"The end is near." After 174 days of freedom, choice, stress and homework we've all made it to the last week of grade 6.
So many memories,the first year of grade 6; locks & lockers~ panic and frustration, spirit week, Malaysia Week, assessment, grades, bake sales, Ancient Egyptian diaries, team celebrations and more!
The grade 7 teachers can't wait to meet you all in August, so to help them to get to know you, they have asked that you reflect on the year; both academically and work habits, as well as set some goals for grade 7. Remember your blog from grade 6 will move with you to grade 7, in a way it also becomes a mini portfolio of you as a learner. And even if you're leaving ISKL, this digital memory will travel with you forever.
In a well structured blog post, take the time to reflect on the following (Please answer the following questions as thoroughly as you can.)
1. What piece of work and learning are you most proud? Explain.
2. What were your greatest challenges? Explain.
3. Reflecting on your growth this year, what did you learn about yourself as a learner?
4. To evaluate your work habits, choose 1 of the following from each category (and provide explanations):
a) Behavior

b) Participation

Explanation:
c) Organization

Satisfactory

d) Effort

5. Based upon your reflections, write two personal learning goals for Grade 7 next year.
Goal 1 - In Grade 7, I plan to
Goal 2 - In Grade 7, I plan to
6. Is there any more information about yourself that you would like the teachers to know?
7. What was your favorite activity lesson in Humanities this year? What did you enjoy about it?
8. What activity do you wish we could have spent more time on?
9. Finally, cast your minds back to the first few months of middle school (when you arrived in Grade 6 ) what "Words of Wisdom" or "Advice" could you pass on to the Class of 2018?
Enjoy,
Mr. Fischer
