Reflection of 6th Grade
What piece of work and learning are you most proud of?
I definitely feel that as a student I have grown so much this year both academically and socially. I would probably say that I am most proud of the literature circles that we have done this year. Since the start of the year I have improved significantly in writing over all. Though I feel as if my literature circles show clearly how much I have improved. At the start of the year I found it very hard to think of what to write about in literature circles. I now see it was because I left it to the last minute and did not do it with a positive attitude. The last literature circles that I did were amazing, I am very proud of myself and what I have achieved.
What were your greatest challenges?
My greatest challenge was probably doing my homework and giving it in on time. At the start of the year I never took my homework seriously and didn't worry about it but now I understand that homework is very important even if it is just to read a book. Homework gives you many benefits as it prepares you for the next class and you learn many interesting things that will help you in class. I put effort into my homework and always try to exceed at what I got before. Homework is also graded and very important.
Reflecting on your growth this year, what did you learn about yourself as a learner?
Over the course of 6th grade I have learnt as a learner I need to stay focused at one thing at a time otherwise it overwhelms me too much. When I get homework from all of my different classes I figure out what is the most important one and which one is due first so that I know which order to finish them in. I fell much more organized now than what I was at the start of the year. I am very happy with my improvement as a learner and feel as if I am ready for 7th grade.
4. To evaluate your work habits, choose 1 of the following from each category ( and provide explanations):
a) Behavior
Could be improved
Satisfactory
Perfect - the model student
Explanation:
Perfect - the model student, my mum has definitely taught me to behave properly in class and I feel like it would be rude not to. I always try to have a positive attitude and a happy face when I am in class. I keep myself to myself in class and remember that I am indoors and not outside. At lunch I definitely seem to act differently as I am in a different environment but I still think about my behavior and how I should be acting.
b) Participation
None
Satisfactory
Actively participate in class
Explanation:
Satisfactory, I participate in class but not all the time only if I am asked a question or if I need to ask a question. If I don't understand something I will ask but I do not raise my hand all the time to answer questions that the teacher asks the class. Though I feel I have improved since the start of the year.
c) Organization
Needs serious help
Satisfactory
I'm super organized
Explanation:
I'm super organized, I always make sure I am organized for class before I get to school I also try to keep my locker nice and clean at all times. I also keep a diary for notes and homework so that I remember when things are due. Overall this year I have felt very organized. I hope to stay organized through 7th grade as well.
d) Effort
Needs serious help
Satisfactory
I always go above and beyond what is required.
Explanation:
Satisfactory, since the start of the year I have definitely improved my effort towards my work but I wouldn't say that I go above and beyond. I try my best and set goals for myself to make sure that I keep improving my personal best. I definitely feel like I have improved since the start of the year and hope to keep on improving through the years to come.
5. Based upon your reflections, write two personal learning goals for Grade 7 next year.
Goal 1 - In Grade 7, I plan to exceed my personal best and overcome the obstacles that are to come.
Goal 2 - In Grade 7, I plan to make more friends so that I have a wide variety of close friends to hang out with in 7th grade.
6.Is there any more information about yourself that you would like the teachers to know?
At the start of every year I appear as a very shy down to Earth kind of person but when I start to settle down you will realize that I am quite a bubbly happy person who likes to joke around. Though I do take my work seriously I always try to have a bit of fun. At the start of the year I will be very quiet and will keep myself to myself but once I get used to 7th grade everything will be great.
7. Finally, cast your minds back to the first few months of middle school (when you arrived in Grade 6 ) what "Words of Wisdom" or "Advice" could you pass on to the Class of 2018?
My first year in middle school went by in a flash I had a wonderful time and I have definitely enjoyed 6th grade. Make sure that you keep on top of your homework as most of it is graded and put all of your effort into your work. Always have a positive attitude and you will do great. Don't worry about Malaysia Week it is not as bad as it sounds. I was really worried before I went but when I got their I had a ball and it went by so quickly. Have fun and enjoy yourself. Good luck and I cant way tot me to you guys!
