I am also proud of how well I did on the Character Analysis: Supporting My Claims assessment. On the first on character trait #1, I got a 3 and I was really happy about that, given the fact that I typically get 2 and 2.5. I was even prouder of myself when on the second character trait I got a 3.5.

 I think, that I’m doing pretty well in reading class, but I think that I’m doing even better in writing class. One thing that I’m proud of in writing class in the spelling tests. I have been doing well on these since the beginning of the school year. Everyone started on the same level and took the same spelling test in the beginning of the school year. I got 3 on all of my spelling tests, and then I moved on to the advanced spelling group and I’m getting 4 on my test now.

 Lastly one of the things that I’m proud of myself is the first blog assessment ever. “ I’m a writer hear me roar.” I am really proud of this one because I got a 3.5 on it. I was new at blogging when I wrote this.  This blog was a struggle for me. When I first started it I think I went through 15 pieces of paper trying to make it personal, detailed, and good, and then finally making it the best that I could by putting different writing pieces together. Even though I still need to work on a lot of things to become a better reader and writer, I am still really proud of how well I did.

In reading this year I am proud of my reading comprehension skills. In the beginning of the year I was really bad with comprehending what I was reading, for example, I was reading and when I was finished I really didn't understand the book. But now using the tools that Mrs. Reuter gave me and focusing more on what I am reading I am getting much better on my reading comprehension. I can practice on my comprehension skills by reading more at home and reading slow and focus on what I am reading.

Writing:

In writing this year I am proud of my digital Motion Monday stamina. I used to be a really slow and not very accurate typer, but since we started digital Motion Mondays my stamina has improved drastically. I have been working really hard to help myself improve on my typing skills not only how fast but my accuracy. I have been practicing typing not only in Motion Mondays but also with typing lessons in Mrs. Vegas room. Overall I think that I am doing really good with typing.  

In reading, I am super proud because I can read a lot better than before I moved up a few levels and I got a lot better at reading difficult words in books. I like that I can also see the plot and theme in books that I would Just read for fun because Mrs.Reuter taught me how to find themes and the plot in any book, I even found one in a kid book they had like 10 words on each page and I found them in it still.

READING: I am proud of my book club work. We did it for the first time this year in January. I earned a 3.5 and I was really happy. My partner was Connor and he was a really good partner because he always had his work done. He didn’t talk about other things that we weren’t supposed to be talking about. When Mrs. Reuter came to listen to our conversation she smiled and wrote stuff down the entire time. She gave us some tips and said that we were a great group and that made me all warm and fuzzy inside. I hope that Mrs. Reuter chooses to have us do another book club thing. I am very proud of my book club score and hope to do it again. 

Writing:

In writing, I am really proud of my motion mondays.  The recent digital ones are my favorite so far.  My hand usually cramps when I write fast, and I often make mistakes when hand writing.  My handwriting gets really sloppy when I write fast, and I would only get 40-50 handwritten.  But a huge accomplishment for me is when we moved  to digital Motion Mondays.  I am usually a fast keyboard pecker.  I don’t like using the home row and I type at fast speeds.  Usually 70-80 words per minute.  Though, I am only getting 60-69 words per minute, because of I don’t know what to write about, and how my accuracy is.  I have to constantly focus on what I am typing so I don’t spell the word wrong.  That’s an issue.  I want to type fast, accurate and know what I am writing about so I can achive my goal of 100 words per minute.  

Success story:

So this was at winter’s conference night, me and my mom showed up at the 7:30pm appointment.  When I came into the classroom with my mom, Miss Reuter had a table ready for the parents.  I was sitting next to Miss Reuter and next to my mom.  At first I was nervous of the conference because I thought I was getting failing grades.  But turns out I was doing just fine.  I was blushing and smiling because I felt good in myself.  Miss Reuter said I was doing awesome in writing and reading.  Writing is usually my weak spot, so I felt so good when I heard I was doing great in writing.  

WRITING:  In writing, I am proud of my spelling and my Motion Mondays. For spelling, all I need is one more three and then I will be in advanced spelling and for motion Mondays I have almost reached my goal of fifty words per minute because right now I am at 46 and 49 words per minute.

WRITING: In writing, I was able to break the maximum amount of wpm you can have on the power writing chart on my first ever try on digital motion Mondays, which is 75 by the way. Not only that but I was also able to write about interesting topics for the blogs that we have started. I have also learned how to pick out and support a certain theme in a story that is represented throughout the entire book. Using a thesis state that will give a taste of the rest of the essay and is clear and concise. Through the entirety of writing, I have learned to do many things that range from learning how to write a personal narrative to supporting a theme using text evidence. These things show how I have grown from a student that has forgotten pretty much everything that I have learned in 5th grade, to someone that is able to proudly say that he is almost ready for 7th grade.

Reading: I am proud of my book club book work. We did it for the first time this year and I got a 4. I had Owen P. and Neil in my group. They didn’t go off topic they stayed on the topic that we were on for that day. They didn’t talk to other teams when we had a discussion. When Mrs.Reuter listen in our group she wrote down a lot of stuff. She also gave us a lot of feedback, so we know for the next time we had a meeting we would work on the stuff she told us to work on. She also said that we were a really good group and we should work on things here and there but overall we were a good group. 

 WRITING: In writing, I feel my stamina, and ideas have changed a ton since the beginning of the year. I especially feel that my blogs have helped me progress on my writing skills. I feel very accomplished in the blog area, because I think they’re a way to let your ideas flow. On my most recent blog, I got a 4, 4, and a 3. Honestly, although blogs have helped me grow, my blog scores have stayed mostly the same. On my first ever blog, I got a 4. I find that intriguing, knowing that blogs have helped me to progress in my writing. Looking back at my first ever padlet draft, I see how small it is, compared to this. My last one was about only 6 sentences! That’s quite a difference! Not to brag but, I’ve always found myself fond of spelling, and this year, advanced spelling has showed me what a challenge it really is! Compared to prior years, we only had to spell the words instead of state the definitions, roots, root definitions, and spell the word correctly! I still like spelling though, and  don’t find myself giving up on spelling days. This year, I’ve had 8 3’s, and 2 4’s! Nothing below a 3, which is good enough for me. 

 In conclusion, we have grown a lot from September to now. Speaking for the whole class, the stamina given from fall to now, is amazing. Although not every test is going to be a perfect 4, above and beyond, sometimes we have those really impressing moments, even out of tests. My goal is to continue persevering, and growing as a learner in language arts.

Reading: So far in reading, I have done well in book clubs, but one thing is I got a 2.5 in book clubs because I didn’t finish something that was incomplete. I also have worked very hard on fiction text evidence assessments because I got a 3 and I had to really work hard to get that, because I have gotten lots of two’s and because I had to step up my game if I wanted to be able to have freedom at my house. 

Writing: In writing, i’m most proud of my blogs because I always get good grades on them and they can be totally fictional or what I did on the weekend. This is one of my success because I get good grades in the grade book and I'm one less blog away from being done with the school year.

READING: Something that I am very proud of this year in reading is my bookmark jots. I now am doing detailed jots about my book, instead of “I wonder…” or “I think…”(not that these are bad jot starters, I just have been doing more detailed jots and I'm proud of that). I’ve been doing lots of theme jots lately, which I’m very proud of. My growth in jots this year is to me, unbelievable. I’m also very proud of my text evidence assessments. I’ve been getting really good grades on my text evidence assessments. In the beginning of the year, I barely knew what text evidence was, but now, I’m super familiar with it. I’m super proud of my overall growth in reading this year, but I’m especially proud of my bookmark jots and my text evidence assessments.

READING: In reading, I went up a level in reading and now I am really proud of what my level for reading is.Another thing that  I am also really proud of is my bookmark jots. This past week is one of the best jots I have ever done. I am really proud of it.I have put a lot of thought into my jots to make them the best they can be. I hope to continue the streak of awesome jots in the last two terms. 

READING: One thing I am proud of in reading is my reading level. When we met and read a book with Mrs.Reuter a little before school starts, like every year, I was kind of nervous. After I read the book and Mrs.Reuter told me my reading level I was so proud of myself! I’m excited to try out new books in my reading level. Another thing I am proud of in reading is our final plot and theme assessment. On that assessment, I got two 4’s! I am very proud of myself because it took me two or three whole reading classes to finish it. I did it on Counting by 7s, by Holly Goldberg Sloan. I added detail but not the important little details that you don’t need in a summary. I am also very proud of this in reading.

 READING: In my Plot and Theme assessment, I got a 3 on the plot part and a 4 on the theme part. I am proud of this because I worked really hard on this assessment and it made me feel really good about myself. In the future, I want to get more 4’s because you feel really good when you get a 4. My next thing I am proud of is my Character Analysis because I got a 3. I did it on Slower Than the Rest. I did this text because it really spoke to me, it really paid off because I got a good grade. Next time ewe do an assessment I want to push myself so I get a 4!!

Writing: In writing I feel like I need to participate in the lesson so then it would be more clear to me when we are set off to do the work. In spelling I almost get threes I am so close to getting it how i would get it is by studying the words each night. When we did the literary essay I feel confident when I turn in the paper. When I do my blog I need to work on my punctuation to get that up to an 3. 

READING: Reading is my favorite subject in school. Once, for a text evidence assessment, I was tested at a seventh/eighth-grade level and received a 3, and that’s what I’m proudest of so far! I’m pretty good at character analysis, along with plot and theme assessments. I love doing my weekly jot bookmarks, as they make me think and look in between the lines of my book. I like silent reading time the most, though, as it gives me time in school to simply relax and not really put my mind into it. For my F&P test, I went up a level, and that made me really happy! I really liked the story mountain assessment for The Girl Who Owned a City, because it took me a while and I got a 4. 

So, that concludes that! Thanks for taking time to read this!

Writing: I am proud of my blogs because I get a lot of 3 some 3.5 and rarely a 2.5 I am proud because I did the work of so many blogs with good scores that I think it feels better than just doing good on one and I did good on all of them my worst score was a 2 on spelling and punctuation and I am not the best for spelling and punctuation and that is why I am proud.  

I am most proud of my blogs specifically my most recent one. I am very proud of this blog because when I first heard about blogs I was a little nervous. However, when the time came for our first blog I got proficient and exceeding scores. But I was never able to bring my spelling and punctuation up for a 3 to well a 3.5 or a 4. So when she passed back this blog I was thrilled; I got a four in content a four in organization, and a 3.5 in spelling and punctuation. I was really happy, as silly as it might sound to you it meant a lot to me. This is one of my favorite writing pieces. 

Reading:

I am most proud about my text evidence benchmark assessment. For the first one (my knowledge not being so good) I was a little nervous and was sure I would fail, but I still tried my best like always; I got a four. For the next benchmark assessment, I was given a challenge. I was nervous but I tried my best; I got a 3.5. These two assessments are really my top 2 favorite reading papers and I’m really proud of them.   

I am proud of my blogs because each time I turn in my blog I get 3’s and 4's. I also like doing blogs because it allows me to write about what I want and it allows me to get feedback without it having to be one of my actual papers. I also enjoy it because it is a skill I'm good at though I can still improve upon it by making it more detailed. I could also find different topics to make my stories more interesting and hook more readers in because ten I can know what I did well on and what I can improve upon. But now that we are starting informational blogs it will be more of a challenge because we’ll be having to write about a requires piece.

Reading

I really did good on my book clubs because I got a 3.5 on the rubric. I was prepared every day and I met the requirements about the definition, question, and quote. But I could’ve improved on making them bigger or having more Because my group would after we shared our quotes and that we would just talk about other stuff that is happening in the book. Also some of our conversations we would just go back and forth of why this or this happened or I think the so and so is still alive. We could’ve had a better planned out conversation so we had a couple topics to talk about, so overall we could’ve just had a better planned out conversation.

Writing: In writing what I am most proud of SO FAR are my advanced spelling tests. I had a rocky start in regular, (before I got in advanced) but I started to do better. To get into advanced spelling you you had to get three 3’s in the regular group. It took me a couple tries to get into advanced spelling but I eventually did and have taken two tests in advanced. The thing I like about advanced is that it’s not all about spelling the word correctly, it’s about more. Their latin roots, root definition, and the word’s definition. In advanced, I am on a streak of 4’s so far which is really good. On my first advanced I got 22/24 correct and on my second I got 28/28!! I am very proud of those two tests. 

In writing, I feel very good about myself, and I’m also doing good. So far this year, all of my blog grades have been 3’s & 4’s. Also, in spelling I’m getting 3’s & 4’s. My 2 best blogs were: I’m A Writer Hear Me Roar, and If I Were In The NBA. Writing is also one of my favorite subjects, and my favorite way to write in writing, is to write a persuasive essay. I hope to continue to do good in writing also.

READING: In reading, one thing I am proud of is my bookmarks. I am proud of my bookmarks because That is one thing I have not turned in late a lot. I have turned it in late a few times, but I have not turned it in that late. Another thing I am proud of is Text Evidence. I am proud of text evidence because I have found out how to find the right evidence. The last thing I am proud of is my Fall Map Score. I made a lot of progress this year than in previous years. A goal I have is to go up at least 5 to 10 points and to get better at some things.

READING: Honestly, I can not say how much I have grown in my opinion. An example is my bookmarks. Looking back at my first bookmark I've done, I have to admit, it was pretty bad compared to the ones I have now. My jots now take up two spaces on my bookmark! They are filled with evidence from the text, page numbers, my thinking and more. Another quick example is my book club packet. I got a 4 as a grade on that. I really like it and I think I did an awesome job on that! To conclude this, I give all of my thanks to Mrs. Reuter! She is the one who taught me LOTS of new things and techniques. So, thanks, Mrs. Reuter! You are awesome!

In reading, I am proud of my reading bookmark jots. In the beginning of the year, I wasn’t that strong in jots. I put a couple of sentences and that was really it. Over time I have grown stronger in my jots and have put a lot more effort into my jots. I am overall proud of my jots and reading in general. I have moved up many levels in reading and I am very proud, I never thought I would make it this far in reading. I’m not strong in reading so that’s why I am proud of how far I come in term 4. I know that I have grown because when we are learning something in class, for example, theme. I incorporated a theme jot onto my bookmark. At the beginning of the year, I really disliked reading because I could never find a good book to read and I soon got very very bored of reading and that’s another reason why I am not strong in reading is because I don’t like to read. But this year I have learned to love reading and read good books that I enjoy this year. 

WRITING:

I am the most proud of my motion Monday on paper and digitally. At first, I was in the low 40’s for words per minute on paper. Over time I have grown stronger and my hand wrote faster. My highest score was……70 words per minute!! I know it seems not true but it is!! I worked super hard and wrote super fast to get that high.  It was very hard to get to that point but I did it, I reached my goal!! I have improved so much !!! On the digitally my highest so far has been low 60’s. I love typing and I have very good speed. I plan on getting more accurate with my words. I also plan on working on my speed and getting more speed to get more words per minute. Overall I am very proud of my writing but I am most proud of my motion Mondays, especially digitally.

READING:  I love to read. I am proud of reading the Beautiful Creatures Novels and I have gotten really far and I really love the romance and drama and comedy and on the back, it says, “Show this to Twilight lovers!” so I think that you would like it too. 

   Reading: I am proud to say that I have been doing really well in my reading time and jots. I love reading books especially the series “Ranger's Apprentice” because it's a fantasy story about a group of orphans about are age grow up to be heros in the mid evil times. I also like telling about my book in my jots and hope that they encourage people to read this series.

I am extraordinarily proud of my reading class abilities and the strong connection I’ve created with reading. One thing I am extremely proud of are my bookmarks. I am greatly proud of my bookmarks and how I have turned in every bookmark assigned this year. I have taken a look at my bookmarks in the beginning of the year and compared them to my previous bookmarks. The difference in jots is amazing, my growth in reading minutes is utterly astounding, and my overall bookmark developing is incredible. I am so very fortunate to have Mrs. Reuter as a mentor and I’m highly privileged to be learning about all of the advanced knowledge she contains

I am also proud of my Mid- Year Text Evidence Assessment on, leaving animals out of the classroom. I am extremely proud of the whole paper and honored to use the 7/8th grade rubric. For the assessment I received a 3.5 on the advanced rubric, and I will practice and work on bumping that grade up. Overall, 6th grade reading class has been my favorite class I’ve ever attended. And I’m super privileged to have Mrs. Retuer as a teacher, to give me all of the information I need to strive and continue to grow. Thank you Mrs. Reuter for being the best reading teacher and uncovering the talent I have. 

Writing:   

I am quite proud of my writing class abilities, and how much I have grown from the beginning of the year. I’m especially proud of my blogs this year. So far, all of my blogs have been graded with two 4’s and one 3.5 or 3. I love all of the blogs I have written, and when a new one is assigned I try to release all of the amazing ideas I have onto paper, and craft them into a masterpiece. I very much appreciate Mrs. Reuter’s teaching strategies and constantly giving us examples of what our writing should look like. This helps me a lot because I’m a visual learner, and I must see what I’m supposed to do in order to push myself to the limit.   

I am also super proud of my character based literary essay. I am extremely proud of my advanced vocabulary, sentence structure, and writing skill I put into the essay. For the literary essay, I received a 3.5 for my lead, 4 for my organization and transition, 4 for my craft and elaboration, 3 for my ending, and 3.5 for conventions. I plan to practice my literary essay writing, and hopefully, I receive similar grades for the theme based literary essay we just completed. Again, I appreciate Mrs. Reuter and her astounding mentor skills. Throughout the essay writing process, she has walked us through everything we need to know in order to publish a successful piece, and she encouraged us to give it all we had. Thank you Mrs. Reuter for all of the valuable help and putting in so much work throughout the year.  

This year in reading I have grown greatly. The skill I am most proud is my jot taking ability. On the bookmarks in the beginning of the year, they were not as detailed as my bookmarks today, they lacked text evidence which I try to included on my previous bookmarks. In our jot assessments, I have gone up tremendously in my grades, my previous score is a 3.5. I am very proud of how much I’ve grown with my jot taking ability, and many more skills I have grown with.

Writing:

This year in writing I have grown a lot in many different ways. One way I think has stood out in progress is my leads. I use to have trouble on leads in previous essays, but now I have improved a lot. I went from not understanding to receiving a 3.5. Now I am confident with my leads and want to continue on them to try to get a 4.
