Student Led Spring Conference

1. Student Led Spring Conference By: Mandy Ho

2. Language Arts In Language Arts I think I have done: Fair Well Very Well Outstanding I think this because I have done well on nearly all my work, but sometimes I got a lower score. One book I enjoyed in language arts this year was Slpendors and Glooms. I liked this book because it had a mysterious and magical plot, action-filled and mystery filled. One strategy I learned to make me a better reader was: To learn more words and meanings. Have you improved as a reader this year? Why or Why not? I have a lot, learning new words I haven’t known before. My goal for the last trimester is to become smart and brave enough to face 6th grade. I plan to achieve it by learning and becoming tough!

3. Writing In Writing I think I have done: Fair Well Very Well Outstanding This year I have written many different writing pieces. My favorite type of writing to do is ____Narrative____________________ because I don’t have to persuade anyone, I can just write what has happened or my opinion If I had to give someone advice on how to be a good writer it would be reread your work after you finish because most of the time you find a mistake The writing piece I would like to share with you is the Proverb Story The assignment was in the Ancient China part of the trimester. We had to pick a proverb and write a story relating to the proverb. I chose to share this piece with you because it was fun to write and I rarely have fun with writing stories. My goal for next trimester is write well in the Ancient Greece subject. Meaning writing great Greek mythology stories.

4. Math In Math I think I have done: Fair Well Very WellOutstanding I think this because I have learned a lot and I am one of the people who everyone asks for the answer. Some strategies I learned in math this year was: Pre algebra, Multiplying fractions, reducing fractions, and knowing in algebra when a letter is right next to a number it means multiply the letter by the number EXAMPLE: 2Y = 8 if Y=4. One thing I enjoyed in math this year was: Playing the math card game Something I found difficult in math this year was: Multiplying Fractions My goal for the last trimester is Get better scores on my tests I plan to achieve it by not stressing over tests so much.

In Science I think I have done: Fair Good Very Good Outstanding I think this because I always get my work done and it is fun One thing I’ve accomplished in SCIENCE this year that I want to share with you is the volcano in earth’s changing surface.
