Weekly Reflection Week 9

Week 9

Plus
- This week my plus is that Reading was the topic of Kids Ed Chat yay! I liked this because I could really say what books I was interested in and even get suggestions on books to read from others.
- This week I liked doing Algebra this week because at first, I was wondering what Algebra was, but after I got the sheet, I realised it was easy enough.
Minus
- Again my Must Dos were not marked off because when I handed my book in with everything done only one thing was marked, so I ended up on Red Alert.
Interesting/Action
- This week I was in an Ed Chat with Mr Mac and I enjoyed it because there are much different questions to the Ed Chat’s I do on Thursdays, instead there are questions like “How does the flipped classroom concept help with learning?”
- To fix my minus I might have to put little notes on my page saying that everything is done it just needs to be marked off.
Goal
- My goal is to get some more Studyladder tasks done because I only have 49% done. To do this I will have to get as much time as possible on my Studyladder tasks, and maybe even do some at home.

Weekly Reflection Week 8

Week 8

Plus
- This week I liked Impact  because we got to cover books with fabric - I did mine with plain fabric, and I plan to just decorate the plain fabric with shapes made out of other coloured fabric.
- This week I also liked the 12 book challenge because it challenges me to read more often.
Minus
- This week my minus is that I was on Red Alert and I think this is because when I put my book down to get marked, It was only open on where I had my SRA so that only the SRA was seen.
Interesting/Action
- This week I was interested when I did Kids Ed Chat because one of my tweets were replied to. It was nice to know that someone was interested in what I had to say!
- To fix my minus I will have to remember to leave my book open on the right page!
Goal
- This week my goal is to get faster at doing my work on paper because when I do work on paper, I have to finish everything before I hand it in.

Weekly Reflection Week 7

Week 7

Plus
- This week I enjoyed Impact because I have worked further on my story and it’s getting really dramatic.
- This week I also liked Book Club because I was two roles which made me push myself to do both and it really made me feel that I was achieving something.
Minus
- This week my minus is that I only JUST managed not to get into Oh Dear. I think this is because of my computer screen breaking, which has caused a distraction.
Interesting/Action
- This week I liked KidsEdChat because we learnt funny things about other peoples family across New Zealand, and could also express our feelings about our own families.
- To fix my minus I will need to be able to concentrate, by forgetting about my computer. I will have to either do it on paper, or do it on a MacBook
Goal
- This week my goal is to get better on my Maths, because I don’t really understand converting decimals to percentages to fractions, and back again. To do this I will book a conference with my Math teacher so I can have a one on one lesson on it, which might make it easier.
