1st Semester Mark

It's been a while since I've posted and this semester is coming to an end. So here is what I think my grade should be based on Participation, Social responsibility and contribution to the class, healthy living, and my digital portfolio and reflective skills.

Participation:
I think overall I do well in participating. When it comes to participating for class and showing up, I have never missed one class, which to me is very satisfying! When it comes to actual activities during class I have always tried to participate whether it was capture the flag, or even basketball. I always try to give my best effort, even though some days seem a little slow and boring. I try my best to participate because it wouldn't really be fun to skip, or just sit around and do nothing the whole period.

Social responsibility and Contribution:
In gym class, sometimes I see some students kind of shy away, or not want to join in some activities. So when I do see that I always offer for them to play with me and my friends, whether they're on my team or just a little friendly competition. I can be a little shy too, so I know how they feel. I think that Gym Class is really a time where you need to Communicate, and have fun, and when I see some kids who don't look like they're having fun, or sitting out I talk to them and try to convince them to play. Also during choice, when we split up into activities, and sometimes everyone will just stand around and wait, I'll sort of round up people into groups/ teams. Like that one time the girls had their own basketball game, and Kiran and I organized the teams since the girls didn't know what to do. As for social responsibility and all of that, like cheating yourself, I don't do that, I'm the type of person who would be fairly guilty if I did. You can't really cheat in choice, and as for fitness, I don't like cheating myself and cutting corners, or changing my score because well, it's good to know that you have fulfilled what you did without having to change anything. If you cheat it only effects you.

Healthy Living:
This year I'm trying to put myself in the mindset of being healthier, and bettering my life in a healthier way, for example eating better, and working out more, even if it's just Stretching every single day. I think I'm doing well and succeeding at this because every time we do fitness, even though I complain sometimes I do better each time. When doing fitness I tell myself that I can do it, and that If I did that much last time, then I can do at least a bit more! At the beginning of the year, I was lazier, and probably less healthy than I am now, I'm definitely more motivated to do things, and would like to keep up what I'm doing. I'd like to live a healthier lifestyle, and improve what I started, and I think that being apart of gym and all the Tuesday and Friday Fitness's that I have participated in have actually helped me.

Digital Portfolio and Reflective Skills:
I have tried to do my best to record everything and all the fitness activities that we do! Based on all of the pictures and videos that I have taken, i think i have done ok, but still can improve, because it gets hard to always have your phone with you when you're trying to participate in stuff. But in terms of blogs, and writing and reflecting I think it's going well! I enjoy blogging, and reflecting on what I've done and seeing all the progress I have made, it also helps when I comment on my peers blogs, and take their comments on my blogs into consideration. Hope to make more progress as the year progresses.

My overall grade that I would give myself based on all of this and class would be an A.
