Stop Motion "I Love My Chromebook" Reflection

Here is my reflective Statement for my Stop Go Animation video!

Reflection: Use the prompts on the IWB to reflect on the learning you did as part of the stop animation you made. Successful learners can also identify their next steps.

I think our Stop Motion Movie was great because we didn’t have too much detail and we had a perfect amount of pictures. We were quite creative with the drawings we made and maybe next time we could try not to get our fingers in the photo. My next step would be to make sure there are enough pictures for each scene so it could be long enough to read or observe.

Here is a video that is about why I love my Chromi!

Xtramaths Smiley Faces!

I am getting better an better everyday! I really want to get 100 questions right in a row!

XtraMath

I need to keep working on the questions highlighted in orangey yellow. Now, I'm going to write these wrong answers onto a whiteboard and get a buddy to test me on them. I hope next time I get them right!

See if you know the answer when you have to answer them in 2 secs.

Book Club Reflection!

---

My Book Club novel is: The Sign Of The Warrior

---

Backward-Looking:

How much did you know about Book Club before we started?

I thought it was just a club where adults usually go to and talk about the book that they’ve read. I also thought that they just discuss what book they are going to read, or what page/chapter they’re going to read up to.

---

Inward-Looking:

What were your goals for Reading and Book Club? Have your goals changed? Are you on track to meet your goals?

One goal of mine was to “Make a conclusion or an assumption.” I did not understand what it ment and didn’t know if I could achieve it. Untill, a workshop came along called “T Workshop: Make a conclusion or an assumption.” Just what I needed!

---

Outward-Looking:

If you were the teacher, what comments would you make about your learning so far?

I would think about, how much work I have been doing related to my goal and if I was working hard. I would also see if I was really trying to achieve my goal and if I really want to achieve at a high standard.

---

Forward-Looking:

As you look at your work so far, what's one thing that you would like to try to improve upon?

I wish I could read more at home so I can catch up with my group and so I will see what the story is about in a nick of time!

My What?, So What?, Now What? Reflection

What?

In my amazing adventure in Genius Hour, I have been through a lot. I have been: Researching, Publishing, Decorating and much more. It was a lot of work but at least I speeded through it.

So What?

With this great idea of Genius Hour, I get to choose what topic I want to learn! It helps us to create interest in individual things. It helped me so much because you don’t need the teacher nagging on and on about what you have to do all the time.

Now What?

I am going to try decorate my work even more so it will look eye catching and so it will look pretty and not plain on boring. Also, I am going to try make sure that everything makes sense and add in some images that is related to the text.

May Road Trip

What?

What I learn’t at the amazing May Road Trip! Was not to be shy and give things ago. Because, what happens if that is the only time you will have an opportunity to do something like that? So thats what I did, I gave things a go and made a lot of new friends. When I say a lot, I MEAN a lot.

So what?

It helped me a lot with being more confident around new people I haven’t met before. Also, since we have been doing warm up games, it gave everyone an opportunity to meet new people. Possibly some old friends that we've met before.

Now what?

Now, I am not going to be shy with other students any more, especially since I have a lot of encouragement from my brand new friends, and obviously my old friends too. Never forget your old ones!

We have been working on Genius Hour projects! For those who have not a clue of what Genius Hour projects are. It is a project that you pick any topic or passion to work on that you are really interested in! So, my Genius Hour project was about “We Wonder How Words and Numbers Work In Different Languages?” It was a lot of work to get that question, but it was worth it.

My Learn To Code Reflection

What:

I have learnt was that there are codes to everything. To begin with, codes help generate games and all sought of things.

So what:

That helped me with was figuring out codes to finish levels, earn trophies. But, most importantly, it taught me how to problem solve! What an amazing tool to use when creating objects, and other things!

Now what:

My goal is to keep trying to get better at coding and never give up because it is quite hard (Actually really hard) to code when you are underestimated.
