1. + Annie’s School Year Parent Conferences Fall 2011

2. + The Seven Habits The 7 habits help me be more successful as a person. My favorite habit is “Be Proactive” because it has taught me to take responsibility for my own life. For example, instead of getting mad because YOU didn’t sign my agenda, I take responsibility to make sure I have my agenda signed before I get on the bus. I don’t blame you. I am proactive by making sure I have all of my homework in my backpack before I leave the classroom. I realize that it is my job to be successful and that I can’t blame anyone else.

3. + My Goals This year I set personal and academic goals. I learned goals are important so that I know what I want, and so that I can create a plan to accomplish it.

4. + My Personal Goal I want to make the Demo Jump Rope Team Things I have to do to make my goal: Practice every day Be prepared for clinics Keep trying even if it is hard

5. + Academic Goal I want to get 100% on three spelling tests in a row. Things I can do to make this goal: Study my words each night Do my spelling homework Use Spelling City Keep trying even if it is hard

6. + Spelling Here are my grades so far in spelling. Boom Town: 65% I forgot to study and didn’t do my homework What About Me: 79% I did do all my homework, but I didn’t really study. Alexander: 95% I studied AND did my homework! If I Made a Million: 100% I studied AND did my homework! My Rows and Piles of Coins: 74% I didn’t put first things first this week…

7. + Reading Check out my bar graph to see my reading test scores.

8. + Math We had our first math post test on estimating, addition, and subtraction I got an 85%. I am proud of my score because my pretest was only a 45% and I studied hard.

9. + Behavior I have had 3 behavior marks in 4 weeks. I had one behavior mark for not following directions quickly. I was reading my book instead of listening to Mrs. Richardson. I had two behavior marks because I forgot to get my agenda signed, and I also forgot my spelling homework. Next time, I want to have 0 behavior marks, so that I can do a sharpen the saw activity!

10. + I want to learn… I really want to learn about volcanoes. I think they are pretty, but I don’t really understand what makes them explode. I hope that we do a science unit on volcanoes.

11. + Improvements I really want to improve my spelling test scores. I also want to earn the chance to participate in the Sharpen the Saw activities next week. Last week I didn’t get to because I had two behavior marks. I had behavior marks because I didn’t do my homework and because I didn’t follow directions quickly.
