my innovation day project reflection

for my Innovation day project I did mallard ducks and I learned a lot about them: like where they live and how they lay eggs .

before I started my project I was really nervous because I had never worked by myself before. I think that there was some pros and cons to both working with a partner and working alone. Some cons of working alone are more stress and you get more work but I think it worked out.Before I presented to the judges I was really nervous , by the time I was done I thought I did a really good job. Here is a picture of me and my project

In conclusion I think I learnt a lot about mallard ducks and a little about myself.

check in my smart goals

my academic goal check in

I think that I have gotten better in my goal and made some progress in my math goal of data management and financial literacy. I have begun to understand more. I think I am on track to complete my goal and I have started to improve. I have started to understand and get better marks in math and I think that I am on track to completed this goal.I think I can improve on some of the math skills yet to come. This goal is really important to me because I need math to succeed and I was really behind last year.

learning skill goal check in

my learning skill goal is to be more organized and be focused in school. I think I have improved on my goal and I think that I am on track to complete my goal by the end of the year. I am more organized and I am more focused in class.

My smart goals

My learnign skill Goal is:

This year my goal is focusing in class when I can given due dates and quiz dates – this is all about organization.  What milestones will I pass on the way to my goal? I will be able to build a study plan when I have a test/quiz using the notes from class class and use my agenda given to me. I have a weekly meeting with Ms .M on a Tuesday to help set up my week and Grade 7 have a weekly meeting with Mr Ray to make sure we all have written dates in our agenda and are on track with studying. Is this goal realistic, this goal is perfect for me because I was lacking focus and organization last year and this such an important skills to be able to do it independently ready for Grade 8 and high school and life! Why is this goal worthwhile? It is important because I will learn more ways to be organized and how to reduce my stress and anxiety about my school work and have more time for fun things. The due date for this goal is the end of this school year.

 

My academic goal for this year is:

I want to improve on data management and financial literacy in math. I want to       understand the unit better and make sure that I understand it more clearly when I need to apply it to other math areas as well as real life skills. The milestone that I will pass is that I will be able to do this work independently in class and practice these skills at home during homework time. This will lead to getting better grades in the unit and this motivation will help keep me on track for the goal. It is realistic for me because I felt that I was really behind last year and I think that Ms Cleveland will help me understand. I already understand more in class! It will help me be more successful in math and help raise my confidence in this subject.  

ירושלים

שלום.אני ללמד הרבה על ירושלים.אני לא ידעתי על ירושלים ב ספתמבר אבל היום אני ללמד הרבה.אני רציתי ללמד על  ירושלים

זה ה פרוקת שלי והפרק שלי

ירושלים יש הרבה היססתוריה יש הרבה מילחמות .ירושלים זה עיר הבירה של ישראליש שוק השוק יש אכל, בגדים, והרבה אנשים. האכל זה טעים יש פיתות,פלאפל.הכותל קדושה ליהודים.אני רציתי הולך לישראל בדצמבר ואני רוצה להולך בירושלים יש הרבה לעשה יש גן החיות,יש ה שוק ערבייש ה כותל.

Responsibilities of a Bar/Bat Mitzvah

At the age of 12/13 Jewish people are commanded to read from the Torah and then have a party. This is called a bat mitzvah for girls and a bar mitzvah for boys. You do not have to read from the Torah and it is not a law that if you do not read the Torah you should be killed but it is commanded in the Torah . For a Jewish person at the age of 12/13 the Torah says  if you are a boy you should wear Teffilin which I will get to in just a second and according to the Torah you are a adult you can read from the Torah. for girls it is the same but you are not commanded to wear Teffilin you can but you do not have to . what is a Tallit? What is Teffilin?  Why is it important? Teffilin is something you wear every day but Shabbat and holidays. a Tallit is a prayer shawl and it is worn during prayer. It is important because it symbolizes a connection with god. I found that it is wierd that for a bat/bar mitzvah you do not have to read the Torah.

innovation day reflection

This innovation day this one was the best but most stressful.

 

This innovation day I thought I was not going to finish. I was stressed and nervous We got to make circuits which was fun but really hard and stressful. I was trying not to panic and scream. When it came time for the judging it was really stressful and scary. The stress was mainly from the judging the time limit and the awards. The research was hard but not as stress inducing and hard as the building one day I was calm and the next day I was screaming my head of from the emotions.

 

This project was really fun, stressful, tiring, hard, and reliving but in the end I think I did really well. 

Jewish studies

This term I learned about the Brit Milah the Baby naming Pidyon Haben and Shalom Zachar. I learned that these things are important because they are traditions and some are because of the Torah and some are not.

The baby naming is important because it is the baby getting named  the Brit Milah is important because it is the sign of the covenant between god and Abraham and all of Abraham’s descendants. The Pidyon Haben is only for the first born if the first born is a boy. It is important because it is forgiving god because of the golden calf. You have to pay the Cohen five silver coins. The shalom Zachar is when the Friday after a baby boy is born you have a  big meal it is tradition but if you don’t want to you don’t have to.

In Jewish studies we did family projects mine is here

click here for my family project  

The two interesting facts i learned about my family are….

1. I learned that my family on my dad’s side is from Russia Austria and Poland

2. The second thing I learned is that my mom’s side is from Russia and Poland

If I did this again i would probably change the way that i made the slides it would be more orginaized
