organizations in their approach to the environment. Money because people this days likes money to help them buy things they need such as food. Publicity because that helps to issue an idea of the person. Votes because a lot of campaigners would promise to make the community better or cleaner if they’ll let him/her win.Community benefits because the community could make sure that their environment is clean, which means less germs to catch diseases. Also, it could help people to recycle things that can be exchanged for money,too. Prizes and awards because <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">**some** <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> people would only do such thing if there’s anything in exchange. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">6. Jean’s attitude is that he also gave awareness and he tried to offer help to Elzéard. He’s also the writer of this story. The charcoal burners weren’t really helping on improving the forest. They were cutting the trees down, burn it, then sell it to the benches at church. However, Elzéard Bouffier is the one that made a difference. More than ten thousand people owe their happiness to Elzéard. He planted 100 thousand seeds on which 20 thousand had grown successfully. Also, he didn’t give up on planting seeds and he just continued until his last breath. Government Officials also did a helpful action. They decided to place the whole forest under the protection of the State and charcoal burning prohibited. The Member of Parliament are greedy and arrogant. Timber Merchants are unconcerned because they didn’t replanted the trees that they cut down in which they need the wood for their work, and also used for cars during the Second World War. Villagers had believed in hope! They changed the village and the result, it looked nicer and more peaceful. Men and women were full of health. Boys and girls learned how to laugh and enjoy life. 10. Trees affect climate at a local level and a global level by helping the temperature to get lower,reduce energy usage and reduce or remove air pollutants. Trees can also reduce global warming or other disasters such as floods.

MESOPOTAMIA DEFINITION CARD:



CUNEIFORM REFLECTION: __ yes __ Is my cuneiform square? __yes__ Did I include 2 offerings and a signature? __ yes __ Is my writing neat and easy to read? __ yes __ Does my symbol look how it is supposed to? __no__ Are my symbols deep enough to make an impression, but do not break through my tablet? __ yes __ Does my writing flow from left to right?
 * CHECKLIST:**


 * REFLECTION: Score: 8/10**

I gave myself a mark of 8 out of 10 because my cuneiform was shaped as it supposed to be, I included 2 offerings and a signature, it is fairly neat and easy to read, my symbols looked like the diagram shown in our hand-outs, and I wrote from left to right. However, when I was writing on my tablet, the tablet splitted and some parts that broke are hard to put together.

Wetting the clay was the part I enjoyed because I never knew that you can put two clays together without having to fold or roll it, you just have to put some water on it. The part where I struggled the most was carving 2 offerings, because the small pieces of clay that I just carved out made my cuneiform a bit messy. Also, I found joining the cracks difficult because I might crack it even more.

Next time, what I would do differently is I would make my cuneiform a little bit thicker so there’s less chance of getting it cracked. Also, I would use the thin stylus first before the thicker one so I could have a guide on what to write without having to worry about cracking the cuneiform.
