Just yesterday the National Hockey League announced that Cujo also known as Curtis Joseph, has hanged up the skates for good. He played for the St. Louis Blues, Edmonton Oilers, Detroit Red Wings, Phoenix Coyotes, Calgary Flames, but the place that he made a name for himself was in Toronto. Also he is the goalie with the most wins of all time that hasn’t won a Stanely Cup! The good thing was that he at least won a gold medal at the Olympics in 2002 at Salt Lake City. On October 28, 2005, he won his 400th NHL game. On March 28, 2006, he posted his 424th career win, thereby moving into sixth place on the NHL’s all-time list, passing Tony Esposito. On March 1 of 2008, Joseph moved past Terry Sawchuk for fourth place in all-time NHL wins with 448 in a 3-1 win over his former team, the Phoenix Coyotes.
Cujo had a great career, and he has no regrets.

In class right now we are reading a book called Iqbal. It is about a child hero and it is a fictional recount of his life. It is a pretty good book for people who like mystery books. Out of five stars I would give it 3 stars. It is good because after you read one chapter at the end of the chapter it will say something that makes you want to read the next chapter. So if you like mysterious books then this is a good book.

This year our school decided to stop giving out report cards! Sounds crazy right? Well, actually it is a very interesting change in how we assess our own learning, how our teachers assess our learning and how the feedback from these assessments is delivered and shared with our parents and each other. The biggest change has come in the form of a personal student portfolio. At the beginning of this year, every student in Lower School was given a nice, big, red binder. Throughout the year we have been using it to organize and compile work we’ve done that exhibits our growth, our development, our struggles, and our achievements. It’s actually like a living and constantly growing ‘report card’. Inside you’ll find math work, writing examples, art, Chinese studies work, etc. Ms. Cahusac often comments on our work, writes feedback to help us improve and encourages us to stay organized and on track by showing the best ways to file our work and take care of our portfolios.
The best part of my portfolio is showing people who look in your portfolio what you’ve done. So then the parents know what we are doing in class because before the parents always got an idea from us. The thing I really like though is the learning reviews. I like them because the don’t have so much stuff on it to read it is just the marks.
The thing I really don’t like about my portfolio is that in class we use up like around 30 minutes to put things in the portfolio. Its because first we have to get see-thru sleeves to put our work in, then we have to put our work in it and sometimes we have to put them in certain places and it just gets REALLY confusing and annoying. And also I actually liked it when we had a lot of paragraphs all over my report card because I found it fun reading them.
In November, during our learning updates and portfolio reviews with our parents and Ms. Cahusac, we established some personal learning goals to work on. My goals were, Try to keep consistent at writing, work on sentence development and improve to keep being organized. I think planning and working on personal goals is hard and it takes a lot of time but I like having goals because then I have to keep working on them while I’m trying to keep the good marks so it is kind of like a challenge. I’ve been mostly successful in attaining my goals. This is because when I’m working I always try to remember them and always try to improve on them so then I can try and improve on the other ones that I’m struggling with. This month I’m going to only put things in my portfolio that are either really important or special or good because now the teacher won’t be telling us what to put in there so we will have to make our own decision of what to do. Soon I’ll have to start thinking about new goals! Things I want to improve on include P.E, getting better at math because I’m not really good at it and again like last term I want to get better at making sentences
Overall, I still kind of want to go back to report cards.

And again, today is another “Photo Of The Day”. Today isn’t just a normal Photo of the day. Today we have to have a photo of 2010. So today I was thinking about how I’m going to the semi-final ice hockey in the Olympics and how Alex Ovechkin is my favorite player so I am going to show you his jersey for “Photo Of The Day”. Please comment to tell me who your favorite player is.

It is Christmas Time at CDNIS! Here at CDNIS we celebrate Christmas like it will never happen again. We do a whole load of things. Lets start with the Winter Concert. The Winter Concert is a concert that every grade does and most of the time it is about Christmas and we have to dress up in red or green. This year it was different because we played instruments and we played the song boom di ada (from Discovery Channel). I couldn’t make it this year because I had a ice hockey tryout to go to Beijing in February. Now we will talk about the Christmas tree. Every year there is a Christmas tree at the entrance of the school. It is for students to put things like food, toys and stuff like that and it will go to The Home Of Love which is a place where the poor people live. Also my mum and I deliver the items to The Home Of Love. This year in the Eagle Nest we are playing a game called Secret Santa. In our class the rules are, everyday we have to bring something for them but make sure they don’t see you. Then at the end of the week we all guess who was our Secret Santa and if we get it correct we will get a prize. Also tomorrow we have a Christmas party to celebrate Christmas. So we will watch Christmas movies and have food and talk with friends.
Wish you a Merry Christmas!

Our new unit is about Recycling. Our Summative Assessment is, the teacher is making us a person in the HK society . We are going to have to tell everyone our perspective if we were them. My person is a principal of a school and a landfill is being built beside the school. So we have being watching movies on youtube and sites for information about stuff like introduction, conclusions and things like that. My strategy is going to be by starting say I wasn’t happy they were building a landfill first but then I was able to use the landfill a bit with our units at the school and to educate people. Although at the same time I also have to convince everyone to look at it my way and I am still trying to come up with that.
Here are some of the new words and things we have learned:
- Have facts so it is not always your opinions
- Use persuasive words and transition words like “On the other hand or however”
- In your introduction you should have 3 parts, Attention Getter, Creditability, and the thesis(what you are going to tell the audience).
- The body will be where you put all your ideas.
- The conclusion shouldn’t be something like this “um, well that is my speech, um well, thank you for listening.
- Make sure you research stuff because what you think might not be true.
- Last but not least PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!

Today, our class all did a wordle. Wordle is a website that takes all the words from either a website or a document. It gets all the words and makes them really big if you have that word a lot. So then people like teachers can get an idea of what your S.A is about.
Anyways, this is my wordle hope you like it and feel free to leave a comment.
