Hi, I’m back and I’m going to tell you about my Innovation Day project. We started working on our project in early December and we just had the actual event 2 weeks ago. The unit we were learning at the time in Science was Electricity so that was our Innovation Day theme and we had to make a game involving Electricity. Me and my partners game was called “Maze Race”. It was exactly as it sounds like, a maze that you have to race through and if the stick touched the wall a buzz would go off and you would have to start from the beginning and the first person whose stick touched the ending point a light bulb would go off and you would win.

When I first heard about the project my first feelings were sort of like oh yeah I have tons of time I don’t need to freak out about it. After winter break I realized actually how close I was to Innovation Day. So me and my partner had to work hard to think of an idea for a game because we wanted it to be original. When me and my partner finally figured out an idea we were really excited about it. Then my partner was out sick for a week and we had to work on the project so I was alone. That week everything was failing for me and I didn’t know what to do. So the next week she came and we only had like 1 or 2 days until we had to be completely finished our project and we had no idea what to do so we decided to give up on that idea and changed our mind we brought the projects home that we ended up using. I knew that we still had to do a lot of things besides the actual project so I got really nervous that we weren’t going to finish. That weekend we finished it.

The thing that surprised me the most was the fact that we finished everything on time. I kind of half-expected the whole time that when it was finally Innovation Day our project would only be half finished. After we finished presenting to the judges I honestly didn’t think we were going to get 1st 2nd or 3rd in the sixth grade so I managed to not have my hopes up. The reason I thought this was because it didn’t really seem like the judges were that impressed with what we did. My biggest challenge probably for this project was changing the project entirely and we had no idea what we were doing we were pretty much just winging it like we had no clue what we were doing and we were hoping for the best.

 

In the end, we got 3rd place. I’m pretty proud of us for doing that since we barely had any time to work on it since we changed our idea at the last second. Still, I never thought we would even come close to getting 3rd so that was very exciting for us.

I hope you liked this blog post. Innovation Day was definitely not a terrible project.

 

I don’t have a picture of my actual project so i just put a picture of the presentation we had.

My academic goal was to try and understand math better.

I have been doing what I am supposed to do, like paying attention in class and asking questions to the teacher.  Also in tutoring we have been working A LOT in math and that really helps me, I have been focusing more in class and finishing all my homework the results is I got a 94% on the last graded test I’ve done.

 

 

My learning goal was to use my agenda affectivly

I go through my homework board during tutoring and write stuff down in my agenda also during a lot of classes. I have been doing my homework on time because of it. It has been really helping me.

 

Mitzvah 1 –  Respect your parents

“Honor your father and your mother, that you may long endure on the land that your God יהוה is assigning to you.”

כַּבֵּ֥ד אֶת־אָבִ֖יךָ וְאֶת־אִמֶּ֑ךָ לְמַ֙עַן֙ יַאֲרִכ֣וּן יָמֶ֔יךָ עַ֚ל הָאֲדָמָ֔ה אֲשֶׁר־יְהֹוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֶ֖יךָ נֹתֵ֥ן לָֽךְ

The meaning of this mitzvah is to always respect your parents. They helped bring you to this earth, they feed you, they get clothes for you and they send you to school to have a good education. The least you could do is respect them ya know?

This mitzvah is important because they are the reason you are who you are, they pretty much have done everything to make your life as good as they possibly can.So if you respect your parents they won’t regret doing all of this amazing stuff for you.

Respecting your parents can impact my life by not getting in trouble as much at home. I can show more respect to my mom by not arguing with her when she asks me to do something. In the future, I could think about ways that I can go above and beyond to help my mom and show her the appreciation she deserves. 

 

Mitzvah 2 – There is only one G-d

“Hear, O Israel! יהוה is our God, יהוה alone.”

שְׁמַ֖ע יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל יְהֹוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֵ֖ינוּ יְהֹוָ֥ה ׀ אֶחָֽד

The meaning of this mitzvah is knowing that there is only one G-d. In Judaism we are taught that there is only one HaShem. God has provided us with the world that we live in and has created everything for us. 

I think this mitzvah is important because God has made this world that we live in and also God helps us when we make decisions like whether we should lie or tell the truth. Just remember that God will always want you to be honest so trust Him.

Doing this mitzvah can impact my life because if I pray and learn Torah instead of playing video games or Social Media it can help me trust God more so if I am freaking out before a test because I did not study that much I know I can trust God to help me through this test.

 

Mitzvah 3 – To give charity according to one’s means

“For there will never cease to be needy ones in your land, which is why I command you: open your hand to the poor and needy kin in your land.”

כִּ֛י לֹא־יֶחְדַּ֥ל אֶבְי֖וֹן מִקֶּ֣רֶב הָאָ֑רֶץ עַל־כֵּ֞ן אָנֹכִ֤י מְצַוְּךָ֙ לֵאמֹ֔ר פָּ֠תֹ֠חַ תִּפְתַּ֨ח אֶת־יָדְךָ֜ לְאָחִ֧יךָ לַעֲנִיֶּ֛ךָ וּלְאֶבְיֹנְךָ֖ בְּאַרְצֶֽךָ

The meaning of giving charity is that it helps people and organizations and stuff when you  donate and stuff.

Giving charity is important because it helps people and organizations when you give money to them so for example CHEO we give them money as charity to help the hospital help kids.

This charity can impact lives of others because if you donate to them it can make their life better or if you donate to a organization that can help a lot of things that that organization is doing so for example if it was CHEO then the charity would be helping kids

Hi!

So after our winter break this year we were told to do this sort of musical thing and we had to explain some main part of our break and I chose to do my time in Florida we were suposed to make a song to go along with it and here is mine

 

 

Snow and cold but not for long.

Florida bound we’re coming strong.

I’m excited to go into the sea.

I go down to the beach with glee.

When I got to the beach.

All I wanted to do was screech!

All I could see.

Made me want to fall down on my knees.

Fish Fish were everywhere!

That is my summary and prediction of the Sisterhood Of The Travelling Pants

Hi! So A few weeks ago in french we were learning about passe compose which means Past tense and I decided to do my favourite memory about my past summer and sleepaway camp!  I made a canva and I will post it right now also there is the english translation under the french I hope you enjoy!

 

My Learning Goal

This year my learning skill that I would like to improve on is using my agenda effectively. The way I will know when I have successfully completed my goals is when my agenda actually works for me. I know this goal is realistic for me and the support I could use would be Ms. Beswick and teachers and my mom. I know this goal is worthwhile because if I used my agenda more then I would be on time for tests and quizzes. I would like to complete this goal by April 11, 2025.

Steps to being able to do this is making sure I update my agenda  at least twice a week I will do this during homeroom between 8:30-8:45 I will cross of items when  I finished them and at the end of the day on Tuesday and Thursday I will check my agenda with Ms. Beswick.

 

My Academic Goal

This year my academic goal is that I should try harder to understand math more and pay more attention in math class. The way I will know when I successfully completed this goal is when I understand math. This goal is realistic for me and the people that can help me with this are My mom, Mrs. Cleveland and Ms. Beswick. The reason this goal is worthwhile is because I want to become an interior designer and I need a lot of math for that. I want to achieve this goal by June 23, 2025.

Steps to reach this goal are to continue doing half an hour of math during tutoring with Ms. Beswick, To focus more during math and to respond to Mrs. Cleveland’s positive and helpful feedback.

Hi so we were reading this story and it was about this kid who visits their grandparents house and in the kids sabas office and in the first drawer was kids colours and the second drawer had stuff like his old toys and pictures and then the kid was finally able to open the drawer and we were suposed to say what I think was in the third drawer I think there was a uniform and the star that they had to put on their clothes

This year I achived learning vocabulary words things that were helpful to learn these words were projects and stuff like that things that I think could help me next year is listening more in class

This year I don’t really think blogging helped me that much

Next year for the grade 5 students be prepared to study A LOT becuase we get a lot of tests

My smart goals were to be better at French and Hebrew, to be able to do algebra, getting better at writing and punctuation in English class & paying better attention. The way I achieved those Goals Were  – I tried really hard and I was able to get better grades but I’m definitely not great at most of them like algebra that’s something that is still really really hard for me I’m getting better in hebrew french is still pretty hard for me Also I have payed attention a little bit more and my writing is pretty good  The thing I’m proud of for my goal is Working hard on my goals and just because I did not complete some of them the point is I tried really hard and I got better at a lot of my goals I just did not complete them.
