In the book I liked some things and didn’t like some things, such as I liked the metaphors, but I didn’t like the graphic scenes. My favourite metaphor is “life is a big hotdog" I also loved the plot twists in the book like when Cole goes back to the island. One of the best metaphors of the book is "roll away your anger". I like it because it makes me laugh away any of my anger and it just rolls away from my body. you should be reminding yourself every once in a while that your ancestors are looking down upon you, so make them look at you in glee.

My spirit bear represents a sunrise. to me a sunrise is the dawn of a new day, a light in the dark, a fresh start. that's what i love, starting  everyday fresh, forgetting the past and looking forward to the future and living in the moment.

It may be your belief that everyone should be Christian and there is nobody aloud to be aboriginal or any other culture for that matter. That is racist and doesn’t need to be that way, especially with all the assimilation. Hitting or abusing children can end up with you behind bars, and you don’t want that. Also, people have a right to speak their own language from their home country and believe in their own religion, weather it be Christian, first nation, or anything, it is absolutely fine. So in your school you should let your students have a chance to speak freely in their own language, and reflect on their own religion or country. Not just brainwash them into thinking that Christian is the only allowed religion, that English is the only language they can speak, that their country is only Canada, weather they come from the east coast north coast west coast or south coast it doesn’t make a difference, what makes a difference is what they grow up to become. Growing shouldn’t be painful, stressful, or scary, it should be learning, growing, exercising, and playing. Not fear, irony, and stress.

   Pain is not a fun thing or a good thing, so consequences are usually painful they are unneeded and should not be hitting strapping or abusing students. Other sources of consequences could be cleaning whiteboards (or blackboards), staying after school for a small amount of time, or just being put in a corner

1. What am I proud of ?
    I'm most proud of my aquatic presentation in the middle of the term. I rocked it, I just went up there didn't really even use my cue cards at all because I was thinking it while I was up there so I didn't need to read them.
2. I worked hardest when...
    I worked hardest, again  on my aquatic biome presentation. i didn't have power point at my house, so I had to finish it all in the allowed time at school.
3. my behaviour this term was good, This had a positive effect on me  because I was more focused when it came time to learn.
4. the favourite thing I learned so far in this year was learning all about carley murphy.
5. On a whole, I have been coming to class prepared to learn because i'm always in a mood to learn new things from Mr. Dorland.
6. 3 things I need to start doing better to improve my academics are typing the right spelling, type a little bit  faster, and type without having to look at the key board.
7. I think I'm a good classmate because I try to help out as much as I can, and outside the classroom I watch out for my friends and hang out when I can
8. 3 things I need to start doing to be a better classmate are that I should be a bit quieter when I talk, to help others more around the class, and to help more people out on Edmodo
9. What do i expect in my comments section of my report card today? Well, I expect to see something along the lines of me being a good student.
10. 3 smart goals I have for next term are?
    By the third term I want to have lowered the volume of my voice by a lot, i will do this by talking in a softer voice than normal. I want to be able to run more than 1 lap around the field by the next term. I can do this by running in the snow and playing tag with my friends over the holidays, I also need to pace myself when I'm running laps around the field. I want to have completed a few short term goals like I want to be a bit better at typing. I can do this by keeping track of my goals and seeing what I need to do to achieve these goals over the holidays.

Hi, as you might be able to tell, my chosen platform for my new project is going to be in Imovie. I'm going to be doing this project with colton, Angelo, and I. 

Goals I have set for myself in the past are mainly just getting better at what I do. As a younger child I was really passionate about drumming. When I was that age I wanted to grow up to be a professional drummer. As I grew up, I played much more drums, everyone who watched would complement me on how well I could play.  I got older and realized that it is really hard to be a professional drummer takes a ton of thing s to learn and lots of gig, practice, and concerts which means I would be away from my family a lot. I have pursued this goal by taking private drum lessons and I practice a lot.  The way I would know if I had achieved my goal is that I check up on it once or twice every month sometimes I make little progress but every once in a while there is a huge jump closer to my goal.

   I like sports, experiments where I have to build something out of certain materials, if the topic links to something that I like, I'll go ahead and not want to stop doing it. Another way I will enjoy our topic of learning is if we get to talk about the current thing we are doing. those are ways you can reach me. I love video games and i cant deny it. but if you can somehow link learning with "CALL of duty" It would be my dream to do any subject! But if you can link it with any other video game, that would be amazing!!!! I would finally feel a whole. :D
