Term+2+Goals

=Term 2 Goals=

__Goal #1:__ I want to have my shoes on and my dayplanner or what I need for the day on my desk by the time the second bell rings.

__Goal #2__: I would like to participate in discussions and share my ideas with the class.

__Goal #3:__ I need to pay full attention to the teacher when she/he is talking instead of doodling or working while the teacher talks.

=Journal=

__January 3, 2011__ I have been doing a lot better at getting my shoes on and getting everythingI I need on my desk. I have my shoes on almost every day when the second bell rings. I still am having a bit of trouble remembering to bring my dayplanner to school, but I write what I need on a sheet of loseleaf and copy it into my dayplanner at home.

I have been doing better at participating in discussion, but it is still something I would like to improve on. I think I need to listen more closely to what the teacher is saying so I have a better idea what is going on and won't be as afraid of saying something random.

I have been a bit better at paying attention to the teacher, but I still find myself doodling and daydreaming when I should be paying better attention. I can try to quiz myself at the end of each class to make sure I heard and learned what I needed to.

__February 18, 2011__ I have not been doing so well with getting my dayplanner at my desk. I lost my dayplanner for a period of time so I couldn't get it out. Then we weren't updating them as much. I have also been slacking on getting on my shoes. I will try better next term to fulfill my goal.

I have been doing considerably better at participating in discussion. I feel my ideas are being heard and I am felling better about my ideas. I am listening a bit better but I still neeed to pay a bit better attention.

I am still having a bit of trouble paying attention to the teacher. I still find myself doodling or reading during class. I think a way to fix that is to not keep a book at my desk and always have my papers stowed when I should be working.

__March 7, 2011__ I have been doing ok at getting my dayplanner out at the begining of the day. Especially because I have my chair organizer thing which allows me to keep things within arms length of me and not clutter my desk. I do not usually even put on shoes, though. I know I should, and I will make that a goal again in term 3.

I am putting my hand up more than I have in the past two years, now. It feels good to have my thought heard by my peers.

I am still having a bit of trouble paying attention. I just finished reading a very good part in my book so I hope that I will be able to pay full attention in class again!

Great job at reflecting. You seem to be able to keep track of assignments without using your dayplanner, but using it is a good habit to get into because it will help you in the future when lives seem to get more complicated and parents are not always there to remind you of certain things.

You are volunteering more to class, and I am very happy to hear your comments because you have lots of great things to offer.

Some people are able to multi task better than others. You are able to do that, but sometimes you let it go too far and suddenly realize that you have missed something. Right now it is not hurting you because you are able to catch up pretty quickly but I am glad you trying to be more aware of it.
