7 Reflections on My Overall Learning Habits and Attitude (Not Just About Reading in LA Anymore All Your Classes!) Respectful Listening and Speaking I listen respectfully. I follow directions the first time they are given. I contribute important ideas that help the discussion. I ask meaningful questions about the topic or assignment. I listen to the opinions of others. Work Ethic During independent work time, I am a focused learner and stay on task without reminders. With my table group or a partner, I am a focused learner. During whole class activities and meetings, I stay focused and manage my body well. I make good use of my work time. I do my best work all the time. Organization I come to school on time, prepared to work and learn. I put my papers and supplies in the right place so I can find them the next time I need them. I complete my assignments on time. I get my supplies and start my work straight away. I make sure I understand the directions or ask the necessary questions to follow them. Attitude I have a positive attitude and enthusiasm for learning. I am fair and cooperative during group activities. I work to solve problems independently. I notice when a problem is too big to solve and ask an adult for help. I care about respecting the rights, ideas, and feelings of others. I accept responsibility for my actions. (+) ALL of the time (OK) MOST of the time (-) NEED to improve

8 Look at the [+] [OK] [-] on the other side to determine My strengths: A. B. C. I need to work on: A. B. C. If you were to travel back in time to the first days of school what advice would you give yourself about succeeding this year? Goal Setting: Pick three goals for the rest of the year: one academic, one social, and one behavioral. Write them in the space below. Academic: Social: Behavior: People who can help me attain these goals are: Distractions that might get in my way of accomplishing these goals are: Student Signature Parent Signature Teacher Signature P.S. If you finish before other people and have time, draw me a picture of you reading in your favorite dream location real or imaginary!
