I'm going to work harder on my writing techniques and skills. I have not always been able to write my best or write efficiently. I usually turn in my assignments for writing late because I get bored or tired of writing for a long period of time. Some tips for myself would be to sit and relax and not always think of doing something else later in the day. For example, I could sing a song in my head and not realize what I'm writing but then in some way I do. Another tip would be to stay on task and block everyone else out of my head (unless it's you Mrs. Toenjes). I believe that these tips will help me in writing and to stay focused in all subjects. I want to be able to get good grades and maybe even straight As. I hope some of these tips will help other people in their struggles too. Stay strong!

I am going to end the year sprinting by doing well in math, science, and writing. I am going to try to do excellent on the math study island. I will also try to do well on the math Aims and all of the Aims tests. Any more math tests that we have I will try to get ninety percent or higher. I will study a lot for tests this last quarter. I'll try to read a few more books this quarter. I'll try to finish my AR goal early. For studying I generally study for forty five minutes and then ask someone to quiz me. In science of course I will study hard and try to learn a lot. In writing I will try to write good stories and write very well, have good grammar, and make my stories very descriptive. In persuasive essays I will try to make it very persuasive. I always try to do well because I once said that school is not for fun, it is to get a good education. I will try to end the year with straight A's or only one B.

I will end the year sprinting by working to improve my grades. I will try to work harder in school study more and try to improve. To do this I will need to maximize my brain power. As you know from my last blog, Mrs. Toenjes said chocolate increase brain power. So to meet my goal I am planning to increase my amount of Yorks that I eat by 10% a week. If I do this, I am positive that I will get 100% by the end of the year. No reason not to start my goal right. Having a York attack, got to go.

I'm going to start doing blog every Monday for the rest of the school year. Then I will be able to do my schoolwork easier without blog hanging over my head. I always study for a test by making an acronym for it. I sometimes make a little song to remember by, too. I'm also going to try to get better grades. I feel that this will stimulate me to do well in 7th grade. I'm going to sprint to the finish!!!!!

I'm going to end the year sprinting by doing better in math and reading. I don't really have any thing that helps in strenuating tests like AIMs. All I do is chew a lot of gum before, during, and after the test. I am certain I will do better in math, because I love it. Reading Isn't my strength in academics, but I will try. I'm determined to do my best in AIMs.

I am going to try to end my year sprinting by reading more. I am going to try to do this by not getting bored. When I get bored of it I will not stop and keep on going with it and not stop. I learned that last qurter I did not do well at all and did not try hared. I now know that if you try you will secsed. I am now reading a good book and I am in to it. It is so cute. I am trying so hard and i am geting there.

My goal is to read 1,000,000 words. I am going to read in all my free time to complete this. I've always wanted to read 1,000,000. I usually am only a couple thousand words away each year. This year I am going to do it. Instead of watching TV I am going to read. If I make 1,000,000 I would be so happy. It would be a big accomplishment.

I an going to work on being a better writer. I am trying to become a better writer because I want to be good at spelling. I also want to work being a better runner, even though I bet a lot of people.I want to become a better runner because I give up to easy (I am not saying I suck at runner) like jogging on the last lap of the 600. A way to reach your goals is to never give up. Never giving up is good because for example Joe Montana, He is calls the comeback player. So this are my reasons. Griffin :) :P B-) ;)
ReplyDeleteMy goal for the end of the year, is that I want to get 1 million words read. I'll do this b reading more often, instead of cramming reading at the end of the quarter. I also want to get an A in reading, so I can get principal's list as a great finish. I also, want to get a higher math average, instead of an A, I want an A+, because I want to show my teachers that I should be noticed for my math skills. Another goal, is to spend more time on studying, because sometimes, I forget to study and I will get a bad grade. With a bad grade, I'll have to get straight A's to get my average to a high percentage. I really hope that I can achieve these goals.

My goal for this last quarter would be to strengthen my reading skills. For example, on some tests Mrs. Wells says that the answering are all right, but one is above the rest. The problem is, I think all of them are equal so I disagree and have to argue my answers. But, if I don't argue and get them correct then I won't have to go to all of the stress to prove my point and i'll also get better grades. My second goal is to memorize certain things in Math. For example, I want to memorize the area, volume, surface area, and perimeter formulas for every shape. I also want to memorize the properties of Math. Also, i'll try to make my own food and be less lazy.
ReplyDeleteMy main goal th is year is to be able to run a lot faster. I can do it by being outside more, playing more sports, and running around more. The main reason why I want to do this is is because I'm going to be joining festival sports (the after school sports) next year and one thing they do a lot is track. It would also be awesome of I could get a million words before the end of the year so I can to leave Desert Trails with a good memory. I will miss this school a lot because I have a lot of memories here since kindergarten. I hope I can achieve my goals!!!

I would like to end the year doing a lot of great things and succeeding at everything I can but I really would like to work harder with my reading. Last quarter I didn't quite make my ar goal but this quarter I am really determined. I also really want to push my self harder to do more challenging math problems. At the beginning of the year I did more challenging math but I sort of started slacking on it. But I want to try and harder and more challenging math work. When I study i really don't have a specific study habit. All though if I'm doing my stems I'll start with like 5 at a time and memorize them and then I'll just keep going on. Sometimes if the stem is hard for me to memorize I think of a word that is similar and then it helps me. Another thing is if I'm studying for a math test I'll kind of do the same thing I will start with a couple problems at a time I'll do the same problems but with different topics. Over all it has been an awesome year.
ReplyDeleteGracie :D
This quarter I definitely want to end the year sprinting.The first goal is to get into good studying habits and to study on my weakest subjects and try to make them my strongest. I plan to do this by studying for 30 minutes each night, in hope that it will help. My second goal is to get at least 10 points larger than my AR goal. To accomplish this goal I plan to read a lot more. I want to read at least 40-60 minutes a day. I really hope that I can accomplish my goals by the end of the year. If I don´t get to I will accomplish my goals next year.

I would like to end the year planning to do a lot of great things.I am planning to read lots more good books and just get a habit of studying on my weak spots so next year I can be like that was easy.I also would like to read for at least 40 minutes.I would also like to walk in and have a worksheet and study as hard as I can for any tests!Next year I plan to be really good at the things I wasn't the best on.I think this is going to help me prepare for the couple of years of school.
ReplyDeleteI love monkeys!

I am going to work harder on takeing more time on all of my assighnments. I will continue to keepstudying and all the really boreing stuff that none of us like to do. Also, I will work on my writing skills because sometime I do not use the correct spelling puntuation ect. A goal I am setting for myself is to Get straight As This quarter. I also need to work on my reading a little bit because my AR level dropped a little bit. Finally, I just want to end sixth grade sprinting and having fun because this is my last year of Elementry school.
ReplyDeleteT minus 29 days until THE LAST DAY OF SCHOOL!!!

I will end the year sprinting by trying my best, and being a good friend. I am going to work harder on my writing, and my reading, because I am not the best at writing, or poetry. I also plann on working on my stems, and to practice my grammer skills. My idea of studying is that to keep trying until you can answer the question the second you read it. also if you don't get it right the first time, and can't figure it out take a brake, and come back later. Finally to keep studying you need to have a good attitude, and always try your best.
ReplyDeletethe one above is joey
ReplyDeleteMy way that I would end this year sprinting, is to try to READ MORE. I know it's a little crazy, but you can never read to much. I would want to read every single book that I could this year. I would also want to try and improve on math.
ReplyDeleteCurs id, curs id, MATH. I know that most think that I'm good at math, but to tell you the truth, I really HATE MATH. I get that it's helpful and all of that stuff, but it is so HARD! I mean, why, why would someone make MATH? Uh, another one of life's questions. I want to make this year in a sprint by trying to do more than I could the past 3 quarters.
I want to, and will, go out with a sprint by even getting into honors. Hopefully. But I think that I have been running for a while, so I think I'm ready for the sprint. And I'll start that sprint right now. I have a book to read.
Later, Kiara
I am goign to try harder at not talking during class and that i will try not to get out of my chair and talk to my friends until the end of the day and not shout out and instead rais my hand before I speak. And I am goign to accompish this goal by trying to catch myself before I speak. I have already caught myselft a couple of times. And I am going "to keep sprinting" (quote from mrs toenjes) until i reach my goal.
ReplyDeleteNOAH SHIEL sorry I made my sentences long is that ok mrs t?????
I'm going to end the year sprinting is paying attention and getting everything done in every class. A goal that I can set for myself is getting Honor Roll. I'm going to study hard and work more than I play. For studying I use a weird technique that actually works. You chew a certain flavor of gum, and if you're allowed to chew the gum while taking the test it helps you remember the answers. I think that this technique works well, but you are rarely allowed to chew gum in class. I hope to end the year sprinting.

I am going to end the year sprinting by studying for tests and trying my best. I am going to study as well as I can for every test at the end of the year. I am going to stay focused in class and at home. I will get all of my homework done and try to get all study island scores to be my very best. The most important goal to me would be getting Principal's List. I have been getting Honor Roll for the whole year. I want to improve and get Principal's List. I am going to finish this year sprinting as fast as I can and do my very best! Jessica
ReplyDeleteThe sprint I am planning to make at the end of this year is to read a million words. I am going to read a lot and do as much as I can to make this end of the year sprint. I think I can do this by reading instead of playing on the computer, or doing other useless things. I have read a million words in fourth grade and fifth grade, so I plan to do it again this year. My goal is to possibly get more words read than I did last year. Some tips I wold give to do this is to focus on reading and make sure you are reading for at least 30 minutes a day. I can't wait to hear my name on the announcements and get my picture taken to be on Millionaire's Club!!!! This is definitely a super awesome thing to accomplish and I would recommend it to everyone!

I'm really going to end the year sprinting by ummm- ugh gee now that I think about it, I don't know! Wait, wait here's a way I am going to try to get 3000 or more in Toenjes Tender to spend before the year is out!! Besides that I don't know. Ooo, maybe to make the superest, awesomest, supertasticest date (you know the one on the board) that has ever been made! Yeah I'll do that but I am going to need some seggestions from you guys. I mean it can't be the supertasticest if you guys don't like it right? Oh and also did you hear, this is about the last year for AIMS and then there are making a new test and uhgggg ITS GOING TO BE EVEN HARDER!!!! You know :P is what I say to that. I don't know if I have any test-taking-tips up my sleave but may I just say this.....

I will end the year sprinting by putting my very best into all I do. I want to excell in math the most by practicing math problems every day. I also want to keep reading on a daily basis so I can become a quicker reader. I hope I can find some exciting books that will also build my vocabulary.Last of all I want to excercise more so my whole body and mind is more alert. I think this will help me on doing better on tests. It may even help me be a faster thinker so I can come up with ideas fast too.
ReplyDeleteSusannah
I am going to try hard and putting my best into school. I am going to work at wrighting and math. I really like reading books so that should'nt be to hard. I am going to study stems too. I think that aims will provide a challenge to everyone though. I am not the best writer and will practice that.
ReplyDeleteJake
I am going to end the year sprinting by working hard.Something to help with tests is study more then you think is enough.I think the whole class will end the year sprinting.I actually think the whole 6th grade will end the year sprinting.This school year went by really quick.I cant wait to go to middle school.
ReplyDeleteXamoi
I am going to try my very best to end the year with all A's on my report card. Seeing that Aims is here already the year is about to end. Aims is usually challenging for a lot of people, including me. I also want to try to get a lot better at playing my violin even though I am not going to do Strings at Explorer. Getting all A's is my main goal. I will try my best and push my limits to make sure I achieve my goal
ReplyDeleteI will end the year sprinting by putting my very best into all I do. I want to exceed in reading the most by practicing my stems everyday. I also want to keep doing math everyday even if it means staying up all night. I hope I could find some ways to practice more so that I will be prepared for aims. Aims will prove to be a big challenge for me. I want to read all the time. It will help me with my vocabulary and comprehension. I love to read thicker books because then I learn more and they are very interesting. It may even help me to think of ideas that go outside the box. It could even help me think of ideas faster.
ReplyDeleteI think I am going to work harder on social studies and writing. I am not the best at that but i promised my self i would at least get honer role. It would be awesome if I got principals list. I am going to try hard to get an A+ in writing or at least try. Or get an A+ in social studies. I am going to try my hardest this semester.
ReplyDeleteDuring the end of the year I am going to get all A's. I also want to keep getting high L to J scores and see how high I can get. Some tips for me to keep getting high scores on tests and quiz's is to actually study and not just play after school. I also want to make sure I get to do all my homework with effort even though I don't get a grade on it. People don't realize next year we get graded on homework. So we have to prepare more so it isn't such a hassle to deal with it later. And that is how I plan on sprinting throughout the end of the year.
ReplyDeleteDylan
The end of the year is sprinting fast. My goal by the end of the year is to get Honor roll. The school year went by very fast, I still rember the beginning. I cant believe that next school year we will be in middle school. I will always do my best. This year I did really well about calling out.
ReplyDeleteKatlin :)
How I am going to end sprinting is study hard on my test and get good grades.Ways that help me on test to relax is to say blue skys in *then you breath in* gray skys out *breath out*.That always helps me relax and makes me think straighter.Some other goals that I want to do is finish my AR goal.Every year I have made my AR goal here at Desert Trails.Some other ways to help study or if your taking a test is sit up straight and take three deep breaths and then let them all out.
ReplyDeleteAlli
P.S.The blue and gray sky thing can also help when your stressed or doing yoga.
How I am going to end sprinting is I am going to work on my math and hopefully be ok at aims. Also I am going to try and pay more attention to my school work and not talk. If I can accomplish that then I will be very proud of my self. I have been trying a lot this year to pay more attention but it hasn't exactly worked out and I pretty much failed my attempts. But I hope that these couple last weeks of school that I will get it all good. I really REALLy want to get better at math because that is the number one thing that I am NOT great at and I am pretty bad at it. I hope that I will be all good for next year and that I am ready and all good. You have helped and taught me a lot.

I am going to end the year sprinting by trying my best. One of my goals for the end of the year is do do very well on AIMS. I would also like to get an A in reading. I will also work on all my grades and at least try t get honor roll but I am going to really try for principles list. I am also going to try my best not to have to take any points and be on my best behavior. I am going to try to make my AR goal also. I am going to read more than I usually do. That is how I am going to end the year sprinting.
