-Chastisement. I had No idea that this was a word but after vocab.com I know that it's a word. I've found so many new words on vocab.com that I didn't know before.
-Jeer. I had no idea that jeering was a thing until around my 4th time using vocab.com. Apparently is a type of laughing I only thought there was 1 type of laughing.
-Distraught. When I first saw this word I swear I thought It had to do with a horse walking because I heard someone say when horses are on a stroll they traught.
-Chortle. Another type of laugh that I didn't even know existed.
-Petulant. Another word I had no idea what it meant. Apparently it means easily annoyed.
-Palpable. This is probably my favorite word that I've learned because It just sounds cool.

. My favorite part of 6th grade has been everything love the teachers love the school it is fantastic

.Well I have a lot of plans for summer break I am going to california and driving the pacific coast highway and I am going to hang out with my friends play baseball and then In july I am going to New york like I always do every year to visit my grandparents and have fun outdoors. I might also go hiking and fishing in the mountains with my cousin who moved here from pennsylvania in January.

This is my favorite fire-up because I love self reflecting on old fire-up or just anything. Because I think that it is cool to see how much I've learned and grown.

2/27/17

I think that I need to focus on typing faster and grammar because I have ok grammar but there's always room for improvement.

I probably need to focus more in class and listen to Mrs. Cribby more instead of being in my own world.

I probably need to focus on good writers. Instead of just not caring.

I have grown a lot in the past 4-6 months by how when I started my emails were one sentence per section and now at least their 5 sentences per. I mean look at my first email I don't even talk about what I'm learning or what i'm doing I just said everything that had to do with language arts. Atleast I put my grades in and how i'm doing. Also I didn't put my newest a the top I just put everything below everything.

My First email:

9-27-16

Dear

Mom and Dad.

In School i’m having fun, getting good grades and being a good student… I think.  I’m doing good in science and I have all A+s and i'm having fun, I think MY GRADE IS A 4 because everything work wise is good quality. In Language Arts im doing my FIREWORKS DOCUMENT and doing good on that and got all caught up from when I was sick I think my Grade in LA is a 4 because I have all of my fireups in there in good quality for a 4/100%. My Grade in Math is a 4 because I have everything turned in and in good shape, also I only have to 3’s/85% but thats homework. In Social Studies I have a 4 because I have everything in good shape and everything's a 4 that I have in Geography. In Technology I have a 4 because i’m ahead of the class in coding and everything else, also Mr. Hernandez hasn’t put in any grades. In Choir I have I have a 4 because even though I gotta 3 my first grade. I got a better grades on my next notebook check. In Gym I have a 4 because I have no Grades in yet and I have done everything right and had fun.

# data[].attributes.body
The one Key that I think helped me the most with thinking is probably the Fire ups. like nate because is really gets me thinking about what we are doing for that day and I feel that it really helps me in many different ways including getting my brain in the mood to get going and just that it is a "Warm Up" really helps.

# data[].attributes.body
What has helped me the most with thinking is. Most of the fire ups. I can't really name any that stand out but most of the fireworks have really made me think. Sometimes I had to ask someone for help (Which it try to never do.) I would sometimes sit the whole class just thinking about what the fire up meant. Usually, I find It out right away but sometimes I will sit in class and try and figure it out on my own. Which I probably shouldn't do but it helps me with thinking and with Independence. Here's a fire-up that made me think.

# data[].attributes.body
To be completely honest I really don't like NoRedInk. I don't like it because it doesn't give me like an example like Vocabulary.com does and I feel like I cant really improve from that if I don't have those examples or clues like I have on Vocabulary. Plus if you are at like 50% and you miss a question it drops you like down to 30% so I find it very hard to master a topic when it does that.

# data[].attributes.body
Fire up

Something I feel like has impacted me on learning in school this year has just been the ability to learn new things.  I feel like my years in elementary school I have been just focused on learning one thing and I feel like like it has changed this year. Some sources I have to back up my point is in Geography.  I feel like I just wanted to learn about wars and stuff coming into this year but I feel so more open to learning new things this year.

Self Evaluation

I give myself a 4 because I answered the question thoroughly and carefully and I think I did a good job explaining detail.

Reading and what has helped me with reading

Reading and what has helped me with reading

# data[].attributes.body
What has helped me reading the most is when we close read articles or parts of stories I get to learn so much more about the book than I already knew. I thought I was an expert one a book after I read it but you're really a master after you close to read it.

# data[].attributes.body
How I have grown in Language arts this year.
I feel like my Language arts skills get better every week because I feel like I have got to the point that I feel like I know what I am doing and I feel like I could translate that into learning a lot more especially with writing.

Nicholas What I have Learned in this class

# data[].attributes.body
I have learned a lot but What I have learned the most is Becoming a better writer with dialogue. I feel like I have really caught on to that this year and I feel that it has helped me a lot with my story that I am writing.

# data[].attributes.body
Ive grown a lot since the first day of school. In more way than most people will think. Mostly because the only thing I remembered for 5th grade was math and a little bit of language arts. At the start of the year I thought I was pretty good at reading writing and thinking. But after the first week of language arts I new that I new nothing about those topics except for writing and reading. Then after you teaching us about all these things that we have access to too use to be better it helped a lot. So after a whole year I've probably learned twice as much this year out of all the years before.

# data[].attributes.body
First I will explain writing and one of the things that has helped me.

Look at this email it has no description it just says what my grades are and a description of my grade. It doesnt say anything about what im learning it just says why I have that grade.

Heres a present day email.

Dear mom and dad, so far in school i'm doing great not having as much fun as I was having because it's the end of the year and I am tired. I want summer it's so nice outside and i'm inside. I can't wait for may 24.

Language arts

I'm learning how to read, write, and new words on vocabulary.com. Also right now were working on a project which I'm almost done with i'm working on it with Nicholas Marusiak so we don't get totally bored out of our mind when we're doing it because i'm not in the mood for school.

Social Studies

We just did a Socratic Seminar about globalization and if we think it's bad good or inbetween. Right now we're learning about Canada's environment, and how to help make it better because canada is the world's biggest coal distributer and that's having a big impact on their environment.

Math

Were learning about surface area and how to calculate it.  Now we're doing a lot of volume I don't know why because everyone knows how to calculate it and were not doing circles or anything hard like that, but we might do that tomorrow.

Science

Me and my group are learning about Carlsbad Caverns. We just finished our project I hope that we get a 4 on it because we worked really hard. We have to make a future city about in Carlsbad caverns. We have to make a future city that doesn't run on any fossil fuels so it's healthy for the earth.

Technology

Were learning how to photoshop images like I photoshopped StarLord but put a bunch of vegetables on his face. (For a grade.) Also I photoshopped all my favorite TV shows like arrow, flash, and Dr.Who. We have to make a really nice cut around every photo, so each photo takes between 5-15 minutes or it takes 1 or 2 min. ( If it's already photoshopped.)

Gym/ Pe

Were learning how to play kickball, we were going to go outside yesterday but we couldn't because of thunder and lightning. I was ok at it. I haven't played for a while so I wasn't the best but I wasn't the worst. I got around 4 people out and made 1 run because my team isn't very good.

Choir

Were learning how to sing random songs, write out song lyrics.( Not the word's though.) And have fun. But by the middle of choir i'm saying to myself let me out of here I want to go home. Because i'm just bored after my first elective, and not as focused. But I try my hardest.

My new emails look so formal and nice compared to my old one. Where I just said my grades and why I had those grades.
Emails have helped my writing by. When I need to send a very nice and neat email for a job interview I know how to because I was sending email for three years of my life every Tuesday for around 2 and a half years.

Other things that have helped me with writing are when we close read. This helps me by

Nicholas- What I feel like I can improve on. 

# data[].attributes.body
Something that I think I can improve in is my figurative language. I feel like I get confused on it a lot and I want to fix that for the years to come.

# data[].attributes.body
Something I feel has helped me with Vocabulary.com is definitely my vocabulary. My vocabulary was kind of bad before and boy has it caught on. What I have really liked with working with vocabulary.com is the ability to read a definition of the word and I feel like that has helped me better understand the word in context and it has helped me a lot.

# data[].attributes.body
What has helped me the most is Vocabulary.com, I never really got or understanded Noredink but Vocab.com has really helped me with my spelling and use of words.

# data[].attributes.body
I So far we have learned how to become better readers, writers, and thinkers. But what has helped us on the way?
