Here are some of the goals I plan to achieve in high school:
Organization: I organize my time and paln ahead to make sure that I allow enough time to get everything done.
Stress Resilience: When I face a life challenge, I feel confident that I handle the accompanying stress in a healthy way.
Healthy Relationships: I am able to resolve conflict in a productive way with family and friends. We are able to talk through conflict so that it does not continue.
Rest and Play: I am confident that the amount of time I spend connected to technology such as video games, TV, computer, Facebook, and cell phone is good for my overall well-being.
Handling Emotions: The way I show emotions demonstrates of respect toward myself and others.
Spirituality: I have a clear sense of meaning and purpose in my life.
School and Work: I am satisfied with the way I pay attention, participate, and prepare homework for my classes, extracurriculars, volunteer work, or job.
Care for the Body: The choices I make about what I eat and drink are healthy.
In the Target Games PE unit, we played Frisbee, disk-bump, Cornhole, and other games that enhanced our aiming skills. Something that I’m proud of is that I learned how to throw a frisbee, something I could improve on is higher accuracy and power control in corn hole.
I used to think that a big part of mental health problems very severe and will stay with the patient for the rest of his/her life. Now, after learning more, I realize that mental health illnesses range from little to severe, can be cured and is caused a lot of factors. For example, clinical depression could be caused by stress, life events, PTSD could be caused by trauma, and Postpartum depression could be caused by pregnancy, and is a extreme version of baby blues.
Additionally some ways to cure these mental illnesses are going to a therapist, talking to a trusted adult, etc. Furthermore, my project about Clinical and Postpartum depression helped me learn a lot mental illnesses. Something I learned is these mental health illnesses can be stigmatized through social media. For example, Andrew Tate, a influencer, says that “Your not depressed, you feel depressed.” This can misguide a lot of his fans.
In this unit, we worked on developing our skills in track and field. For example, our running form in the 100m run, the high jump form in the high jump, and long jump.
A strength of mine is the long jump, as I have a mix of lightweight and and power. However, I could work on my. 100meter, as my burst of power isn’t strong enough.
In Band class, I meet the standards of performing, reading, etc, and exceed the standards of collaborating. I have a example of a 3.5 on chromatic scale, and it shows my almost excelling performance skills. One area I recognize I can improve is my practice consistency. Compared to my practice habits in sixth and seventh grade, I do not practice as frequently or with as much focused repetition. By recommitting to regular, intentional practice sessions. Focusing on slow, deliberate repetition and targeted skill work, I know I can strengthen my technique, confidence, and overall musical ability. I could improve by improving my tone quality and be more comfortable playing high notes.
To extend my learning beyond the classroom, I aim to participate in AMIS (Association for Music in International Schools) festivals, as well as AMIS Solo and Ensemble. These opportunities will challenge me with more advanced repertoire, allow me to work with talented musicians from other schools, and give me valuable solo and small-group performance experience. This extra involvement will help me grow as a well-rounded musician, build my stage confidence, and continue raising my overall level of playing.
My science notebook is a well-organized, carefully created and it is a artifact of my learning in science class this school year. I have made improvement in this too. In the start, I have missing sections of the notebook, but now, I show improvement because I don’t have many missing dates or sections and my notebook is carefully numbered.
A skill that I have improved on is following the requirements and not needing a reminder. Other skills I have also improved on is aware of self as learner and works to best ability because before, I did not work and spend a lot of time outside of school to work on schoolwork, and I wasn’t exactly sure how I was doing, but now I have a clear understanding. One skill that I need to work on is stay dialed in/focused. I was doing okay before, and I think I can do better, because sometimes I do talk to friends about things during class(rarely), and I can do it less.
Evidence of Understanding of Key Concepts
I have 3 2/3 out of 15, this shows that I have a clear understanding of the key concepts in class, and I can improve by making sure I don’t have those extra 2/3’s.
Evidence of Growth in Science Skills
Standard 1: Developing and Using Models
Standard 2: Constructing Explanations and Designing Solutions
Standard 3: Engaging in Argument from Evidence (CER)
Standard 4: Asking Questions and Defining Problems
Standard 5: Using Mathematics and Computational Thinking
Standard 6: Obtaining, Evaluating, and Communicating Information
Standard 6: Obtaining, Evaluating, and Communicating Information
I showed improvement in the 2 presentations as in the first snow leopards one, there were not a lot of graphs and a lot of words, but in the 2nd one, I had a equal amount of words and graphs, and a good amount so I can talk more and relate to the graph instead of reading the words on the PPT and having nothing else.
I have improved in sharing my communication as I included more graphs and that makes me able to better fluently communicate what I want to say without just reading it.
The purpose of my conference is to…. student to explain why they are here and what they want to share with their parents about their learning journey.
Vision Board Goals
Improve my ELA by reading once a week.
Get exceeding’s in math more often
Sleep earlier and have a healthy sleep schedule.
Be hardworking and focused
These Goals are important because they are a big part of success for me in the future. They can improve health, improve my academics and help me develop good habits.
My Smart Goal
Run twice a week for around 3km each time, slowly increase
Read a book or any type or for at least 2-3 hours every week.
Do math for extra math for at least 2-3 hours every week.
TTG’s(Transdisciplinary Transfer goals)
My TTG goal I chose to reflect on is: Effective collaborator, I collaborated positively with my group-mates and tried our best, even though some things didn’t go as well or expected, we got back up and moved on.
Something that I am proud of is my L4 Narrative, because I did good on it and it shows my strong writing ability. Something I need to work on is my grammar. For example in the essay below, I was great with everything expect for the language part, showing that I needed to improve my language to make my essay more formal and clear.
In 8th grade Pickleball, we learned how to serve, rally in the kitchen, hit hard shots, etc. I am proud of that I am able to rally and score, something I need to improve on is my ability to hit a serve that my opponent cannot receive.
In 8th grade Badminton, we learned how to smash, forehand and backhand serve, hit high shots, etc. I am proud of that I learned how to smash and are able to use it in real game, something that I think that I need to improve on is my serves, and how to hit a high ball so my opponent can’t smash at me.
The most important thing that I learned during the preparations of the debates was that you needed to be prepared for any type of question. I had a moment where I felt like my mind was blank, and that almost ruined my crossfire. The hardest part of the process was the crossfire, because you really can’t prepare for everything unlike the opening speech where you can prac
