Core Competency Reflection

Posted by

Over coming the challenge of math and the difficult equations I faced in Pre Cal 12. I spent my time seeking help and getting tutoring in order to understand and learn how to solve complicated math problems, such as logs, functions and more. After seeking the help I needed and working one on one with my tutor i picked up on math very fast. I never gave up even when it was hard and developed tricks to help me make solving the equation easier. Because of my devotion to not give up on some challenges I was faced with, I was able to learn new techniques and skills. I thought I would only use my math skills in math class but I also use them outside of class with helping younger grades with their math and showing them the tricks that helped me. Finally being able to learn to ask for help has helped me in school and outside of school especially with my nail business. This is because when I was new to nails I was nervous to seek the help I needed. Ever since being able to ask for help in classes like math, I was also now able to seek help when needed outside of my school life.

I can identify ways in which my strengths can help me meet challenges, and how my challenges can be opportunities for growth. I have proven this with seeking help, as now when I have a question no matter what it is, I am not afraid to ask for help. This has benefitted me as now my work is much better and I have a better understanding of it, as well as pushing me out of my comfort zone to get help.

Beginner Spanish 11 Conversation

Posted by

Core Competency Reflection-

Communication-

Through out the class, we have learnt how to hold small conversations in Spanish, we have learnt different adjectives, words, vocabulary, pronunciation and the culture. When making this conversation, i found it was limited on what we could talk about within it. This is because we only learnt a small fraction of the language. Although, even though me and my partner faced challenges to over come when making this finial conversation, it was fun and enjoyable. Within our conversation, me and my partner tried to add in details about ourselves.

Personal And Social-

During this project, me and my partner connected outside of school through social media, although we made sure to use our class time to our advantage. We made sure the work was evenly done, and we each had our own sections of it to work on.

Positive Learner Identity

Taking clear notes, is very important to me because it keeps me organized and helps me manage my work making it easy to find. When I take clear notes I can look back on it makes it easier to take in the information and easier to understand, not only, but I don’t waste time trying to find a topic as all my notes are categorized.


Reflection

I used my note taking skills in science class and socials class the most, I spent time writing short formed notes on each topic with the topic underlined making it easy to find. Because I didn’t write to much about each topic it made it easier to understand and remember. I did this with topics such as World War One/two, chemistry, biology, physic and climate change.

In Mr Peterson metal 11, we are currently doing the metal box. To make the metal box, we use the iron worker and cut up the metal, then we tack the sides together getting a 90 degree angle. Once marked we weld the sides and then grind it down. I so far have no made any mistakes and am comfortable with welding. I did I have a few problems with having 90 degree angles but over all wasn’t that bad.

Asking a question –

I am able to ask questions when I need help, with math, English, etc. I am able to take the steps it takes to understand my work. I am able to learn well when asking for help, I ask for help when I’m un sure of how to do something, or need guidance with something. In English i ask many questions about what the criteria may be for certain projects. In the project I’m doing now on my novel study my job is to go to my teacher and ask her for the criteria.

Core Competency Goals

Posted by

How You Learn The Best?

I am a visual learning, hands on learning, and prefer working in a group or with a tutor. I find learning visually and hands on is easier then try to listen and take notes. I prefer to work with others that way if a small mistake or big mistake someone is there to point it out to me and show me how to do it right. I like learning in a group to see how others solve problems and their ideas. Know that I know how I learn the best I will take advantage of that and learn things and do things the way that makes sense to me to get high grades.

How Have You Improved This Year In…

I have improved in many ways since grade 9, one way I have improved is not getting distracted as much by friends or by my phone. I have improved in school and in my classes, by paying for attention and taking more notes, asking for more help when un clear and keeping my work and binder organized. these are very big improvements to me and I have worked hard to get here too. These improvements I have made will help me reach my goal of getting A’s.

I Show Others That I Truly Value Their Contributions By…

Making sure there ideas are used, when working in a group if someone has a idea I make sure we try it and use it. I show others I value what they do, by making sure they are heard and have a opinion , because its important everyone in a group has a say on something. Showing values in others work can also benefit me and not just them as they can show me easier, better, and correct ways on how to do something to help me learn and achieve my goal of good grades.
