Grade 7 2016-2017 Goals

 Goals:     

1) Personal Goal       My personal goal this year is, I want to dribble, pass, and shoot faster in Basketball. I will practice basketball three to four times a week and if I don't get to practice at school, I will go back home and watch a basketball player video like Stephen Curry. I will watch his video about how he dribble, pass, layup, and shoot. I will also try and practice basketball at home with my aunt too so I can learn how to defend an opposite side too. 


2) Math 
     My math goal this year is to be able to solve the problem faster and be able to think of some easy problem in my head. I will try to work on many different problems and try to use the watch, to limit when I need to finish thinking. Sometimes I will ask my dad or my mom to give me some hard problem and I will do it in my head. Every time when I went to a supermarket with my mom, I will ask my mom to ask me how much does it cost too. This is some ways to be able to reach my goal this year. I will measure by looking at my map math test if it improves or not. I will try to measure if I solve the problems faster by try to do about 10 problems and use a watch to time it. 

3) Language Art goals

     My goals for Language Art in this year are that I want to be able to read 8-10 books in 6 months and be able to identify several words. I will try to reach these two goals by reading more books and try to read 2 books in each month. Also, to reach another goal I will try to identify words while I reading each book too and put sticky notes on it and write the definitions. To measure this I will do it by, check my Goodreads and check my reading log every time. Also, another way to measure is to look at my map language and reading score if it improves from last year or not. 


4) Band Goals
     My goals for Bands are that I want to be able to play hard songs and play higher notes on Clarinet. I will practice Clarinet 4-5 times per week. I will try to look at the fingering charts and play the scale from lower c till higher c. I will also record myself play Clarinet at home and listen to it again if I play the right notes or if I sit in the right posture. I will measure these goals by record myself playing clarinet once 2 weeks.

I couldn't reach my first go but I reach my second goal. My first go was to read 8-10 in six months but I read just only 2-3 books in six months because it's big books and some days I didn't really read it. But my second goal was to identify words while I reading each book. In each book, I'll have sticky notes at the end of each chapter, and in each sticky notes it what I think each word are and below it is the real definition of it.  So I will keep all of this goals and try to reach my first goal but, I will make a new second goal which is I want to be able to summarize a story after I finish each chapter.

I still didn't meet my first goal cause in this year I didn't learn basketball anymore. Also, the second goal which was to be able to summarize a story after I finish each chapter........I reached that goal. First I practice by each chapter but then after that, I will try to summarize a story after I finish each 4 chapter. And for the third goal, I didn't meet it yet because sometimes when I was tired from playing sports after school, I just go back home and take a shower and do homework then sleep. So overall I will try to reach my first, second, and fourth goal again. But for third goals, I will change it to be able to make a connection from a story to real life. So I'm gonna achieve this goal by when I finish each 3 chapter, I will write it in my notebook or some piece of paper about the connection from the story to my real life. And then when I finish writing I can tell my mom to read it and give me the compliment of like is it ok and what should I improve more so I can make a connection better. :):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):)

5) Personal Goal: 
 I want to be able to sleep 8 hours. So in the next day, I can be really cheerful to school and not sleepy...............It important to me because of it also important to my learning too. If I go to school in a sleepy way, I wouldn't learn anything. I'll achieve this goal by always watch the clock and at 9:30 I should go up and sleep.
