Report card November 2014

Positive attitude - I've kept a positive attitude towards all activities that we've done in this class.
Creativity- I've tried my best to put forward opinions on how we could introduce creativity into some things 
Equality - I treat everyone equally . 
Respect - I've respected all individuals by listening intently when others are talking/presenting 
Teamwork- I've worked well in groups for example the grade 8 retreat 
Everyone's voice- once again I listen while others are speaking 
Commitment- I've committed to this class therefore I believe it's my responsibility to take part in all activities that are put forward as an opportunity to grow as a leader for my community
Personal and social responsiblity- I've shown responsibility by excusing myself from my other classes when I am to be away due to an  obligation for this class. I've been responsible to finish all assignment work and get  caught up with anything that has been taught that day 

I'm enjoying the opportunities we get for leadership and the volunteer opportunities in this class. It is also really enjoyable to organize events and then facilitate them as well such as the grade 8 retreat and the rememberance day assembly. I'm looking forward to doing more things like this  as it helps with my speaking skills . I got the opportunity to direct others through these two events and I find myself gaining more confidence as I am a very shy person. Leadership is exactly how I imagined it would be and there's nothing I would like to change about this class . Overall I believe I deserve a G for participating in all activities and events and as for a grade I  believe I deserve an A percentage. 93%



Tree planting and farming experience

Out of the two I definitely found farming to be more enjoyable . For tree planting there were a lot of laughs shared but the weather proved to quite miserable and for me personally had a negative impact on the  experience. When we went farming on the other hand, the weather was close to perfect. The tractor ride was so much fun and it felt so good to be outside . It felt great to know that all the food that I put my hard work into harvesting  and sorting would go straight to those in need of food. I'm not an outdoor person but I find that  this might change now because I really enjoyed farming which is surprising to me. I wasn't looking forward to it at first but now i'd jump at the chance to do it again.
