7th Grade
The end of the year is approaching quickly and I believe that I have grown in some key areas over the 7th grade year. I feel that though I have used many qualities over the year, I have especially grown in persistence. Persistence is a quality that shows that when we fall, we have to get up, learn from it, and keep going. I felt like growing in persistence was important because when I am persistent, I am motivated to overcome the upcoming challenges. I never wanted to give up but I was often not very productive in finding new methods to solve my problems. I was persistent when improving the skill of persistence. I used persistence in STEM Foundations, when I had to make multiple drafts of artwork for the storybook project. I used persistence in science when I was learning complicated concepts. If I didn’t understand it the first time, I persevered and tried to picture these ideas in different ways to finally understand it.
Science In science, I felt like I got a better understanding of how new substances are created at the molecular level. I got a better understanding by using inquiry. By questioning new ideas in science, I was able to get a better understanding of molecular processes. Modeling atoms and conducting labs really helped me discover this idea.

Wellness & Fitness Nothing can be achieved without good health. This is something that I strive to improve. A step to having a good health is exercising but I noticed that in the start of the year I got very tired when doing the class activities. This told me that I had to put in more effort and get better with my endurance, using persistence. This is a goal that I have set and a goal that I have achieved.

STEM Foundations We did a storybook project where we wrote and illustrated a book resolving a conflict between school supplies. Art was one of the main components of this project and also a skill that I struggled with. I used creativity to get over this struggle. I used techniques and skills that I learned during class to create stunning art. Stunning art by my standards.
