Year's Reflection
My year In Grade 5: Grade 5 was an amazing year and i'm sure that my classmates will definitely agree. In this reflection I will talk about some of my goals and my experience with these subjects. Hopefully by reading this reflection it will inspire or entertain you.
Questions:
1. How have your habits changed over the last year?
2. What improvements have you made in math and reading over the past year?
3.What goals did you put in the start of the year and where are you know?
Answers:1. Yes I have become very mature. I have learned to control my laughs even though the joke is very funny
2. I have seen major improvement in math and reading. I have improved over 2 levels in reading and in math I got a improvement of 21 points.
3. I have definitely improved in my goals from the beginning of the year to the end and I can show you that in my PortfolioEvidence: I can show you my test scores and map test scores and you will see how much l have improved.
Reading: When I started out I was level R and S and I was like any average reader. I did not like reading that much. In fact, I hated it. I am pretty sure the reason why I did not like reading is because I did not have the right books to read. Somewhere in between the beginning of the year and middle of the year, I found a series of books called Warriors. I loved these book and I realized that if you have the right book you will have the right amount of fun. In less than 2 months I had finished all the Warrior books that I could find in the library. I started reading other big fantasy series or a single fantasy book until I started reading percy jackson. I love it as much as warriors and I have a few books in mind that I will read in middle school I am very excited to continue my reading journey. I think the best thing I can do know is to focus on my jots.
Writing: Writing is one of the worst things of the day for me because I hate it so much. Sitting there listening to my teacher for 15 minutes then write for an hour doesn't appeal to me. Honestly I think I will never enjoy writing. The only good thing for me is when we finish our writing and be jolly and proud of how amazing our work is but little did we know there was going to be another month to wait for that happiness. My favorite unit was the Journalism unit, the one we are doing currently because I really am into news. I think I have got way better in writing because of Ms. Kasal teaching me all these little things that add up to make a big difference. I think that I should start working on spending my time wisely and more efficiently.
Math: In the beginning of the year I had an average score of 225. When I continued throughout the year there was an advance math group. I was kind of jealous because I was not selected, so I worked very hard to make sure I got in and before I knew it Ms. Kasal told me I would be joining them. I was so excited, After a month another advanced math group happened, it was called Math Olympiad and I also got invited. It continued until Math Olympiad was over and I joined this special group which kind of was like math Olympiad but with less people. Map tests were around the corner and I was very excited for the math one because I thought I had improved a lot. When I finished I got 246 and that means I improved by 21 points. I also got third in the class and top ten in the whole grade. I am very Happy and I really do love Math. My goal is to get at least 250 in math next year.
Science: Science is one of my favorite subjects because we get to do many experiments. I learned I lot from Science and it taught me some important lessons. Firstly I think everybody loved the landforms unit even though it was the most stressful unit. I learned a lot of important things like erosion and weathering and so on. The most Important thing I learned from the unit was perseverance. When my group members inhaled the sand accidentally from an experiment I had to work hard to finish the experiment.
Social Studies: Social studies is a subject that I don't hate but I don't Love either. It has its various ups and downs. For example a good thing for me was when we had to do a slideshow, role play and presentation about why we the opposing side should trade for what currently be the Columbian exchange. In the other hand the bad unit was Technology and we just had to read articles and watch videos and note them.
Core Values: To be Honest the core values didn't help me that much. Only a few out of the 7 core values were a help. the other didn't do anything to help me. 1 of core values called perseverance, really helped me. It supported my throughout various units and subjects. For example good scores in math and science is because of perseverance.
Most Proud: The proudest thing that has ever happened before is when I worked very hard and finished all the work in fifth grade mathletics. My teacher announced " Pranay has finished all the fifth grade math in mathletics and is now doing sixth grade math." I felt like I had just won the marathon and now I am slowly and steadily trying to finish the sixth grade math. Later on that day I told my parents what I had just done and from that day on. I knew if you really tried hard then you could achieve almost anything.
Most Growth: I think easily the most Improved subject for me was math. I had done things that I couldn't have done for years in an year and it and it was all through perseverance I had never improved more than ten in a 1 year difference but I improved by 21 points in 1 year I got in into special math groups and I got multiple exceeding in my tests. I have never done this good in a subject in my entire life so this was very special. My goal is to do just as good in reading.
Most Enjoyable: The most enjoyable moment was probably when me, Nico, Michel and Ian played around doing random things until we got bored of them or got interested in something else. These 3 people gave me the time of my life an i'm hoping all of them stay in sixth grade. I am very excited for the Luxor trip because I am going to stay in a room with those 3 and then I can play around with them.
Most Challenging: The most challenging thing for me was to sleep for only 8 hours and then stay awake for 16 hours I fixed this problem by sleeping earlier and waking up earlier so thing are bothering me that much. I hope I can fix the problem of being late all the time. My solution is that I should have a family meeting and tell them my ideas. Hopefully I can make this solution
