To infinity and GRADE 7!! :D

Hi 7th grade Teachers,
My name is Rory Green. Well people say that I am funny and nice. So i guess I am funny and nice. Now I am going to answer the questions below. I can't wait until 7th grade. :)

1. What piece of work and learning are you most proud? Explain.
I am most proud of my final Math and Science test. I studied so hard for these tests and it payed off. I am really proud of my grade. My parents are happy for me and I am happy. At the beginning of the year I didn't have the best grades. Since the second trimester I have been able to pull my grades up. Now I hope to get good grades on my report card. :D For 7th grade I will push myself to study just like these tests.

2. What were your greatest challenges? Explain.
The greatest challenge this year was getting my homework done on time. Near the beginning of the year I would leave my homework to the last possible moment. Too many times I would be up late at night finishing my homework. Now I am more organized and finish it with lots of effort. My grades have gotten higher and I still have time to play with my friends. Next year i will continue with my good strategy.

3. Reflecting on your growth this year, what did you learn about yourself as a learner?
I learned that I work better in a pair or group. Sometimes we would goof off. I work better with a mixed group. I learn more and we talk about it. We can all put our thoughts into the work. :D

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

a) Behavior
I feel that I could use some help in behavior. Sometimes I get distracted from other people and lose focus. I sometimes need reminding to get on track. If I am on track I will finish my and will be done early. :)

b) Participation

I usually participate in activities. I will raise my hand to answer questions. Most topics I like and will be excited about. Sometimes I get bored if we sit for 80 minutes. This can be a bad thing :( I try to ask questions about homework to be sure about it.  :)

c) Organization

I am mostly organized. Although I like it when the homework is written on the bored. It helps me remember exactly what to do. My locker is organized and neat. I can find what I need in a second. I always getmy work done and hand it in on time.

d) Effort

I put effort into my work. I can say that I don't go super high. I mostly just get my work done. On tests I always try my best. In writing I try hard because I am not so good at it. I hope I can put lots of effort into all of my work next year.

5. Based upon your reflections, write two personal learning goals for Grade 7 next year.
Goal 1 - In Grade 7, I plan to try out for student Idle or the Talent show. I think that everone should get involved. It was fun watching and i hope i make it next year! :)  


Goal 2 - In Grade 7, I plan to get good grades. I have ok grades now and I reallly want Straight A's. You have to be really smart to get A's. I am going to try my hardest and do my best. :D


6.Is there any more information about yourself that you would like the teachers to know?
I CAN'T WAIT FOR 7th GRADE

Inside all of us is... HOPE


When I lived in America I had a huge backyard. In the back corner there was a forest that my friends and I would play in. On one day I was walking around in the forest. I caught a glimpse of a big box. I ran over to check it out and it was a T.V. I thought who could do this? How could they do this? I found many pieces of trash such as, beer bottles, plastic bottles, and a dish washer. This really was frustrating. Someone was littering in my backyard. Soon the world will be like this. We only have one planet to live on. If we destroy it, we all go down. We have to think about our choices.

I think I can make a difference. I can make sure the lights are all off when I don't need them. Wasting electricity is not good. Many people don't have electricity. Turning water off when not needed is also a great way to help. Drink your water bottle or turn off the tab. Recycling is a big help to Earth. We should all recycle our plastic or papers. plastics take a very long time to disintegrate and papers are made from trees. Without trees we will all die. :( Plastics are turning into land fills. I think everyone should use a reusable bottle. They really help. Our rainforest are being destroyed. Animals are found dead from eating plastic or getting stuck in it. We cause this. I believe everyone can change! Inside all of us is HOPE! I have hope that we will change!   Save our Earth
