1. Introduction

Hey! my name is Tashim Zene Jr. and I am 12 years old. I am a 6th grader at the Boston Renaissance Charter Public School. My classroom is CR2. I have been at the Boston Renaissance for 7 years now. BRCPS is one of the best schools in Boston. It has great teachers that will teach you everything you need to know. In this school we have 10 core values.The core value that best defines me is Courage because I have a lot of it. Courage means that you have the ability to do something that frightens people. An example of when I showed courage is when I had to make a presentation about probability in front of the whole school. My Eportfolio will show my best work and all of my strengths and goals.

2.ELA E.L.A is the classroom where we study grammar. Every Monday we get vocabulary and learn about a new topic. The assignment I chose is the final draft of the Giver comic strip. It was assigned when we were finishing the book. What I had to do to complete this assignment was draw a picture from a part from the story and write how was it important. This was connected to the book I was reading. What I have learned from this assignment is that an utopian society is a place were people think their world is perfect. I am proud of this assignment because I did my best on it and got an A+.

3. Social Studies Social Studies is the class were we study the world and history. An assignment I chose was Greek Myths. In this assignment I had to read a section about Demeter and Persephone, then I had to answer questions about it. Also I had to read it more than once because some parts I didn't understand. This assignment was connected to class because it was when we learned about Greek Gods. What I have learned from this assignment was who Demeter and Persephone were because I have never heard of them before. I am proud of this assignment because I did it to the best of my ability and got a 30/30 on it.

4. Science Science is the class were we study what the atmosphere is. This is an assignment I did on the food chain. In this assignment I had to draw what I ate for breakfast, lunch, and dinner with a partner. After drawing the pictures, we had to write whether each thing was a decomposer, a producer or a consumer. This was connected to class because we were learning about Producers, Consumers, and Decomposers. From this assignment, I learned about producers, consumers, and decomposers. I am proud of my work because I had fun doing it and I did a good job on it.

5. Math Math is the classroom where we study volume, probability, fractions, decimals, and word problems. An assignment I have chosen was when I had to turn my name into a fraction. It was very fun. It was fun because it was a project that I could enjoy doing again. It was connected to class because in class we were learning about dividing and multiplying fractions. During this assignment I learned how to add fractions and turn them from improper fractions to mixed numbers. I am proud of it because I got a good grade and it is hanging up on the wall outside of our classroom.

6. Specialty In music we learn how to play songs and learn notes. One assignment from Music that I have chosen was when we had to play the C-scale in front of the class. This assignment was assigned when we first started music. This was connected to class because we was learning which notes to play. I am proud because Mr.Connor said I played it right.

7. MCAS MCAS is the Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System. We take MCAS so we can see where we are in that subject and what we need help with. I can prepare by getting a lot of sleep so I wont be tired. Also I will take breaks during the test. Lastly I will Do my best. Some advice I would give to future sixth graders is NEVER GIVE UP!

8. Technology At BRCPS we have technology. Some skills i have learned is type faster and how to work Imovie. One skill that I think that is my strongest is working in Imovie. When you work in Imovie you make movies. It is my strongest skill because I am really G good at it and i have had experience before. This skill will lead to my future by helping me if I wanted to be a director.

9. Citizenship Being a good citizen means to be a person who people like and respect. An experience i participated in was Junior Coaching. I was asked to help an monitor students at recess. I learned that junior coaching can be a fun job but also serious. It helped me become a better citizen by showing how students are supposed to do right.

10.Career Goal My Career goal after college is to become a professional basketball player. Right now I am in the AAU basketball league and play until i am in the NBA. In college I can play my hardest and hope scouts come to see me and might draft me.

11.My Future My hopes and dreams for the future is to attend Florida state university. BRCPS has helped me by letting me show off my skills during our league, Ran by coach keith.
