What did I learn?
I learned about how to pass the ball to the other players, the rules, and the part of your feet to kick the ball.
What helped?
Something that helped is my teammates. They helped me understand the formation and we discussed what each person will be. I am a defender because I can run fast and is very high sideways so I am able to block the ball easily.
What is working?
Something that is working is that I can easily block people because I’m very high sideways. Another thing that is working is that I run fast enough to block people.
What can I work on?
Something that I can work on is training on my ability on running longer because every time I can only run for a little amount of time and then I’m out of breath.
What did I learn?
I learned how to oister, floating, back flip, front flips, and how to save people’s lives.
What did I do well?
What I do well is the back flip and the front flip. I can do it very well when I hold my nose, because if I don’t, water will come in. Another thing that I do well is the oister, because it’s just easy to get your hands and foots together and then go into the water.
What I can improve
I can improve my speed of swimming, because right now, I’m getting slower and slower when I swim. Another thing that I can improve is floating in the water using my legs and hands.
U: What do you understand in this unit?
In this unit, I understand how the constant Of Proportionality and the Ratio works.
N: What new information did you learn in this unit?
Some new information I learned in this unit is the COP. The COP refers to the Constant Of Proportionality, it is used for testing is the graphing is a linier function that the origin starts at (0,0).
I: What was interesting in this unit?
Something interesting in this unit is the ratio because it is easy and easy to understand.
T: What was tricky for you in this unit?
Nothing was actually tricky for me in this unit, I think that everything’s fine.
U: What did I understand in this unit?
In this unit, I understand how to find scale factors, convert fractions, decimals, and percentages, and the proportionality of Scale drawing and diagrams.
N: What new information did you learn in this unit?
Some new information I learned in this unit is add, subtract, multiply, and divide fractions. Another information I learned in this unit is converting percentage, decimal, and fractions.
I: What was interesting in this unit?
Something interesting in Unit 2 is converting fraction, decimal, and percentages. It’s interesting because all these different things can represent the same things. Like the percentage is how many over 100, which you can also represent with fractions. And decimals use one as 100%.
T: What was tricky for you in this unit?
Something that is tricky for me is converting fractions to decimals without using a calculator. The reason for that is because some fractions like 6/7 is hard to calculate using your hands.
How did I manage to control the ball during your two-hand volleys when the game was moving fast? What helped you stay focused?
You make your hand a shape of the looser sign but use all of your fingers. Then, your bent your kneese when you hit it and release it with a push.
Describe a moment during the game when you successfully used a two-hand volley to keep the play going. What did you do to maintain control?
When we are serving the ball, unfortunatly our opponent cached the ball and I must use the two hand volley to pass it to my partner to hit the ball.
What are we learning
In this unit of table tennis, I’ve learned how to serve the ball, pass the ball, and spin the ball. These basic skills really helped me to develop my knowledge on table tennis like we can spin the ball when hitting to increase the ball speed or decrease the ball speed.
Something that’s working
Something that working is I am really good at serving since I am spinning the ball to increase the speed. Another thing that’s working is I can make the ball very low and hard to hit for the opponent. Lastly, I know the rule clearly so that the opponent won’t cheat on me.
What are we doing?
In Social Studies, we are learning about Silk Road and did many activities like Splendor, Mapping out the Silk Road and doing three rounds of Silk Road simulation to see which group have the most points. Splendor is a board game that is about getting different emeralds and using it to trade goods. There are different kind of points to choose to buy. Mapping out the Silk Road means that we get a world map and we need to label all the features of it, like mountains, rivers, lakes, oceans, and large bodies of water. Finally we did the Silk Road simulation which each country needs to trade cards with other countries and whoever get the most points wins.
What are we learning?
We learned about the geographical barriers located along the ancient Silk Road by creating a 3D map, where regions are located and what goods do it have, and how a region can change base on its goods, technology, and beliefs.
What’s working?
In the Splendor activity, something that’s working is I can win the most points in the least amount of time, the way to do that is just find the most worthing card and buy it. Do not buy a lot of low points card because that will decrease your pionts. In the Silk Road simulation, I can understand how to effectively trade goods we want and how to scan people in many ways, to trade goods you want, you need to have the goods the other people want so you need to get that first. And to scan somebody, you can hide a disease card under the card you’re going to trade them.
What’s not working?
In the geographical features part, I am not able to remember all of the features like the mountains, rivers, lakes e.x.
Personal relevance
Learning Silk Road won’t really help me achieve my goals in life. But it can help me improve my Social Studies test score so I won’t get a low score on my social studies class.
- The three norms of Collaboration is pausing, paying attention to others, and putting ideas on the table.
- I am strongest at paying attention to myself and others because I don’t want to miss all the information my team said and I can participate if I listen carefully.
- I need to improve on putting ideas on the table because I don’t share ideas a lot when I am in a group and I want to help my group to improve on out project.
- During the Ancient Silk Road Unit, the learning activity that I like the most is the Silk Road simulation because in that simulation, we have diseases and we can scan people.
What are we doing?
In Social Studies, we are studying about the Change maker we chose and created a MMR. Before we made the MMR, we studied completely about our Change maker. However, when we are creating the MMR, we decided to do something that is fresh, making it 3D.
What are we learning?
We are learning that our planet that we are living on is dying because of our action, and we will choose a change maker to study on for the rest of our unit. In the second lesson, I chose Jacques Cousteau as my change maker. At last, my partner and I created a 3D MMR about Jacques Cousteau.
What’s working?
I have a better understanding of an oceanography and its importance. I learned how to make a MMR with 3 layers. Furthermore, I got creative and make it with 3 different sides, it is very different compared to a normal MMR. For conclusion, I got all the criteria for a MMR.
What’s not working?
There is some little problem in this MMR project. Next time I will stick more interesting pictures to make it more entertaining for the viewer. Furthermore, I feel like we should have written the words better to it cooler.
Personal Relevant
I think is extremely relevant for learning about Jacques Cousteau because he is a good model for us to follow and be creative. I think it is very engaging to learn about an oceanographer because I love the ocean and wanted to protect it. As a result, we need to care for the ocean because is covered 73% of earth.
