30 day challenge
My 30 day challenge was to keep my room clean, so far my 30 day challenge is going good because my room is quite a bit cleaner than it was at the start of the challenge. Since my room is clean this saves me time for other stuff, like doing homework, and going out with friends; because my parents rule was that i couldnt go out unless my room was clean. So now since it is always clean i get to spend more time with my friends and doing things i enjoy.
30 Day Challenge
My goal that I chose for the "30 Day Challenge" was to drink a bottle of water every day in school hours. The point of my goal was to drink enough water everyday, constantly. I also specifically stated that by doing this challenge, it wouldn't mean that I'd be drinking less water at home or school. This goal is a helpful reminder for me to also drink water at school, not just when I get home. As for my progress on the challenge, I am currently doing very well with my goal. I was able to drink a bottle of water everyday during school time, and I believe I can accomplish my goal.
30 day challenge progress report
So far i have successfully (or i believe) ran more often. My goal was to run 30% more than before i started the 30 day challenge. I accomplished this by feeling in a rush mire often than i usually would, doing that also helped me do my homework and other stuff much faster than normal and opened up more free time for me.
I feel good about my 30 day challenge, it has decreased the time i need to do my daily routines, and it was easier than i thought it would be.

What we did
Today Ms. Lees humanity 8 class, we were in the library again to work on the Medieval role project. Today, Madame Monk told us the secret way to do the bibliographies by using Fraser Height Library. First we look find a book, and click add to list, then, click resource lists, it will do the bibliography for you. After she was almost finished telling us about this special way of doing bibliography, Madame Mac came to do the library because Ms. Lees wasn't here today. Therefore, after Madame Monk was finished, Madame Mac told us to keep on researching for the Medieval role project. A lot of people tried to do the research using the library book because today was our last day in the library working on the project.
Why we did it
We went to the library because there was more sources including books and computers. Madame Monk taught the class how to do the bibliography using the Fraser Height library website because she taught it would be easy for us to get bibliography using a computerized program. As a joke, Madame Monk told us not to tell Ms. Lees that she told us this way of doing bibliography because it made it too easy! After, I think the reason we did the research in class was that we don't get lots of homework, and we at least need one book source, and library was a good place because there were many books.
Connection/Reflections
I really liked going to the library because when I am in a different place, I always feel good, and can work well. Also, there was many sources like books and also computers. I was very happy when Madame Monk taught us how to do the bibliography using Fraser Height library website because it made it very easy to do. Without her teaching us, we would've done it the hard way. Today, most of us worked pretty well except that some people were too loud, and some were using there phones in the class. I think we can make the class much better when everyone cooperates and listen to the teacher.
Homework/Tips
For homework, if you didn't finish up to chapter 9 of 'There will be wolves', make sure to finish. Also, we are going to have a quiz from Chapter 1-5 so read the book again to remember the story again. Also, keep up with your 30 day challenge and seek help to Ms. Lees if you have trouble sticking up with the challenge. This week, FLEX is on Thursday, so if you're behind in anything, come the FLEX.

What we did
Today in Ms. Lees humanity 8 class, we were in the library to work on the new projects we got. First, we all picked a medieval character from the Ritz cracker container. Then, after we finished choosing our medieval characters, we got into groups with the people that had the same kind of group like peasant, noble, and merchant. We were going to do some research after we wrote what you were doing for the project, and 4 topics that we wanted to write about the character. After that, we learned how to do bibliography. There were 3 types of bibliography that we learned and they were bibliography for internet sites, encyclopedia, and actually. Ms. Lees told us that we will at least need 1 physical book source for our project.
Why we did it
We went to the library because there was many sources compared to our classroom. For example, there was computers and many books. When we were choosing the medieval character, we drew out from the Ritz cracker container to make it fair as possible and to make no complains from the students. After we started researching about our character and probably the reason was that we went to the library was for us to get some work done so we didn't have a lot of homework. We learned how to do bibliographies because without knowing what to do, we will get it wrong.
Connections/Reflections
I think going to the library was a good idea because we got to use the computers, and do some research. I also was glad that we used the draw-out system when we chose our medieval roles because it was the most fair idea. I think in real life, at work, and other places, they use this system that so that someone that gets the hardest job doesn't complain. I think learning the bibliography was a good idea because in real life, when you books, etc, you must put the bibliography or else, somebody could sue you for having that persons information without listing that you got it from that person.
Homework/Tips
For Wednesday, finish up to chapter 9 of the 'There will be wolves' chapter questions. Also, Ms. Lees told us that we are going to have a little quiz on 'There will be wolves' so read the book again to refresh, and remember again. Also, we are in the library tomorrow, so come prepared with things we need for the Medieval role project. Also, study for tests for other subjects other than Humanities so you can achieve a good mark.

What we did:
Today in humanities we were in the library, once Ms.Lees' arrived we were all picked a medieval job from a container. After everyone had their topic we were all put into groups, eg. nobles, religious and pesanets. Once everyone was in their groups we went over how to make a bibliography and we took notes on what we needed to have in our bibliography. When we were finished writing the notes we went on the computers to do research on our job, we had to had at least 4 topics we wanted to learn about for each job. We will have all of tomorrows block to work on our research and whatever we do not finish will be for homework.
Why we did it :
We learned how to do a bibliography because if you do copy information or data from a source without mentioning it, it is called plagiarism even if it is accidental. We did research for our projects in class so that we wouldn't have much homework and that we could ask for assistance if we needed it. We also used the librarys resources (books, computers) for our project because the books in the library had information. Some of the information in the books would have been difficult to find on the internet, and the books could also help us find lots of information in one place and save us more time.
Connections/Reflections:
I enjoy going to the library to do research because you have so many ways to find information/data easily. I am glad that we learned the criteria of a bibliography because before today, i couldn't write a proper bibliography, i usually forgot to add information. I think learning how to write a bibliography will help me a lot in the future whenever i have to write a report or do a project that requires me to look up and record information.
Homework:
We have to finsh "there will be wolves" chapter 8 questions by wednesday, and tomorrow will be the last day to do research for our projects in class; so whatever is not finished will be for homework.

Feb 15 Learning Blog
What we did Today:
Today we were supposed to take notes on pages in our pathways textbook on woman's rights, and medieval manors. We can choose which style of note taking we take them with (outline, web, or cornell) We also had to use the textbook to compare woman's roles in the middle ages and woman's roles today. We had to finish these in class because we couldn't take the textbooks home since the students coming tomorrow need to use them too. Anyone finished both of these were supposed to work on chapter 8 questions of There Will Be Wolves.
Why we did It:
We worked on pathways notes because we couldn't do it for homework, (due to the need of textbooks tomorrow)so finishing them was first priority. We compared women's roles from then and now to help understand development from then to now, and we worked on Chapter 8 on There Will Be Wolves because the people that were finished needed something productive to do.
Connections/Reflections:
I felt slightly glad about taking notes about the content in the Pathways textbook because we had already taken notes about the content in the textbook before, so it was familiar to me. I believe that comparing women's roles would help the class when we would have to compare more things later on in life (because practice always helps).
Homework:
Chapter 8 questions about There Will Be Wolves, due Friday if you didn't finish them in class today (which you probably didn't)
