My 3 words

Hi, my name is Kevin Wang, and the three words that I chose for 2015 are focus, efficiency, and neatness.
I chose focus because i need to devote all my attention on one thing at a time. For example, I shouldn't be thinking about the soccer game, and focus and absorb what the teacher is saying. I usally have a hard time maintaining my attention span on one subject.
The second word I chose is efficiecny because I haven't really been using my time as wise as I can. Partially, this may also be because I'm too tired to focus or stay focused for a long period of time
I also chose the word neatness because I wasn't very organized with my schedule and keeping on top of all my homework. Geeting organized and neat will definetely help me stay on top of my assignemnts, and dot

New Years Resolution Words

1. Strenghth. Why strenghth? I chose strength because I want to be able to get through some of the situations I've had to deal with this year. Mentally and physically. Physically as in beingore active and not being a couch potato the majority of the year.
2. Effort. I chose effort because I want to use what my teachers tell me to improve on and really try to get better at them. I want to work harder on my grades so that I'm not barely getting an A on some subjects and try and take on getting a more honourable roll.
3. Accomplish. I want to be able to accomplish everything I'm hoping to do. What's the point of having a resolution if I can't do them successfully? I want to do the things I've been holding off on for a long time.

3 words

The three words I chose are consume, risks, and health
I chose consume because I feel like l need to apprechiate the people in my life that try to help me with things more. Risks because I need to take more risks with my school work ( like projects) and with my gymnastics. For example in gymnastics i need to take risks so that i can do better. Health because it is important to be healthy and fit in your daily life so the you have confidence in your self.

3 Words to Live By

Hi, my name is Jenny.I am in Grade 8. In class, we are doing the 3 word challenge. The 3 word challenge is a challenge where we choose 3 words to live by. It is sort of like an New Year's Resolution, except it is only made up of 3 words, each word having a different meaning.The words I chose are effort, creativity, and planning.
I chose effort because I want to put more effort in my work, to go beyond expectations. Effort is also important, because it helps you to do your best, and go beyond what's required.
I chose creativity because I need to be more creative in my work, and explore more. Being creative will also expand my imagination in my artwork and schoolwork.
I chose planning because I want to plan ahead whenever I do something, because I find that I rarely plan; if I plan I will become more organized. Planning will also make my schedule go smoother and become more efficient, and my schedule won't be as hectic.

Learning blog for December 8th

Today in class, we did our literature circles. Every group discussed their own stories and got observed. We then got time to do our reflections and work on our Innovation Fair proposals.

We did this to work on our conversation skills, learn to answer questions logically.

This can be useful for discussing ideas for products maybe when we're older. It can also be used as resoning practice.

Our homework is the reflections if you didn't finish it in class and the innovation fair proposal.
