Learning Skills

For My Academic Goal, I will attempt to be more organized this year. I will have successfully achieved this goal when my grades go up not because of studying, but knowing where everything is and having a fresh mind. Even with some backup support at home, I will be able to achieve this. I think organizational skills for me are important because I will need those abilities in high school and later in my life. I hope my grades improve by 15-20%. I want my first check to be by the end of the semester.

Academic Goals

For my academic goal, I want to get better at math. Specifically geometry, measurements, and number sense. Just like my other goal,  I want my math grade to go up by 15-20%. I believe I can achieve this goal but it may be difficult along the way. This goal will help me in high school and again, later in life. To help me achieve this, I think the teachers at school can help such as Mr Ray,  Mrs Cleveland, and Ms M. I will check in every unit test and when January report cards come out, but I want to achieve this goal by the end of the year. I want to work on creating detailed study sheets for unit math tests. The teacher I mentioned before will help me with these study sheets. The end goal is to make my own study sheets.

Micah’s Memory Book by micah.prehogan

Hi, my name is micah and today i will be reflecting on my Innovation day Project this this year.

This year on Innovation Day I think I took a big step ahead than last year working very hard. Our Innovation day topic was on sled dogs, Dogs that carry suplies such as mail and medicine. Even with all that work they do the whole day the only eat twice a day. We were here to change that in our innovation day topic this year . Before I started working on the VR portion in CoSpaces, I didn’t know what to expect. I didn’t even know what to do. As time went on I worked hard and I started to understand what to do and our VR turned out great. 

I think I did a very good job on creating the board. My friend Matthew was away for 2 weeks so i had to take on a big role for creating that board as well as printing papers and glueing them on. What I would like to do better in the future is to get even better information as my friend had that job. I would just like to contribute a little more on that area of Innovation day.  Two people is always better that one person. 

To give information about our Sled dog house, we added 2 floors. One for eating and one for resting.

Here is a quick look at our house in VR:

Here is a picture of sled dogs:

What i really realized about myself this year is that hard work does pay off Even with the fact.our group didnt get in the top 3 this year.  I think our project was amazing and I took a big step ahead this year. Im hoping i can do even better next year.

Outsider’s Presentation Oklahoma

1. S’améliorer au hockey
2. Faire mieux au a l’ecole
3. commencer à lire des livres
4. passer du temps avec ma famille
5. Je vais m’engager a plus de sport
6. faire plus d’amis

There is no shortcut to success. Everyone has to get to work to realize their dream. I want to be a hockey player, but I can’t just be talented, I go out for hours and I shoot pucks and I just try to improve every day. I love this quote because it helps young children really understand how to become good at their passion. So I have to work very hard or my dream won’t come true. Work harder than everyone else and don’t give up.

l n’y a pas de raccourci vers le succès.  Chaque personne doit se  mettre au travail pour réaliser son rêve.  Je veux être un joueur de hockey, mais je ne peux pas simplement avoir du talent , je sors pendant des heures et je tire des rondelles et j’essaie simplement de m’améliorer chaque jour . J’adore cette citation parce qu’elle aide les jeunes enfants à vraiment comprendre comment devenir bons dans leur passion. Je dois donc travailler très fort, sinon mon rêve ne se réalisera pas. Travailler plus fort que tout le monde et ne pas abandonner.

Hello my name is Micah and I am doing a reflection on my innovation day project with my friend Matthew. This project was about electricity circuits. Our project was called drop down bowling. You would basically roll a clay ball and try to get it in the hole to complete the circuit from all the wires connecting into a tissue box with the battery holder.

Before we started presenting, I felt a bit nervous because I really wanted to do well, but I felt confident that our project was a good one. We ended up achieving 82%. I was happy with that mark, however, there were some things I could have done better. What I learned about myself was that  I need to put in the effort in order to get a good result. 82% shows that the effort was definitely there. Usually I don’t put in the effort and get mad that I didn’t do well, but that’s on me. What I could’ve done better would have been to spend more time on the details rather than the actual writing. For example, one of the comments about our presentation was that the writing was too small. I felt good about the way we presented together and actually worked to complete our project. One of the challenges was that we live far away from each other and we mostly worked on the project during school. 

To my surprise I actually really enjoyed working on this project. I enjoyed working with Matthew because I feel we work well together. I was happy with my ability to present because  In past years, when I did have to present I was nervous and shy. Over the years, I have developed more confidence doing public speaking and presentations like this. Overall I had fun and looking forward to coming up with a better idea next year.
