Expected Behavior - Highlight

 Today in wānanga we looked at our schools expected behavior. We were given a sheet that had a lit of expected behavior. We got a highlighter or a marker and we had to highlight what we did on the sheet. After we did that we have to make a blog. On the blog, we have to reflect on what we did well. The ones I most highlighted are commitment, achievement and respect. With respect, I always use good manners and always have my phone off. The reason I am reflecting on this for respect is that I do it all the time. With my phone, I always have it off and in my bag. The only time I use my phone is when I text my mother. With commitment, I always am ready for learning and always arrive with the right gear. Another thing I do a lot with commitment is being focused on your task and be in the right place at the right time. The reason I do this is a lot is that I try and be the best I can. With the achievement, I always do my personal best and meet deadlines. Another thing I do a lot for achievement is line up respectfully and follow expectations when entering spaces. With resilience, I aim to overcome difficulties and have a positive and can-do attitude. Another thing I do a lot for resilience is remaining focused and get to the right place.

Te Ao Whanui

Today in Te Ao Whanui we have to do a reflection blog. Te Ao Whanui is about reading. Each term there is a new module. Last term in Te Ao Whanui we did our heroes. This term we are doing changing the world. For the past week in Te Ao Whanui, my group that I am in is reading an article. The article that we are reading is called "New Zealand's Treasure Island". New Zealand's Treasure Island is made by Gordon Campbell. After we read that we have to finish three tasks to make a tic tac toe. The task I choose to do were a postcard, write a diary entry, create a movie poster and write a recount about a main part of the story. I asked my teacher to do 4 tasks because I wanted to do the first three and the last one was what we had to do. I know I am a great self-manager because when the teacher isn't here I always finish my work and I am always nice to the teacher. Even when the teacher is here I still finish my work and most of the time I know what my next steps are. If I am finished all my work I always know what to do after even if it's maths or other fast finish tasks for reading.

Weekly Reflection

 Today we have to do a weekly reflection about whats has happened this week and what we think about it . Here is my weekly reflection. 

This week I am proud that if finished all my work that I needed to do. I struggled this week when we done the writing assessment because I didn't know what to write about.This week I enjoyed doing athletics day because I didn't have to do much work and we got to get out the class room. I think this week has been a good week. Next week I want to finish all my work on time.

Reflect On Paper Boy

Today I had to watch a video. The video was about Paper Boy. In the video the author(Vince Vawter) read chapter 1. Here is the link to the video.
In the video Vinces voice there was a tiny stutter in every word he said. Vinces voice was quiet but loud enough to hear him. His voice was calm and smooth. His voice was different to most people because his voice was stuttering a tiny bit.
