=toc= =**Introduction **= I am good at tests and get good marks on assignments in science. Also I’m good at quizzes in math. To things I need to improve on is doing all my math homework not just some. And asking for help in math when I need it. My goals for the next 6 weeks of school is to study harder in every class so this years exams are a lot higher than the last one I had. =Adult Response= In looking at your work I would like to compliment you on the following 2 things:

In the last 6 weeks of school I will help you reach your goals by: =My Subjects= =Math= Term 1 Reflection This term I learned about ratios witch was my favourite and was easy to me. We also learned about proportional reasoning and rate. Around the end of term 1 we did a sesame street video and my partners were Jennily, Krizna and Samara. Other things in math we learned was Pythagoras. Which is a right angled triangle and square of the long side is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. And the formula is a2 + b2 = c2.

=[|Sophia's Great big book of integers]= = = Integers can be positive or negative odd or even. A negative number is a number that is less than O. An even number can be divided by 2. An odd number can't be evenly divided by 2. O is an even number and it is not positive or negitive just 0 ** -NEGATIVE is blue ** ** +POSITIVE is red ** ** BOTH=zero pair ** Remember the song //"use a zero pair when subtracting something// //that is not there"// (use this song it will help) Grade 7 way Using brackets **** Standard form Not using brackets **( X )** If you are having trouble and you don't understand intergers use a number line or think of it as money.(try it out right now) When you have an even number of negative factors the product is POSITIVE ODD When you have an odd number of negative factors the product is negative== Examples: =-11-(4)=-7 **- - - - - - - ( - - - -** **)** Take this away = =22-(-9)= =22-+(-9)=31 **+ + + + + + + + + +** **+ + + + + + + + + + + + ** = =** - - - - - - - - - **= = **+ + + + + + + + +** = = These are supposed to be zero pairs = =-9 +4 +(-9)= =-9 +4 -9= =-9 -9 +4 a number line is a good strategyfor me= =-18+4= =-14== =example of multyplying integers:= =7X-2= =Forget the signs and multyply normaly = =7X2= =14= =Now you can go back to the signs You know that a positive times a negative is a negative So your answer is -14== Parent Quiz Fractions Parent Quiz

=Language Arts= __Explore Response Novel Study-Iqbal Chapter One__

I have finished reading chapter one of the novel, Iqbal by Francsesco D’Adamo. The genre of this book falls into the realistic fiction category. In the book the author has chosen not to include any illustrations because this book is written like a novel. The story is in the eyes of Fatima a 10 year old girl who gets to know Iqbal Masih and why he appeared. The Chapter takes place in a carpet factory in Lahore, Pakistan ran by the master Hussain Khan.

The authors purpose in writing Iqbal is to inform the reader about the issue of child labour. I am reading this text to gain a deeper understanding about the on going issue of employing children in factories and workshops. Child Labour is a human rights issue of employing children in factories and workshops. Child labour is a human rights issue that everyone should be aware of.

Some key lines worth remembering from this text are “Memories fade like worn carpets” because Fatima was forgetting about her family and were she came from. This line is also a simile that the author used to compare a character (Fatima) memories to a worn carpet. Another key line worth remembering is "tthen he drew many other lines one next to the othe, as straight as the  hair on the back of a frightened dog” and “I studied those mysterious lines, thick as trees in a forest”. I chose both of these lines because it shows how that Fatima cannot read. Another key line worth remembering is “Very few of us had enough energy to talk or laugh” I chose it because it tells you how weak they are from poor living condition. Lastly, a final key line is “Until Iqbal arrived”. I chose this line in the text because everything changes when he arrives.   The organizational features and/or supports that helped me read this book or got in the way of my understanding is that it is easy to follow and read. I think that the reason why the author put numbers instead of words for titles for every chapter was so you could figure out what was going to happen yourself.

Subject: L.A. Topic: English Language Arts Short- " Thank You Ma'am" by Langston Hughes I was required to copose a friendly letter using info from a short story. There are several reasons I am doing this writing assignment. First I learned the elements of a short story and learned to identify them in our story. Next, we learned the components to write in a friendly letter format. then, we applied specific story details and wrote in the first person as if we were a character from the shrt story.
 * Task: What** was I asked to do for this assignment?
 * Intent: Why** am I completing this assignmen?

- use proper Friendly letter format referring to letter frame. - compose the rough copy letter using specific details from the short story and write the letter from the perspective of one of the main characters in the story. - Remember to use appropiate tone and audience for the letter. - complete all steps in the writing process as set out in the assignment directions What motivates people and organizations in their approach to the environment? Consider the following factors: money, publicity, votes, community benefits, prizes and awards? What limits their ability to be “green?”
 * Criteria: How** do I know what I needed to do to be succesful in copleting this assignment?
 * Thank-You Ma'am**
 * Simile Definition Card**
 * Questions for Discussion After the Show**
 * 1. **How does The Man Who Planted Trees relate to us, to me, to the school and to the local community?
 * The man who planted trees relates to us, to me, and the economy because we are currently trying to make the earth a better place to live and we are also trying to plant more trees because trees produce oxygen. But along the way we cut down so many trees we have to replant one in its place **

The positive outcomes motivate the people to help the environment such as how it will improve their lifestyle and how it will benefit their community. Organizations are motivated to help the community by the publicity and money that could come from their actions. People running for a government position might be motivated by getting more voets. Money, limits people’s ability to be “green.”
