Three Questions

1.) I want to know if we are going to do a cool project this year, like in pairs and do like a model of something? I want to know because I like doing projects with partners, like making the sculpture of something, etc.

2.) Can we do like a mini party at the end of each semester? (with movies, food, etc.) Because this would be a nice way of ending each semester.

3.) Can we do a field trip? I want to know because it would be a fun way to learn math.

How do you best study for math exams and what grades are you expecting in math this year?

The way I like studying best for math is doing like a review sheet that the teacher gives me. Last year Ms. L gave us review sheets with the exact questions there were going to be in the test but in the test she used other numbers. I like studying with the things that are going to be in the test and memorize what is necessary. I am looking forward to have a 7 in math because I know I am capable of having it, and minimum of a 6 but I really don't want a 5 or less. I am a person that is always looking forward to do beyond what they are asking for and a don't like giving up. I want to have 7 or 6 in math and in all of my classes and I don't want to be under the honor roll because I have never been under and I wish I never will. I am looking forward to be a great student and with the energy to study and concentrate to have a great grade. I also like studying in class because I can ask questions to the teacher and my classmates.

What do you expect from this year in math?

First of all I expect that my teacher is patient with us while teaching because sometimes I may get confused or not understanding what he is saying and I would like him to repeat if it is needed. I expect not having loads of homework I think it is all right having homework but not too much because we have other classes with other homeworks. I really expect learning a lot this year it would be good if sometimes we could work like groups because learning from each other may work out. I expect to love math because overall I am good at it sometimes I get confused in some things but after some practice I get to understand it. I expect to have some team or personal projects that encourage us to want to learn more. It would be nice if there is something we are learning that a recognizable person discovered or an important part of the history had to do with it for us to study it or do a project about it. What I mostly expect is to have an organized class, where you feel that it is a good place to learn, and I want to feel happy and with energy to work and with my teacher with good humor most of the time.
