Here comes 7th grade ! :)

Lockers, Homework, Independence, friendships, freedom....... 6th grade contains so much. All of these things we had to deal with at the begging of 6th grade ; the things we didn't have/have as much of in Melawati.
But now 6th grade is almost over, and 7th grade is my next challenge.

6th grade as been such an amazing adventure. Some times have been hard, with all the homework and stressful work..... but I have loved my first year in middle school. Anyway..... I will now tell you about me: I love humanities ( Social studies/history part of it). Yes, that's a good thing for next year, I know.
Anyway...... now onto the questions!

1.There are many things I am proud of from my 6th grade year. Some things big, some things small. But altogether, I am most proud of my non-academic grade. I have always been well behaved in class because I love to learn new things in each class; I don't just sit there and talk to my friends the whole class.
I also do my homework and I always check the homework on the BBS; and I get my homework due on time. Sometimes I can work a bit too hard ( Making a piece of homework too long... etc) but in the end all that hard work was worth it.

2.My greatest challenge in 6th grade...... well I actually had alot of challenges like lockers, finding my way around,getting used to the schedule......... etc. But I think probably my biggest challenge was homework this year; It took me a long time to get used to all the homework we had from each class. In Melawati, we usually only got about 30-40 minutes of homework each day and we never used the BBS. This took a lot of time to get used to, especially that we have most of our homework on the computer !

3.I learned this year just to try your hardest. Even if you didn 't do too well on a test.... if you tri ed your best that's the most important thing ( And sadly, I got that from my mom. She is actually right!)

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

a) Behavior
*Could be improved
*Satisfactory
*Perfect - the model student
Explanation: I think that I am pretty much perfect. (I am not trying to make myself sound completely perfect at everything). As I said before, I listen to the teacher while she is talking, and I always try and not get distracted by others.

b) Participation
*None
*Satisfactory
*Actively participate in class
Explanation: I think that I am probably inbetween satisfactory and Actively participate in class, but closer to Actively. I am not afraid to answer questions and I always try to help others.

c) Organization
*Needs serious help
*Satisfactory
*I'm super organized
Explanation: I think that I am super organized. My locker is neat and tidy ( So its easy to find stuff) and I always bring the materials I need to class ; and so far I have not lost any school items( The giver, Social studies text......) But at home, before a test I think I should organize my time a bit more wisely if there is a test coming up.

d) Effort
*Needs serious help
*Satisfactory
*I always go above and beyond what is required.
Explanation: I am probably nearer 'I always go above and beyond as required' but not completely all the way ( But ever so almost) I try my hardest in my homework and in class to achieve the expectations.

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

*Goal 1 - In Grade 7, I plan to try and put a little bit more effort into my work, so that I can rise to the top.

*Goal 2 - In Grade 7, I plan to organize my homework time a bit better, and to really look over my work done over the day ( If there is a test coming up)

6)Is there any more information about yourself that you would like the teachers to know?
That I will try my best next year to do even better then this year in 6th grade.

Looking forward to seeing you soon!

Who will save mother nature now?

Global Warming, Pollution, Animal extinction, deforestation............ Only WE can save the earth from these disasters. Some of these things we have 'helped' get worse, and some are completely our fault. What have I done to help?

REDUCE , REUSE, RECYCLE! Me and my family really care about the environment even if its just helping our community! Everyday, we have an newspaper delivered to our door. Every few months we deliver the papers to the SPCA. You know that in all these stores they always give you a plastic bag? Right? Well my family does this very often. Everytime we go shopping, we don't ask for a bag, and we just use the bag we got. This a good method for Reducing.

Remember, know matter if you even just put a plastic bottle in the recycle bin, every little bit helps!

SAVE ELECTRICITY! This is one of the main causes for global warming. Yes, we couldn't live without electricity, I know. But we need to reduce our use of it! While we are out, many of us leave the lights on, the fan, we leave our electronics still charging. Well this is not helping our environment at all!!

Earth hour really helped our enviorment. All over the world, people were switching off their lights for an hour, thinking our one and only earth. If really showed what could be done. It was a great way to save our earth.

Before you leave your house next time, think before you leave ' Do I need to keep my lights on;' or ' Is my DS charged up , but still plugged up?'

Ok, I know that there are many other things that are happening to our earth, but the two above, are probally the ones which we need to focus on most.

Think to yourself..

If we let our earth die, because of us.... what will happen next?

Well the anserw is nothing...... she is our only home
