+The Seven Habits

The 7 habits help me be more successful as a person.

My favorite habit is “Be Proactive” because it has taught me to take responsibility for my own life.

For example, instead of getting mad because YOU didn’t sign my agenda, I take responsibility to make sure I have my agenda signed before I get on the bus. I don’t blame you.

I am proactive by making sure I have all of my homework in my backpack before I leave the classroom.

I realize that it is my job to be successful and that I can’t blame anyone else.

+My Goals

This year I set personal and academic goals. I learned goals are important so that I know what I want, and so that I can create a plan to accomplish it.

+My Personal Goal

I want to make the Demo Jump Rope Team

Things I have to do to make my goal: Practice every day Be prepared for clinics Keep trying even if it is hard

+Academic Goal

I want to get 100% on three spelling tests in a row.

Things I can do to make this goal: Study my words each night Do my spelling homework Use Spelling City Keep trying even if it is hard

+Spelling

Here are my grades so far in spelling.

Boom Town: 65% I forgot to study and didn’t do my homework

What About Me: 79% I did do all my homework, but I didn’t really study.

Alexander: 95% I studied AND did my homework!

If I Made a Million: 100% I studied AND did my homework!

My Rows and Piles of Coins: 74% I didn’t put first things first this week…

+Reading

Check out my bar graph to see my reading test scores.

+Math

We had our first math post test on estimating, addition, and subtraction I got an 85%. I am proud of my score because my pretest was only a 45% and I studied hard.

+Behavior

I have had 3 behavior marks in 4 weeks.

I had one behavior mark for not following directions quickly. I was reading my book instead of listening to Mrs. Richardson.

I had two behavior marks because I forgot to get my agenda signed, and I also forgot my spelling homework.

Next time, I want to have 0 behavior marks, so that I can do a sharpen the saw activity!

+I want to learn…

I really want to learn about volcanoes. I think they are pretty, but I don’t really understand what makes them explode. I hope that we do a science unit on volcanoes.

+Improvements

I really want to improve my spelling test scores.

I also want to earn the chance to participate in the Sharpen the Saw activities next week. Last week I didn’t get to because I had two behavior marks. I had behavior marks because I didn’t do my homework and because I didn’t follow directions quickly.
