Our very first post of 2017! I almost can’t believe it, the year is flying by. I hope that your break was restful and pleasant and that you had a great chance to spend time with your families. As I look ahead to the coming year, I’m invigorated and excited about the prospects. A new year is a great time to set some goals, to push yourself further, and to complete some of the things you’ve always wanted to do. As I look at the quote, “Tomorrow is the first day of a 365 page book, make it a good one”, I think about how I want to be successful and what I want to do to make this year amazing. Our 2017 book may only be 352 pages long (as it’s the 13th of January) but what are you going to write in your book this year? For your blog post this week, write a paragraph that tells us what your 2017 book will contain, what are you going to try, focus on, and accomplish? What are you going to do to make 2017 your best year?

This year I want to accomplish two big things. First thing is I want to get my learning skills award every term from now on. I want this because I think it is very important to do well at school. My second accomplishment is to build my YouTube channel. I want this because it is a very fun way to make money. These are two big things I want to accomplish in 2017.

I have many things I want to accomplish in 2017. One thing I will put above all else, is arriving to class on time. I'm often 5 minutes late, especially when I'm working in the library. I'll make more of an effort to do this this year.

This year I have a pretty big book, I have quite a few goals and to start them off I want to rip out the LEAST amount of pages possible. Secondly, I would love to focus on science and literacy this year as I usually am more focused on math, I really think that I can do extremely well in these subjects. Next up is music oriented, as in 2019 (still a long time away) I am most likely going to Belgium for a competition, I need to practice a lot, my goal in this section is to get a score of 86 or higher (beating my previous record). I would like to learn a little bit of a foreign language (no matter how little), it's a great opportunity to broaden your horizons and open new doors. Lastly I'd like to win a number of hockey games in the double digits, it might sound easy but we have only won 1, last time we lost 0-6. As I can't exactly think of a conclusion I will just say conclusion.

This year my book will be full, one of my goals this year is to be able to talk to someone in a language that is not French or English. I think that would be cool if I could speak in a different language. Another goal I have for this year is to read more books and maybe get into a new book series. These are main goals that are going to be in my book of 2017!

This year i want to try and accomplish alot of things, i work very hard to balence school and gymnastics and most of the time its tough, i want to try and balence it better, as most of you know i am an elite gymnast training 23 hours a week and most of you probobly don't know what it looks like ! But i went to China and Belguim last year and i actually did pretty good and everyone else was like 4 years older than us ( me and my partner) and this year i am with someone older and bigger so it will increase my chances of winning.

This year I have high hopes for myself and grade 6. This year I wan tto work toward less electronics and get more involved in school projects and class work, instead of doing my work really fast and handing it in. I want to check it over to see if everything makes sense. This year I also need to work harder in Taekwondo, like sparring and jumping high kick, I really want to beat my record of seven feet. I also want to complete my 2000 piece puzzle of every star wars character. One last things for 2017, I want to get outside more and be more active instead of sitting down and writing this piece of work.

As the year passes and we are introduced to a new year 2017 it has me thinking what will I put in the book of 2017. Well one of the first things is to work on the robot more. this is because I'm kind of new to this team and I need to learn how to work the row if I work on it more well you get the idea. the next thing I want to accomplish is To work on collaboration. in the past year I have been terrible at this so hopefully in the new year I will gain skill. last but not least I will put in my book of 2017 is that when I use the drill in my woodworking class I don't get sawdust everywhere and all over my clothes. It would help a lot if I don't have wood chips all over my pants. Thank you for listening to me read although you are forced to do so where I'm forced to read whichever way you want to put it thanks!

Last year was amazing, but, I know this year is going to be even better. I accomplish lots of things last year, but this year I want it to be even better then last year. There were things I needed to work on last year, and I'm going to work on those goals though out this year, and hopefully I will achieve those goals. I have some goals that I want to accomplish at home and some at school. One big this I want to accomplish is raising my hand more in class, and being helpful to everyone around me. I want this becasue it is important to share your ideas and your thinking in class. Another goal I have, is helping around my house a little bit more, even if it is a little thing. My last thing in my 2017 book is I want to go outside more,and be more active. I'm going to work really hard to accomplish these goals, and try my hardest in school and be friendly to everyone around me.

This year I will strive to become a better student by being more helpful around the class, trying to be Picked to answer more, getting to school ON TIME(LOL) and giving out more of my ideas in group work. I will work on my writing this year and I will help my freinds if there stuck on a problem. This year I will make sure I get a's on my report card.

2017 has been a great year so far. What I want to accomplish is to train harder on my soccer skills so maybe I could make the school soccer team and try to get into the rep team. Also I want to try to read more books and become a more fluent reader because I want to start reading bigger books.

This year has been such a successful year. With the amount of exertion put in together, I think we created a acceptable classroom. I have achieved lots of goals this year, and I am looking towards to achieve more goals. So, one of my "main" goals is to be more active outside. This was my previous goal as I mentioned, but usually I do not spend my time wisely on being active. Number 2 is to get some A's hopefully. I used to get a lot of A's, which proves me that I have a deep understanding knowledge. And lastly, is to improve my progress. Better progress means a lot to me. I will try to perhaps also participate in other challenges which is kinda related. These were my 3 main goals this year. Hopefully, I would push my self towards to better progress.

This year in my book there would be lots of improvements, for me as a student and a person. One of my goals is to always try my hardest, I want to try my hardest on everything because it would always have better result. Another thing I want to work on it to try and raise my hand more or not be afraid to ask questions. I hope everybody has a great 2017!

This year, I hope to improve on the way I communicate with people. I think and have discovered that it is important the way you approach someone, and talk to them. It has landed me in some trouble. Body language can also explain if you are listening or not. So it is important to know how to communicate as iff you are having the best time of your life. Even though you are probolably most defenitly usually not, you should be talking like that. I also want to work on not coming home dirty from going in the trails. I need to work on smart choices and the way I communicate.
