Tia's End Of Year Reflection

                 
                          
                               Over this year in grade five I have learned so much and grown so much. I have improved in so many ways and still need to improve in somethings. In the beginning of the year I wasn't a horrible student but iI did have many places of improvement. Like in writing or math. I also had places to improve as a person like my growth mindset. I used to think that good grades are all I want from my out come of school yet know I have learned to realize that I want to have agency for my learning and self. 
     
                 - Reading 
In reading I have improved because in the beginning  I wouldn't think deeply with books and figure out small easy parts that could have helped understand difficult parts in the story. Yet now I am able to comprehend and synthesize my texts. I am also able to notice sign posts that lead to deeper parts in the story. I have also improved in m jots I now think about what the story is telling me and create it in to a jot where I show my abilities of how I think of the book. I also know how to look at the book in different perspectives and angles. I put my self into different characters shoes and feel the character.

                 - Writing
In writing I have improved in a really dramatic way in the beginning of the year my writing was very plain and boring and this year I took many small and simple strategies to help me improve my writing. An example would be said is dead like  not using said and using other words like blurted or commanded. Also I have learned to show and not tell, cause if I just give away the answer of how the character is feeling in the book whats the point of reading it. In poetry I improved by writing about deep concepts involving human social issues and phycological human perspectives. 
                
                 - Math
In math I believe that I have improved not only academically I learned to like math as a fine subject. I used always be confused in many different equation and problems  but now I  am learning to use efficient strategies and to check my answers. I have also grown to like math and I like to put all my potential  in to my math work and problems. I have learnt to look at what I know and use what I know to figure out what I don't know. Sometimes problems would get tough but I have learned to persevere and use several perspectives and strategies to solve  the problem. 

                 - Science
 I have grown in science by learning to investigate and observe more and more.   I usually never used to question really important things and never to figure out the unknown. Really I never used to be interested in what the outcome of an experiment would be and my reviews  and observations wouldn't be elaborate. Now I  have learnt to  put my full potential in my projects and observations.  To talk about the cause and effect of the variable or so. 

                 
  - Social Studies 
During this year in social studies I have learned about many different civilizations and groups of people. Earlier in the year we were learning about the aztec empire. during our unit we learnt about how the aztec empire was fierce and strong and were a strong empire. It also talks about how the aztecs social systems and and ways and strategies of doing things helped them be successful. 
Now we are learning about science and technology and its impact on the world.
                
  - Citizenship
During my year in 5th grade I have grown to  become a better CAC citizen. I have learnt to have a growth mind set and to never give up. I think that these core values that I use in CAC are making CAC a fun and safe environment. An example would be how I would respect everyone around me and everyone does the same for me.  The most important core value to me is compassion cause I believe if we are compassionate to everybody around us than we will not have troubles in he future with self esteem and group work and school.  


Most proud of...
This year I am most proud of how I have grown to love learning. Many kids always say "school is so boring" "I hate school" "school is dumb" but I think why do kids take learning as a joke. I believe that school is a privilege and students must take it seriously which is what I have learnt is to enjoy it and like it cause not all kids get to go to school. Learning is fun and I have grown to put all my effort into my learning and I have learnt to appreciate it and use it wisely.


Most enjoyable... 
In grade five I think the most enjoyable thing we did of all was the trip to el mouezz street, Because the whole class got a chance to explore different traditions and life style the early arabs had. In addition we got to explore the architectural buildings and homes made in this time. Further more the grade fives got a chance to explore khan el Khalili which is a bazaar in old Cairo.   

Most challenging... 
During my time in grade five I think the most challenging thing we did all year was probably in math cause this year in math I improved so much but that did not all happen in a second. I would practice almost every day for half an hour and every week for two hours. And all that work did take me somewhere  for example my MAP test score in the beginning of the year  was   217  and in the end of the year it was  234. I think all the dedication and challenge took me to a point where I improved a lot.  The challenge was to face stress and tests and to find time to practice.
