3rd Quarter Reflections

3rd Quarter Reflections

   

      I think this quarter I really improved on my blogs and AOWs. I have more details and longer paragraphs. My word choice has definitely improved as well. I really think about the questions for my AOW. I used to just answer them, but now I really think about the questions. The most challenging part of the third quarter has been finding time to get my blogs and AOWs done. I don't really have a lot of time during the week. I get my work done by finding time in between practice and other homework. I usually have to do my assignments in 20 minute segments. However I remarkably get everything done.

     I think I have read about 10 books so far for my 40 book challenge. Most of the books I've been reading are longer or they are difficult to read. I feel like I've read more but maybe because the books I read are so long it makes me feel like I read a lot. However the only genres I have read are realistic fiction and some poetry. I really need to work on reading nonfiction and other genres.

    This quarter I have learned a lot about the world. Seeing the videos made by our Swedish penpals made me realise that kids in other countries are basically just like us. I learned they dress the same act the same. I also learned a lot about ISIS and the wars and controversy in the middle east. I've learned about this stuff from the AOWs. 

    I have learned a lot this quarter. I thought this quarter would feel a lot longer but it just flew by. Last year third quarter seemed to have lasted forever! I have also learned how to manage time a lot better this quarter as well. However, this quarter was definitely a lot more harder than the others. In conclusion, this quarter was pretty good I learned a lot. It has really made me excited for the last quarter, I can't believe it is almost the end of the year!
