Mid-year+Commentary

=home= = Mid Year Commentary. =

===Do Now: Like you, I'm a student too. I learn from each of you nearly every day. I'm asking each of you to take a few moments and share what went well, and what didn't go well. All I ask is for you to remain responsible and respectful.===

Chicken Nuggets- well this first semester was really surprising in a way...in almost every class there was something new that i didnt know of and it just made me all confused...i dont know how to explain it but when ever i am taught something new i tern to crash and fail on everything! i dont know why but yeah. As the days went by, weeks i finally got ahld f wat all my teachers where teaching me. I very proud of my self because i felt like i have improved alot in this past semester. Im very happy, i passed mrs. lesco's class....YEAH!!...i passed mr.larues class< so happy on that one because his class is HARD man!!!>.....i think i have a A in science and then in mr.murphys class i passed my test +}

Mr. L. Chicken Nuggets: I'm pleased that you're proud of and happy with what you've learned over this past semester. My hope for you is a simple one: Have faith and trust in yourself and in your teachers. "Whenever I'm taught something new I tend to crash and fail on everything." This is possible only if you allow it to be so. Jaremie A:MAN O MAN I AM GOOOD CHEEAAA first of all, i wanna thank everyone at begich middles school, especially mr. larue (congratulations on that thingy on thursday) for the help with everything and uhuh YEAAAA im sooo happy, i passed math!!! Everything went well, well im lieing, i struggled alot in science. I wonder if its that i have very little patience for waitng for things to happpen in experiments, i don't know, Exept for that, everything went welll, I miss everyone...kinda......jkjk..........MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! Mr. L. Jaremie: I miss my students too! Hey, I'll pass on your Science woes to Mrs. King. She'll want to know about your issues/concerns with lab experiments. I've never had much patience either!

Sarah Redmon: What went well was that I got my paper done and I think I did pretty well on it. What did not go so good was that I was not here for the whole book of __ Animal Farm __ so that got me on my test. Mr. L. Sarah: You missed some days; what should the strategy be to stay caught up? There will always be things popping up to get in your way. It's best to understand this truth early and develop a plan for dealing with each as they happen. Remember, success in live isn't so much about what happens as it is about what each of us does about what happens! See you in the New Year!

Charlene Nelson: Well, a lot of things went well for me this year. To be honest, I wasn't really into the book Animal Farm, I couldn't really pay attention to the book because I was bored out of my mind so I have no idea how I did on those papers we did. But I'm really looking forward to writing more in this class and showing of my writing skills=D. Haha. But yeah, I really liked the papers we wrote about the events that changed our lifes in sort of way, I liked expressing myself in that catagory. I hope we do more of that. ^_^

Mr. L: Charlene: Animal Farm is challenging. This is the year so many students struggled so with it. I'm not sure if it was how I taught it, or there was simply some other reason the majority of my students struggled so with it. I do hope you learned from its theme(s). We will do more writing after the New Year, and yes, there will be at least two more novels, hopefully they'll go over better.

Bao Kang Vang: In class I had some difficulties in remembering things. Class went by very fast. I managed to keep up with the information and new things learned. I think the test was pretty easy; though I'm not sure what grade I got. The book //"Animal Farm"// was interseting, but I wasn't sure if there was a good resolution mentioned. I felt bad for Boxer. Boxer was a good horse(political worker). Mr. L: Bao: I too feel badly for Boxer each time I read the book. Boxer represents so many of us who are content to allow others to lead us around without question; those who are easily led, are often easily misled. Remember this! We'll do many more things after the New Year, lots of writing, lots of reading, and hopefully lots of learning new things too.

Kirsten Z: Most of the things we did in class were pretty good. Some things i had a hard time, but as we continued it got easier. The book Animal Farm was to me a pretty good book even though some things i didn't understand in general it was pretty interesting and i liked how we write on these Wikispaces. its much easier to just get on and do our work on this because we get more time to explain our answers. Mr. L. Kirsten: Animal Farm is a tough book; I still feel strongly that even though it is difficult, it remains worth the effort. WIKI is an amazing tool, and like you, I love taking my time, reading others' work, and then posting my comments. I just wish I could figure out a way to prevent us from stepping all over each others' work.

`~.Kiesey.~`:: What went well was everyone passed 6th period. The book Animal Farm went pretty well too. Everyone tried hard this quarter. And Mr. La Rue taught us very well, I want to thank you Mr. La Rue because you're one of my favorite teachers and just thank you for everything;; thank you for all the things you taught us, for all the respect you gave us as we shown you respect, thank you for all those joy you bring to our souls-that's it for now- heehee. What didn't go well was that SOME people we just disrespectful to Mr. La Rue, after all the hard work he did for us. I don't know what else went wrong. Happy Holidays!!

Kiesey: It is I who am thankful for the joy of teaching so many wonderful young people. Not everything we do is/ or will be easy; most of it will be difficult, as all new learning should be; otherwise what is the point? Animal Farm is tough -- it is also worth it! The lessons in its pages are truly universal! After the New Year we'll do more writing, more reading, and lots more technology.
