MY AWESOME XXC'S

1. I believe I have demonstrated outstanding in communication skills because I always talk to people to ask questions whether I need help or to see if they need help.

2. I've shown outstanding Personal Responsibility skills when I keep my locker clean because then this way I can find all my supplies I need for class so then I'm not late, or then I can quickly go grab it if I need it. 

3.  One example of when I demonstrated outstanding creative thinking is when I helped make my groups model for over consumption because I had to plan out what we were going to make. 

4. One example of when I demonstrated excellent social responsibility was when my partner and I each had a part to do in the model building and we had to show social responsibility by seeing where the other partner was and what else we could do if we were done. 

5. One example of when I demonstrated excellent critical thinking was when I had to figure out how to get from one number, to an even bigger to figure out how to build my model and graphs for over consumption. 

Goal: For the rest of this year, I would like to develop my critical thinking skills by asking deeper and thicker questions and by thinking harder and longer when I`m asked a question. 

Spring Break

We just got back from spring break today. I had so much fun! I hung out with friends, gamed, slept and almost broke my hip. Haahah. I almost broke it by doing a 180 on my snowboard. Oh well.. I will learn eventually. Hah. Andrea came over and we played Call of Duty: Black Ops II!! It was awesome! We kicked butt. We had Easter yesterday and I got a lot of chocolate and an iTunes card <3 I was soo happy. My grandparents and aunt came up and we had an Easter ice cream cake instead of Easter dinner. Next year, I hope to have an Easter egg hunt :D

Over Consumption Project Update!

We are officially done our over consumption project!!





In this project, I demonstrated communication skills by talking to my group and making sure we know what to do, and when we presented to another group. Something creative I did in this project is making the back ground and grass which had a river and flowers. A problem I ended up solving was how to do my graph for my countries. I only chose 1 country instead of all of them. Something I did that shows social responsibility was making sure I was fully prepared to work on this project and that I had all my materials that I needed. I showed social responsibility by making sure everyone had a job to do, and if they didn't, I found another part they could work on.  I enjoyed this project because I got to learn about how many trees people over consume in a certain amount of time and I got to use clay to build the models so we used little paper.
