My last blog of this school year

Hey everyone,

For my final blog post, I want to reflect on the school year and my experiences. Although I’m not the best in Hebrew, I did enjoy learning כְּרִיה in Hebrew and watching and reading Wonder in English. Thanks to the Wordwalls in כְּרִיה, I improved in Hebrew and enjoyed the 15-20 minutes I had to practice Hebrew words.

S.M.A.R.T. Goals reflection Jeremy

Hello everyone, Mr. Watters told us to reflect on our S.M.A.R.T. goals today.  I said that I wanted to stop getting distracted in class and get better at basketball.  which I did.  For those of you who don’t know S.M.A.R.T. stands for Specific Measurable Achievable Relevant Time-bound.  What this means is that you need to make an achievable goal for example an achievable goal would be something like reading 20 books in 2024.  A non-achievable goal would be something like reading 999,999,999 books in 3 seconds.  I chose my goal because I wanted to get much better at basketball so I could make it to the tournament next year.  I also wanted to stop getting distracted in class because I would always be looking inside my desk then not know what to do.  I still need to work on that goal.  Well, that’s it for today bye.

Public Speaking

Yesterday we did public speaking,  I was very nervous to do public speaking.  I ended up being one of the last ones going (which didn’t help.)  when I was done everyone told me I went way too fast.  My overall thoughts on public speaking aren’t that great I didn’t really like being in the spotlight and it made me nervous.  (that’s one of the reasons I went so fast.)  a lot of people had very good speeches like Eli, and Oren. those two really stood out to me because Eli gave a lot of information and Oren had many jokes and had a great overall speech.  There where also many people who went toon fast, weren’t loud enough,  didn’t have enough information and manu other things.  I’m not just going to say negative things about public speaking.  There are many benefits to public speaking like:  It makes you more confident, It helps you get used to crowds(which is very helpfull) My topic was on sports.  there where many other interesting topics like: COVID 19, Zero, The titanic, polution, and many more.  Overall I think public speaking was a 5/10.  I didn’t like it that much but that’s it. Here is a pictures of me presenting.

הצגרה השלישית של סבה

Today in class we started to learn about the holocaust and we read this story.It’s about a boy who loves to go to his grandparents house and his grandpa has three drawers.  One of them are all the colours to draw for the boy.  The second one has all the grandpa’s childhood toys from when before the germans took him.  The last one is always locked.  The boy always wonders what’s inside of it but he doesn’t know.  His grandpa always keeps it locked.  but one day when his grandpa goes to do something the boy looks down at the drawer to see it’s unlocked.  We stopped right there.  Our assignment is to guess what’s inside.  We already read this book last year so I already know but if I didn’t I would say something holocaust related because in the book they say that the germans took him at a young age.

We are going to learn geometry.

today in class mr. watters announced that we are going to learn geometry.  He told us that for this blog we have to wright about what we think geometry is.  I know that geometry is like defining the area of a 3d shape or the perimiter.  We learnt area and perimiter last year so I hope it’s related to that. I was pretty alright at are and perimiter so I hope I wil be good at geometry.

Projet Vidéo Écran Vert

Après plusieurs semaines de travail sur notre maquette qui montrait plusieurs aspects de la vie quotidienne d’un groupe autochtone les haïdas, et après avoir fait l’enregistrement de nos lignes que chaque groupe devait apprendre par coeur, notre vidéo était prêt à visionner. 

Voici mes commentaires de ce que j’ai aimé. 

J’aime comment je parle dans la video est aussi j’aime l’océan dans notre video. Aussi, j’aimerais faire quelques suggestions pour améliorer ce projet si j’avais à le refaire. De parler un peu plus fort, et parler moin vite.

Ci-dessous, vous trouverez le lien de notre projet de groupe sur les haïdas.

Figurative language

We are using and learning figurative language in ELA.  Our task for the break was to come up with a figurative statement about our break.  mine was “The break was like a river sometimes it went by fast and sometimes it went by slowly.”

ארבעה בנים

In class today we learnt about the four sons from the haggadah that you read on the seder night.  The four sons are the wicked one, the simple one, the wise one, and the one who does not know how to ask a question. The four sons also have lines these are the lines of each son The wicked one one asks: “what does this ritual mean to you?”  The simple one asks:”What is all this?” The wise one asks: “What is the meaning of the laws and traditions God has commanded?” as for the one who does not know how to ask, you should open the discussion for him as it is written: “and you shall explain to to your child on that day, ‘It is because of what the lord did for me when I came out of egypt.” Morah marina told us to relate to which son you think is the most like you. I think I’m the simple one becuase I’m still learning and young.  I’m pretty simple I won’t go into huge detail or do rocket science so that’s why I think i’m the simple one.  There are many other reasons why I think i’m the simple one.  Like for example when people are talking about really confusing stuff like rocket science or politics they always have to simplify for me.  There’s also the wise one and I think I’m a bit like him because I’m pretty smart.  I’m not like the evil one because I’m not that evil.  I also know how to ask a question so I’m not like the boy who does not know how to ask a question. This is a picture that I drew of each child תם means simple רשה means wicked חכם means wise and שאיני יודה לשאול means the one who does not know how to ask.

Parasha Ki tisa

In parasha Ki tisa moshe’s people where doubting his return to they asked aharon (Moshe’s brother) if he could build them a golden calf so they could feel safe.  He thought this was a terrible idea but he had a plan: his plan  was to ask them all for there earrings so that could waste time and while they where handing over there kgold earrings moshe would return. So when he told the people this they suprisingle agreed.  While they where handing over there gold earrings moshe did not return so aharon fulfilled his promise and melted down the gold and created a golden calf.  God saw this and was furious.  He told moshe that he was going to destroy all of the people but moshe told him to wait; He said that he was going to go down there and see what was happening with his own eyes.  When he got to the bottom of har sinai he saw all the people praying and making peace offerings to the golden calf.  This sight enraged him and out of pure anger he shattered the two tablets into pieces.

This relates to my last post talking about my character traits. In that post I talked about how my character traits link to moshe’s.  I was talking about how I’m calm and not at the same time and how before moshe saw the people dancing around praying and making offerings to the golden calf he was enraged and broke them into piece but before that he was calm so that’s the end. Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
