We did a take home test the week of Ashokan.  It was better than a normal test because we had more time to do it.  It was better and I got an amazing grade.

In math Margaret had us start to do math pop quizzes.   When she gave us these math quizzes, she was having us go over things we had learned in class.  It was like extra extra practice.  It was fun because we were practicing multiple skills.  I also got better.

This year in math we had to practice our multiplacation.  We used a cool website called Xtramath that helped us tack down our mulltiplacation facts.  It was good practice because I passed and went onto the next level of two seconds instead of three.

When we read Beowulf this first semester, we had a couple of things that we had to do and one of them was annotation.  When we did annotation we had to underline important parts, symbolism and similes and metaphors.  We had to circle vocab and define it and at the end of a chapter we had to make a summary as short as possible while explaining the whole chapter though.  I think that annotation is important because it allows you to look back and focus more on the book.  I am proud of the well I underlined important parts.  I really want to improve on not reading ahead.

This semester I really didn’t super duper love anything because everything was so rushed and we couldn’t spend any time after school  having fun.  But my favorite so far was the conjugations.  An area of strength for me was in conjugations because I could conjugate  word I had never heard before.  A challenge for me was ER-verbs.  I made a lot of progress in conjugations and a little bit in ER-verbs.  My goal is to use google translate less and I am doing really well at it so far.  I am doing well because I am now using my french-english dictionary.
