Goal 1

Few days before we had the science test I re- read the lesson, but at some points I didn't understand parts of the lesson like how to get the average speed and what the 3 laws of motions were, so I read a book about force and I got the answer for how to get average speed. I got the answer for the 3 laws of motion in the text book, but I couldn't seem to memorize the 3 laws of motion so I didn't do well in the test.

Goal 2 So far I read 3 novels that are just right. I made my own questions and I was able to answer the questions. The books I read had almost the same idea in a way. Since the books were similar it was easier to understand the stories.

Goal 3

This week I read 3 novels. One is __The Word Eater__ the second is __Triffic Chocolate__ and the last is __Lose, Team, Lose__. The first one is about a worm and if the worm eats a word thd word disappears. For example, if the worm eats the word vending machine than the machine vending machine will disappear from the universe. The second book is about who invented chocolate and the book talks about facts about chocolate. The last book is about a school called Rotten School, always loses the foot ball game so the main character asks if this girl, who is the strongest girl in the school, if she wants to join even thought ONLY boys are allowed.

Goal 1

This week we had a science test. I read the lesson(s) over two times. I found some of the books in my house that are related to science. When it was test time and I got the test I was surprised because I suddenly forgot what I memorized. On the test you needed to draw, color, match vocab., and answer a questions. I forgot most of what I memorized so I didn't do well on my test.

Goal 2

I read two books during the week. The first book is called __Paddington at large__. The second book is called __The Janitors Boy__.It was my second time reading __Paddington at large__ because the first time I read it I didn't understand the story. The second time I read __Paddington at large__ I got to understand much better then the first. __The Janitor's Boy__ was confusing at just a few parts, but I got to understand many parts of the story.

Goal 3

I read two books over the week. The first is called __Paddington at large__ and the second is called __The Janitor's Boy__. In the first book there are a lot of stories in the book. My favorite part is when Paddington tries to make taffy, but he messes the place up because a bear's paw doesn't spread much so the taffy gets stuck on him and goes to the hospital and cuts his fur off. The second book is by Andrew Clements,a famous author, this book is about a boy named Jack's dad is a janitor of Jack's school and Jack doesn't like his dad because he is a janitor. So later at the end Jack and his dad gets friendly then before.

Goal 1

This week we had a test on the digestive system, excretory system, circulatory system, and the respiratory system. I studied with the hand outs Mr. Sickles gave us, but I skipped some parts that I thought wouldn't be on the test. When the tests were handed out, some questions were the ones I skipped. When I got the teat back I got a bad grade, so I regreted.

Goal 2

This week I read three books. The first is called __Going Solo__ by Roald Dahl ( the second book of __Boy__ ) and the second is __The Giraffe and the Pelly and Me__ and the last is called __How I survived middle school__. __Going Solo__ was our literature circle book and it was mostly about war, but anyways __Going Solo__ was just right. __The Giraffe and the Pelly and Me__ was a book that was easy for me. __How I survived middle school__ was just right for me.

Goal 3

This week I read three books. __Going Solo__, __The Giraffe and the Pelly and Me__, and __How I survived middle school__ are the books. __Going Solo__ is about war and the life of Roald Dahl. __The Giraffe and the Pelly__ and Me is about a giraffe, pelly, monkey, and a boy. They were at the richest person's house cleaning the window, but a servant came out and told the richest man that there is someone in the house with a pistal to kill the wife. The giraffe, pelly, monkey, and boy help the man and arrest the criminal and they are rewarded. __How I survived middle school__ is about this enemy ,of the main character,sending live letters to the main character for fun since they both don't like each other.

Goal 1

I don't remember when ,but we had a final test on the digestive, circuratory, excretory, and the respiratory systems. We got to use a book about the systems that we made. The book goes in our science score. There were parts I didn't know because I didn't about it on my science book. There were questions about cells like mitochondria. Those were for extra credit. Well, I need to get our test back.

Goal 2

This week I finished reading two novels. The first book I finished was __F.Y.E.O(For Your Eye Only)__. __F.Y.E.O__ was a bit easy for me. The second book I finished reading was __Twilight__ which is the #1 New York Times Bestseller. __Twilight__ was a bit difficult for me with vocabulary like speculations, adolescence, or nonchalant. These words are what our group thought wasn't easy for us.

Goal 3

This week I read two novels. The first book I read is called __F.Y.E.O__. __F.Y.E.O__ is like a diary entry. The main character is a girl and she has a enemy who is a boy. The enemy's parents divorced and also the main character's parents. The main character's family live in the apartment of the enemy's dad. One day there were ducks and the ducks layed eggs in a tree near the apartment, but later the enemy's dad throws the eggs on the wall. Then the next day the enemy and main character are good friends. The other book I read is called __Twilight__. __Twilight__ is about a girl named Bella and she visits her dad in a town called Forks. In a school in Forks, where she went, she meets a strange guy named Edward, but she finds out he is a vampire.
