Mid-Term Report Card
So far I have enjoyed community leadership. The class games,visitors, and our volunteer work has given me a good experience. I have learned a lot along the way, I really enjoyed learning about where our clothes come from. The documentary of Bangladesh really surprised me, It was shocking to see how the people from their are being treated for our clothes here in Canada. Learning about the community and about ways we can start volunteering is affective since it gives us opportunities to help out ways that we enjoy not only going for the hours. I have also learned how much preparation the organizers go through weather it is the students or teacher a lot of work goes in to get students involved. My attendance has been great so far, I have come to class everyday except I missed 1 day which was the planting because I forgot to bring a change of clothes. I have come to class bringing a positive attitude and looking forward to the class, following our class expectations. Although I need to work on class contribution. I still need to work on giving my opinion and getting out of my comfort zone, I will try to change this for the next report. The volunteering we have done so far has given me great experiences. I have done the shoreline clean-up, Gr.8 retreat, lunch for new students, garbage pick-up, the terry fox run, parent teacher interviews, blackberry removal, the movember banner and the surrey food bank. All together so far I have 18 hours. Overall I enjoy the school events and the surrey food bank the most. I enjoy helping with the school events and for our community as well. Outside of this class I have done special events with the City Of Surrey for example Canada Day and the Fusion Festival. I have also signed up for volunteering at the Surrey Food Bank had hope to start soon. I also like the idea of the Soup Kitchen and the senior homes. I think we should make a trip to the soup kitchen or continue our idea with the sandwiches. I look forward to getting more experience out from this class and I think so far I deserve 94%.
