1.Introduction

HELLO my name is KASSANDRA SANTIAGO I am 12 years old and I am in the 6th grade at the BOSTON RENIASSANCE CHARTER PUBLIC SCHOOL. One core value that defines me is HOPE. Hope means to believe in your self and to have confidence in what you have to do. Hope defines me cause I have confidence in myself. My EPortfolio will say why I picked the work that I did and how I got a good grade on it and my EPortfolio will show how I work in ELA, MATH, and my other subjects.

2.Ela What is ELA? ELA is English Language Arts which we learn how to use our strategies that we need for tests and the MCAS.This year in ELA we learned about the "THE GIVER BY LOIS LOWRY".The assignment that i picked is a test we all had to take on september 30,2011.To complete the assignment we had to answer vocabulary questions, Questions from a story we had to read, and a story map from a storys named " Around the world of music" and "THE TEA BOAT". I learned that i can get a good grade on a test if i just try really hard. I am proud of this assignment because i got a A+ and how i worked really hard and got the grade i wanted.

3.Social studies What is social studies?Social studies is a subject which we learn about the nazis by reading "NUMBER THE STARS" BY LOIS LOWRY.The assignment i would chose is when we had to right a summary about the chapters we read in NUMBER THE STARS.This assignment was assigned in the 2nd trimester of the school year. We had to complete the immigration debate from the scholastic news. I learned that the that the some immigrats fought for our country and is still alive. I am proud of this assignment because it helped me to understand what the story was really talking about and what was going on. 4.Science

5.Math What is Math? Math is a subject where we learn about fractions, adding fractions, subtracting factions, and many more. The assignment i picked is My Name Is A Fraction. This assignment was assigned in the 1st trimester. We had to complete the assignment by writing you name on a paper and find the fraction of each letter in your name, Then you add all the fractions up and you get your improper fraction. The assignment is connected to something else we were about at the time.I am proud of this assignment because it tought me that my name can be a fraction and then you can turn it into a mixed number.

6.Specialty The specialty class i choose is music class with MR.CONNER, and in that class we use the pianos and get to learn how to play songs.The assignment i choose is when we had to take a test on where each finger has to be when you are playing song or tune.This assignment was assigned in the 3rd trimester.To complete the assignment we had to practice until we got it right the first time we tried.This assignment was not connected to anything else we were learning at the time.I learned that if you keep on trying hard you will get it right the first time.I am proud of this assignment cause i made an improvement in my effort.

7.MCAS What is MCAS? MCAS is a big test we have to take to improve our grades and it is a test that everyone from 3rd to 12th grade take.The reason why we have to take the MCAS is to tell our parents if we really pay attention in class or not.How do i prepare for the MCAS ? Well i prepare by trying my hardest on every quiz/test or even center work and homework.Some advice i would give to the future 6th grades is to always try you best on every thing you that the teacher hands out.Also try your hardest on the MCAS.
