What did you think of your finished product? I thought I did well and I could see that I used a lot of time and effort to do it.

How did this challenge you? it was challenging to copy and paste the pictures to google docs and to print them and cut them out because I tried printing the pictures and it wouldn’t work and it wouldn’t let me copy and paste the pictures to google docs. 

What was easy about this for you? It was easy to write neatly, and to draw the inches on the timeline 

What are you most proud of from this process? I am proud of working hard and I am proud of finishing it on time.

How did your mindset change throughout the day? At first I had a fixed mindset because i said I couldn’t do it but then my Friends cheered me on and I did it my friends cheering me on helped me go on the zip lines because if they weren’t I would feel super scared and I don’t think I would be able to do it.
How did you feel as others cheered you on? I felt good and proud that I actually did it because I am very scared of heights.
Was it what you expected? Yes- why? No- what was different? It was not what I expected I thought that there was only going to be one zip line and I thought it was going to be shorter.
Would you do it again? Why? Yes, because I thought it was fun challenging myself and facing my fears.

I chose this project because it made the most sense to me.

My topic ( woman and the high holidays )

what do I know about my topic? on Rosh Hashana we eat apples and honey, we eat a lot of sweat foods to evoke a sweet new year, on Rosh Hashana we blow the shofar.

What are ten other questions I have that I need to research for a further study? How are woman connected to Rosh Hashana? Who are the woman that are mentioned in prayers/services? And which prayers? And why are they mentioned? What is the story for each of those woman? How is each story connected to high holidays? What are there names? Why are each of those woman significant to this day? What do we know about these woman? Why do we celebrate Rosh Hashana?

where will I begin to look for those answers? By researching on google

what help do I need to move forward in my project? Finding sources

• What was difficult about the challenges? It was difficult to pick up Fred off the boat because we couldn’t use our hands to pick him up, we had to use paper clips. It was also difficult putting Fred in the life preserver without him drowning.

• What is something you want to work on moving forward? Being more confident because I kept saying that it was impossible and that we couldn’t do it. But in the end we got ton save Fred

How do you feel about your student-led conferences?
I felt good because I was comfortable talking with my parents in front of my teacher.

Have you thought about things you might be doing differently based upon student-led conference?
I might speak a little louder because I was a little quiet. In math I need to continue checking my work. In reading I want to work on writing longer reader’s responses.

Is there anything that you feel like you didn’t get to say at your student-led conference?
I forgot to ask them if they had any questions but thats it?

How does it feel to be in charge of a conference? Do you like it? why or why not?
It feels good to be in charge and I kind of like it because I get to talk about what things I have done well in and what things I have to work in school and I think its fun that the student gets to come with there parent.

I think I did follow my study plan because I got a good grade. My study plan was to read the problems carefully.
Sometimes I get nervous when I do tests, so the next study plan I want to do is I want to work on being calm so I get a good grade.
