First Semester Reflection

As a student I grew my reading ability to a higher stander and I also grew my ability to grow my vocabulary. Like the game we played when we had to stand on our chairs and spell the word when it came around. I also thought the charades game was a great learning activity and a great visualization for each vocabulary word. By the way I wasn’t very good at that game but I thought it was a fun and smart way to learn vocabulary words. I think we should play those games more when we do have vocabulary because it’s a lot of practice and you get use to using the word and definition.

What I learned about myself in the first semester was that I keep getting farther in reading and I am a pretty good writer with a few mistakes. I think one day I’ll be able to achieve on getting no mistakes when I write. I also noticed I’m kind of slow on reading mostly with big books. When I was reading Twilight I was so hooked on to the book I could not stop reading it, but I thought I had the ability to read two books at a time. I guess it just comes to show that reading to books is nearly impossible unless you planned out times to read each book.

What I think I need to do to make myself successful in the next semester is read one book at a time and read more pages. I think reading one book at a time will help me because when you are reading to books at a time you forget about what each book is about and what’s going on. I think I should read more pages so that I could reach the class room goal of 2500 pages of reading.

Overall, my goals for next semester is to read more pages for the reading log and class room goal, stay with one book at a time, and talk with a bigger vocabulary. These are my goals for the second semester of school. I wish to succeed.
