Performance indicators

On Friday, report cards for the first 5 weeks went home. Along the way you have had some hints as to how you were doing: tests and quizzes handed back, homework that you did or didn't do, and your feelings about how well you were grasping concepts. Now that you have seen your grades, in which class do you feel you are doing the best? Why do you think you are doing well in that class? Is there anything you could improve?

I feel like I am doing well in history because I have understood what we have talked about. I also feel like I`m doing well in science, because I have gotten pretty good grades. I need to improve in math, by studying more.

I feel like the best class that iam doing in is social studies. Im not positive if that is my highest grade but i feel like im doing the best in that class. I think iam doing well in that class becaus I like how we study new york and our country, so far. If there was something I could inprove on it would be english class. I should study more often or get somebody to help me a little more.

I think I am doing the best in science. My grade in this class was a 98, and that was one of my higher grades. I think that i am doing best in this class because i feel more awake and enthusiastic about this class. I don't mean i am bouncing off the walls or anything, but I find it more interesting to learn about science than to solve a math equation at 8:30 in the morning. That's another answer. Math. I feel i could do better in this class because my grade is a 91. This is because i was not prepared for a test, and that took down my average. I think I can do better by finding out when tests and quizes are, and practice for them better.

I think that I am doing the best in life science. I haven't recently gotten any bad grades back,also I think tis is one of the easiest subjects for me to understand. I also think I could improve with my listening skills in class to get even better grades than I already am.Although I need to be more organized for quizes, because currently I loked like the Michigan defence when they were completley destroyed by Iowa.

I think that the class that I'm doing the best in is History. I thing I am doing well in history because I pay attention in class and I usually understand the concepts. I think I could study harder for tests and become more organized. I think that if I became more organized I could study better for tests or quizzes.

I feel the class I am doing the best in right now is probably latin.I have a 100.I think I am doing well in latin because I pay attention and I study the words for our quizzes a lot, even if I already know them. My lowest grade is a 96.I have this grade in history.For overall improvement I could pay more attention to my homework and when quizzes are.

I feel that I am doing the best in Science. This is because I always hand in my homework on time and get good grades on tests and quizzes. Something I could do to improve would be my study skills because I always study at the last minute. I also could be more organized with filing test papers at home.

I think I am doing well in history class. I am getting very good grades in that class and I have understood what we have been learning. Another reason why I think I am excelling in history is how I feel about the class. I may be really enjoying a class, but still not getting great grades in it. I may be getting great grades in a class, but I may not be enjoying it. I am proud of many of the grades I got in other classes, but that doesn't mean that I can’t improve in them. For example, take math class. I am very proud of the grade I am got and I work very hard in this class. However, there is still much room for improvement. I am in advanced math, so I really have to focus to make sure I get the lesson. I think I can work on this by trying to pay attention more. I can also ask questions to make sure I got the right idea. I basically have to make sure I pay attention in all class to ensure that I get good grades.

How I feel about my about my 5 week report cardis that I thougth I did very well. My best class this year so far is, History. Why I think that I am doing so well in that class is because, I think the notes that I take are easy to study. I think they are more neat than my other classes. I also do well on quizes, tests and the homework. There is one class that I could improve on and it is math. How I could improve that class is, asking Mrs.Miller questions if I don't get it. Sometimes I just say i'll ask her tomorrow and then I never do. I also can maybe just skim my notes the night before a test.

School seemed like it started just yesterday, but really it’s already been five weeks! For the most part I have been up to date on our class discussions and comprehend the material needed. I think the subject I have been doing the best in is math. In math once I get a concept it usually sticks, but sometimes I don’t pick up on things as quickly. The things we are learning in math go at a fast pace so I need to stay awake and focused. Even if I miss one or two concepts it never hurts to get extra help or ask a question. Sometimes I think I fail to pick up on little details or make a silly mistake, therefore I need to read over my work and follow directions. School so far is good and I try my BEST every single day.

One of the classes that i am doing well at is English. There are a few reasons but one is that i feel that i have done most of this before. For example on community service day I went to Mrs.Woodens 2nd grade class and they were working on subject and predicate, that was something we worked on just a couple weeks ago. I know that in the other grades we have worked on this too. I think that I can improve but I'm working hard and I am proud of myself and the grade that I have.

I feel I am doing best in history. I think this, because I have received very high marks in this class. Also, I enjoy History and find it interesting. One class that I need to improve in, is English. I can improve by being more prepared for tests and quizzes. Finally, I need to continue to improve my Grammar and Spelling.

I think I am doing relatively well in all of my classes, but there are always things I could improve on. One thing I am really proud of this year so far is my grade in math. Last year I didn't so well in that class, but this year is a whole different story. I have worked extremely hard to keep good grades up, and it appears it has been working. Hopefully at this rate I will be moved up to advanced math. Another grade I am proud of is my English grade. I know that English is a hard subject to fully understand with all its exceptions and what not, so when I read my grades I was very pleased. I hope my grades will stay like this for as long as possible, and will continue to work hard in all my classes. I think the main thing that brings me down in my talking. I think that if I talk less, and focus more I will have better grades in all of my classes... somehow this seems like it's going to be a bit of a challenge. :) Wish me luck!

The class that I feel most confident in is Life Science. The reason I am so confident about Life Science is that I understand what we are talking about and also I feel that Mrs. Parr helps us learn in a positive environment. Life Science is also right at the period that I am fully awake, but not yet tired of school, so this helps me concentrate and absorb information better. I think that I could improve in not being lazy. When I get home from school/soccer practice/ whatever I am doing I am really tired and don’t feel like doing anything. So when I do my homework I just get lazy and don’t look back to the instructions, this is why I got a bad grade on a homework assignment; I forgot a part of the heading. The subject I need to work on is math; I can do better by just remembering my binder, actually studying for tests and also making sure I understand the concepts.

I think the class I am doing the best in is history. I think I am doing well in that class because I understand the concepts and I think studying history is interesting. Something I could work on is the neatness of my history homework. The homework has to be completed in pen and I often make silly mistakes that I only catch when I read it over again. I also have room to improve in english and math. To get better in those classes I think I should study further in advance.

For the first five weeks of seventh grade my highest grade is in English with Mr. Abts. I think I’m doing the best in this class because I understand grammar well and pretty much already know what we’re learning. I guess that I could study a little more than I have been for the quizzes, but I know the helping verb song by heart.

I think the class I'm doing the best in is science because almost every thing we have learned so far I have completely understood and and i have had no trouble so far on home work. I think the reason I am doing so well is because I am sitting in the front row so I cant see if some one is trying to talk to me so my focus is on the bored 95% percent of the time. The class i need to work on is language arts, I feel I can do better in this class if I studied for the quiz's a little bit longer.

I feel like I am doing the best in history. I have never been good at history, ever. But this year I am really understanding the concepts better and doing well in the class. In my 5 week report card history was my highest grade. I really like that class. I could improve my grades in math. I haven't ever been good at math either, but that hasn't changed. It's kind of hard for me to study for math. I don't see how you study for math but I could always just review my notes and homework.

The class I think I am doing the most well in is math. I think the reason I am doing well in this class is that I am interested in what we are learning. This makes it so that when I don't quite understand something I keep on working on it until I fully understand it. If there was something I could improve it would be that I would check my math homework when I finish it. That way I could catch any careless mistakes I make so when we check over it in class I can see where I am actually having trouble instead of just making a careless mistake.

I think my grades were pretty decent. The class I did best in was probably science. With the test and quizes I got back I knew I was doing pretty well, along with the fact that I got most of the concepts. In order to do well in this class I studied hard, and made sure to do all the homework on time, for full credit. I hope to do the same for the rest of the year, and also try hard in all my other classes.

Mr. Abts, I looked on parent portal and saw that it said I have not done this comment. I am positive that I have. I can tell by the picture. Since it seems that it must not have gotten to you, I will write my comment again in hopes that I will get some credit.

I think that during the first five weeks, math was my best class. My best grade is in it, and it comes very easily to me. My worst class is probably either English or Health. I think this because in English it is harder for me to understand things. I also find grammar very confusing. Health is hard because there is a lot of information to grasp in a very short time. Also in health you have to be very independent. This is because of the teacher. Not that I don't like Mr. Weir, he just is very stern.
