toc =Introduction= Two things that I am good at is Pythagoras because I understand it a lot, they are easy to understand. Another thing I am good at is volume, at first I didn’t get the formula until I studied it. Once I got to know it helped me understand it a lot. Two things I need to improve on are fractions, and ratio because they struggle me, I didn’t understand me a lot. In the next 6 weeks, my goals are to do better in class and do my homework. =My subjects= =Math=

Term 1 Reflection
Hello, my name is Ivan Salvador. I am a student in grade 8. If someone asked me if I like math I would say yes, because I like math. Best subject. Even though I’m not as good as others, I try to do my best. The thing I like to do in math the best is integers, cause their easy for me. I liked the integer’s event, because I like adding. In grade 7 the best unit I studied was integers, I did well on integers because it was like addition and subtraction. The unit, I’ve really struggled with was algebra and the circumference. I struggled with it because it was hard for me to understand. This year, I’ll try to do my best to understand those two. This year to become more successful is to listen, do work, and study hard. Also, ask questions about problems that struggle me a lot.

Term 2 Reflection
What I’ve learned in term two was, total surface area, and volumes. I’ve struggled a lot in surface area at first I didn’t get it until Mr. Harbeck explained it right. Volume I was comfortable with, but the cylinder. I’ve struggled a lot on cylinder, because I hate them. But once I got to know the formula, I studied it so I can learn it better. For the next term, I will try my hardest to get my grades up. I did well on the Surface Area because I understood them a lot, but the net was complicated, we had to draw them out. I didn’t like the net at first, until I practiced drawing the nets, I got to know the nets a lot better, and in term 2 my test improved. This term, I would like to work better, and improve my test marks a lot better.

Iqbal
This book is about a boy named Iqbal, written by Franceso D’Adamo with no illustration. In chapter one, the characters that were introduced were Hussain Khan, Fatima, and the numskulls. Numskulls were working for Hussain Khan, he was like the leader of the carpet factory, and master of the children that work for him. This is happening in the middle east, in Pakistan. The purpose of this book is to teach us about child labour. The children in this book are working to pay off debt, so they can have freedom. This book will teach us a lot about child labour, and hoping child labour will change soon. The key names worth remembering in this chapter are Fatima, and Hussain Khan. Another key word worth remembering is rupee, dusk, and dawn. Those are worth remembering because Fatima is basically telling us this story called Iqbal, Hussain Khan is worth remembering because he is the master of children that are working for him, and the leader of the carpet factory. Rupee is worth remembering because it pays off debt. Dusk and dawn are also worth remembering because kids that work there are not getting treated fairly, and they are working very early to very late. The organization of this book helped me by characters. The characters in this book were easy to understand. I’m glad that the author had made them so organized. The other thing that helped me understand the book was that the words were easy to understand too, because the words were easy in this chapter. I can reflect to this book by having your own responsibilities, ( do homework, chores ), pay your bill so that the government won’t call, and get mad. ( parents ) An aha moment I had was when Hussain Khan said the lines on the slates represented their debt. At first, I didn’t know why the children were given a slate, but as I was reading, I finally got the answer.

Reading Response
This book is about 2 guys and a girl, written by Chris Ashley with no illustration. In this chapter the characters were introduced. Christopher and Anthony were the two guys, and the girl, Cassandra. In the first chapter, Christopher and Anthony were skateboarding in the skate park while Cassandra came by and had a really great plan. A plan where they can all be happy. This is happening in San Jose, California USA. The purpose of this book is to teach us about life, how we’re not suppose to rush it by getting your own skate company, and not ditching school for skateboarding. The key words worth remembering are schooling, responsibilities, and homework. Those are worth remembering because you need to work for what you do. You don’t have to rush your dreams. That’s why school goes first. Another key place worth remembering is school. As I said school goes first so we don’t fail. The organization of this book helped me understand the characters easily. And how the author wrote it made me understand it a lot easier. My relation to this book is, myself skateboarding with a couple of friends. But we didn’t rush because we’re still young to make our own skate company. My aha moments in this book is to follow your dreams when you dream something big like making own skate company. I’ve answered my question too. My question was “did their dream come true?” while I was reading then end of the chapter. I finally got the answer.

Thank You Ma'am
Dear Luella Bates Washington Jones,

What I have done was stupid, I wasn’t myself that night. That’s why I am writing this because I’m sorry I really am. I saw you walking alone with that big purse. I thought you had money, so I snatched your pocketbook so I can buy blue suede shoes.

Your actions have helped me throughout my life. I remember you saying, “you outta be my son.”. When you said that it made me think why I did it. I should actually be your son because you would teach me a lot of things. Like, being a nicer person, being kind to others, and being truthful.

Again I’m sorry. If I could ever go back in time I would. I would also change myself to be a better person, which I am now because of what you have taught me. You taught me how to be a more respectful person, and more responsible. Thanks Mrs. Jones.

Yours truly, Roger

Social Studies


Why I gave myself a 7.5 is a few reasons. First reason is I kind of rushed on the writing process. Second I didn’t use my time wisely. Last, the toothpick kept slipping of my hand for some reason. That wasted time.  What I have enjoyed working on this project is moulding the clay, because it was fun, and it was my second time working with clay. What I found difficult about this project is the writing process, because somewhat the toothpick kept slipping off my hand.  What I would do differently, is time management. I have to use my time wisely next time so I can do a lot better on this project.
