During our target games unit in PE, I learned that disc golf and cornhole both require accuracy and control, but in very different ways. In disc golf, I struggled at first with overpowering my throws, which caused the disc to curve past the target. By focusing on a smooth motion and a controlled release, I improved my approach shots significantly. Cornhole felt more familiar, but I realized consistency was key—lowering my release point and stepping forward with the opposite foot helped me. 👍
(Notebook)
My science notebook became more useful as the school year continued, as I took more care to add details and clarity to my work.
I’ve improved on making sure that I know what I’m doing in Science class at the beginning of class by checking schoology.
I’ve improved on turning in assignments on time.
I’ve improved on doing the warm up when class starts.
One area of growth might be studying for assessments, ’cause I got a 1.5 in a L2 assessment.
I have a decent understanding of key concepts overall, I could still improve on some topics.
- 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
In the second CER (page 32 in notebook), I avoided using interpretation/reasoning in the Evidence section and got a higher score (3).
My strengths are:
- Compose music that follows the criteria
- Sight reading
- Correct fingerings
- Identify note names on the staff
- Connect music to my experiences at school or in my life
- Use music vocabulary
Areas for growth in band are:
- Turning in assignments
- Resubmitting work
Action plan:
- Practice for at least 30 -40 minutes, 3 days a week, and remember to turn in work (no procrastination). Success would look like I remember to turn in all assignments and have a longer duration of playing my clarinet.
How did I extend my learning?
- I’m in ASA Jazz Band playing the bass guitar 🙂 (I only found this photo that had me in it) . This is an extension of my learning because I had to sustain the rhythm (follow the rhythm) because I’m playing bass and it’s part of the rhythm section and if I mess up then our tempo would be wrong. Also, I needed to apply my sight reading skills because I usually read tab music but I got the music with the staff on it this time :(.
1. Active Learner Habits
-One strength I bring to math class is academic integrity.
-Another strength I bring is good organization skills.
-A third strength I bring is I actually check my work before submitting (except for sometimes when I take too long errr).
Area of Growth
-One habit I want to improve this semester is to try to collaborate with people even though they are being “slightly” immature.
-This is an area of growth for me because I am depressed and not want to collaborate in that table group because that person is being exceptionally annoying and immature and starting random arguments that no one cares about.
Plan for Growth
– I will work on this habit by talking to ai (or real people IDK) to improve communication skills.
– One specific action I will take is to talk to DeepSeek 🤔.
2. Math Notation and Communication
Caption: Before and Now examples of my math notebook
Reflection:
- My math work has improved because my organization skills improved and I added colour :).
3. Evidence of Understanding of Key Concepts
Reflection:
-Sticker Project
-This example shows that I understand how to use transformations and dilations correctly to create my sticker :).
-One strength in this work is that I know the vocabulary for this topic and I know the formulas and others :).
-Create a Story Project
-This example shows that I understand how to make a graph with correct labels on axis and others.
-One strength in this work is that I worked efficiently with my partner Linda to create an interesting story with correct math.
Final Reflection:
-Overall, my work shows that I can solve math problems without rage quitting (except for IXL) and I can collaborate effectively with other people.
Introduction
The purpose of my conference is to help me explain why I am here and what I want to share with my parents about my learning journey.
I’d like to share:
- What I’ve done and what I still want to achieve
- Some areas of growth, struggles, and some of my work
- My goals and how I plan to achieve them
Some of the things included on my vision board are:
- A bass guitar
- Duolingo
- Math
- Spanish
These are important because: these are the things that are related to things I want to improve on 👍
My Goals Are:
1. Learn how to play slap bass.
2.Get better at simplifying exponents before the end of this year.
3.Not get rage-baited by IXL by doing meditation.
Transdisciplinary Transfer Goal (TTG)
The TTG I chose to reflect upon throughout the year is…
Effective collaborator/Skilful Collaborator because I sometimes have to work with people who are annoying and very immature that plagiarises others’ work *cough cough* and I just have to deal with it.
1. Why and how did you or your group pick the music you presented? What did you learn about picking music?
- We chose this music because we like jazz, it sounds good, and it has a quartet part (even though we only have 3 people). We learned that you need to type in *name of the song* + *instrument* + Solo/Duet/Trio to get the result you want.
2. What did I learned about myself/my playing after we completed this project? What skills did you gain or reinforce? Do you feel more confident or curious about a specific skill?
- I learned that I need to clean out the water in my instrument first before performing because when I was performing, there was water in my instrument and it sounded bad.
3. Think of a challenge or set back that you experienced. How did you resolve your setbacks?
- A challenge was counting the rests. We had to start over in the first few times to figure out the tempo and how many rests there were. We solved this by marking it with a ✨{Band Pencil}✨ on the music.
4. What were the factors that contributed to your success?
- Focusing when we are practicing and moving over obstacles (resilience👍)
In this unit, I learned about how to serve backhand and spike the birdie. One of my strengths is probably spiking the ball and attempting to murder the opponents. One thing I need to work on is to try not to use too much strength or else it’s gonna be out.
1. Describe your story and what real-life situation it modeled?
- Our story was about the French Re-re-re-re-re-re-re-revolution that happened in 6769, when the biotechnology is very advanced, it allowed people to have displaced body parts that could be connected via bluetooth, and people were addicted to the Roblox avatar trend called “headless” that makes the character not have a head. Thus, people started to have headless in real life as well to follow the trend until it ended. This story modeled the French Revolution but it is more about trends and fashion in this story.
2. What part of your project are you most proud of? Why?
- I am most proud of my creativity about the topic because it’s unique and there probably wasn’t anyone else who thought of it?
3. What was the hardest part of creating your piecewise function?
- The hardest part of creating my piecewise function was thinking about the scale. I struggled on this for a long time, me and Linda probably changed it for 3+ times until we got the final product.
4. If you could revise one part of this project, what would you improve and how?
- I would probably do the calculations part on paper so that it won’t be so complicated to type out.
5. What did this project help you understand better about piecewise functions?
- It made me understand more about the vocabulary like “domain” “range” and know how to explain the calculations more👍
