ELA 2nd Quarter Relfection

Of the books you have read this quarter, which was your favorite? Why?

My favorite book was Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. It was a very entertaining book to read because of all of the adventure and magic. This was actually the first Harry Potter book I’ve ever read. However, my older sister is a huge fan and always watches every movie so I know the story of each book. This book inspired me to read the other books within the series and even outside of it like Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.

In what area do you think you made your biggest improvements in English Language Arts?

I believe I made my biggest improvement in the IXL’s. In the beginning of the year and we started to do IXL I had trouble finishing them on time and would end up in working lunch. Nowadays, I haven't been in working lunch for IXL in a while and they have gotten a lot easier for me.

What is something you have accomplished since the new year that you are proud of?

I am very proud of the robot that my team has built for a competition tomorrow. It was very tough and we put a lot of effort in it and I think it has payed off and now my team is ready to go to the competition and win. The point of this robot was that it had to throw stars and cubes over a fence so it was tough to get the right kind parts and designs that brought my team to where we are now.

What has been the most challenging part of 2nd Quarter for you and what did/can you do to help overcome this?

The most challenging part of 2nd quarter was the Illinois Constitution test. I was very afraid of the it because I want to be able to graduate and I was hearing bad things about it from people who already took it such as my sister. I made flashcards for every question i thought would be on the test and studied every day before school, during school, and after school. I put in a lot of effort and I then passed with 100%.
