My 3 students outcome

I am a active learner because every time I have something don't know about the homework, I will ask teachers and make sure that I understand.

I am a community contributor too, because i very enjoy community service and I'm not lazy at it.

last 1 is personal high character, because I respect classmates and students, and i'll say good morning or hello to them!!

My 3 habbits~!

What matter most to you? What is most important? What are your Values?

I think value is a person of high character that you show to other people, like honest, good manor etc. The most important is your personal manor (I think). My value is to kind to each other and helps each other.


What kind of person do you want to be?
I want to be a kind person not a person that only cares about himself.

What contribution do you want to make in life?

I want to help people that need help like the people that’s poor and the people don’t have enough money so we can help them with that question.

My List of value.

1.Kind.
2.Honest.
3.happy.
4.Healthy.
5.Helpful.
6.Good manor.

What roles do you have?

My roles is students, a good kid and have good manor. Good son of my Dad and Mom, a brother.


What do your value look like in your different roles?

Student & Active learner: Do your homework and hang it in time, no fighting with students. Ask questions that you don’t know.

Good kid and have good manor & person of high character: Say good morning and hello to people that you met. No deceiving people.

Good son of my dad and mom & person of high character: Help things you can do in your house, no bad mood (like hitting them…. bad…)

A brother & grow up: Give good thing to her, no fighting with them, take care of them.

Example of Mission Statement HABITS.

Respect each other, help people and not hurt people.

I will take some hard work from people that are doing too much works (like take a lot of things etc.)

I won’t cheat in test, do right thing.

I will say “good morning” and “hello” to other people.

I will eat healthy food and don’t eat junk food.



My top 3 habits.

1. Respect people, parents, teacher and students, a dog that’s on the street, they are all living things.

Steps to do that:

No hurting them. Look at the people in the eye that’s talking. Say “good morning” and “hello” to every body.

2. Help people that need help.

Steps to do that:

Every day walking on the street, if you see people that are not very convenient, you can help them. In the school, help teacher or students take heavy things if they can’t do it them self.

The top 5 list I'll use to organize time.

1). Set a goal, how long are you going to study?
2). Beginning with the harder homework and then do the easy 1.
3).Make a time list, or use sticky notes to write down what you need to do.
4).Take away the things that will attract you(ex: toys, NDSL, games etc.)
5).Review AND preview your homework or information you learn in class.

Search Engine? or Encyclopedia?

In humanities, I mostly use CNNC(child news) to write a news articles. Because the information in that website is very detail and it's very good to understand, not like some of the website that will put a lot information on it but it's not very good to understand. I won't search on the search engine is because it's not very useful and the information it gave is mass, by using a search engine I rather to use a onine encyclopedia. The information it give us is very detail and useful. It divide it into small parts and explain them each very detail. You can find the information very easy by using a online encyclpedia. Sometime I'll find information in the book because not every information is in internet, some of the information also can find in the book and maybe you can find information that's not in internet. So the most resourse I'll use to find information will be.Books, or online encyclopedia.

PS:sometime I'll use online worldbook.

Reflections on Learning~

Understanding- Understand means that you learn it and you can remember it very tightly, and you can also use it in your normal life.

Applying-Applying is a process that you need for learning, and a skill for doing homework and review.


Analyzing-Analyzing is to analyze things into smaller part or to separate things in to different group so it's easy to understand and review.

Synthesizing-Put knowledge that you already know all together to form a answer or to understand something.

Creating- Creating can be a blog post you create that's about what you do and it's in your OWN information and it's in your OWN words.
