How is the school year going for you? Now that we’ve had time to settle into our routines, I want to hear what you think about your progress and your experience in class.
This school year reflection is a chance to celebrate what you’re doing well, identify something you want to improve, and tell me what could help you learn.
What Are You Doing Well?
Think about a skill, habit, or choice you’re proud of. Maybe you’re participating more, asking questions, staying organized, or working through challenging problems.
Describe one thing you’re doing well and give a specific example.
What Do You Want to Work On?
Everyone has something they can improve. Think about a goal that matters to you, then choose one small action you can take.
What do you need to work on? What will you try next?
What Is Helping You Learn?
Consider the activities and routines we’ve tried so far. You might think about class discussions, group work, independent practice, hands-on activities, or how lessons are explained.
What has helped you learn? Explain how it helps.
What Could We Change?
I want honest feedback about class, too. If something is confusing, frustrating, or isn’t helping you learn, tell me respectfully and give an example. Your ideas can help me decide what to change. If you only write what you think I want to hear, I won’t know what needs attention.
What is one thing I could change to help you learn or participate? Why would that change help?
Your Response
Write a response that answers all four questions. Use complete sentences and specific examples. Before you post, ask yourself: Is my feedback honest, respectful, and useful?
You can be proud of how far you’ve come and still have ideas for making the rest of the school year better. I’m reflecting on those things too.
When you’re finished, check out the rest of our blog for more tips, ideas, and activities to help you learn and grow. Be sure to follow our classroom Instagram page for behind-the-scenes moments, project highlights, and fun updates. Let’s work together to make learning fun, exciting, and something you look forward to every day!

1. I need to improve my active participation during large group discussions.
•2. I will try writing down one question or comment before each class starts.
3.• Doing interactive labs and practical exercises helps me understand difficult concepts much faster.
4. Breaking down complex ideas into step-by-step examples makes the material easier to follow.
5.Allowing a little more quiet time to process reading assignments before jumping into partner talks would reduce rushing.
6.This change would help me organize my thoughts and speak up with more confidence
The thing I’m doing well on is writing notes, and being quiet in class. I want to work on my math and my handwriting. The thing that is helping me learn is when the room is quiet. The thing we could change is to explain how to do something more clearly so I can understand it.
One thing that could help is having a little more quiet time for independent practice before moving into group activities. That extra time lets me process the new lesson completely on my own first.
This school year, I think I’m doing well on my writing skills and on Thinking Math. This year I want to expand how much math I know and get better at working with teams. I also want to expand my vocabulary to improve my writing and notes. It helps me learn when my classmates aren’t being distracting and when what I’m learning about is explained carefully. Something that could change is giving us partners that we feel comfortable with and can talk to during partner discussions without awkwardness.
Since school has started I would say i´m doing okay, definitely not the best considering Science is one the the hardest topics for me. I´m doing well in English, its always been kind of easy for me to write about a specific topic. I think I could improve my Science, its not that I dont listen, I do and honestly I don´t know why its so confusing for me. Something that has been helping me learn is working in productive groups and getting clarification. Also respectfully, something that could help a lot if it was changed is the table groups. It doesnt help trying to work with people who are frustrating and dont help with group projects. I would like to have a productive group that I can get my work done with.
I’m doing good in Math and Science,I participate in Math sometimes.But I would focus more on English becauses during those hours its pure writing and I don’t have that of a good hand writing or just finishing the work in gernal.What helps me in class is when the teachers explain what we are supposed to do because they show examples on the screen or on the board and they show us how to start.What I think students would want participate more is to give students candy.
One thing I’m doing well in is science,math,and taking a quiz. Something I want to work on is math and english so I can have straight A’s.What helped me learn is going home and finishing work that is due that week.Something that i would like to change is to have more time on presentations.something that can make the school year better is fun activites on Fridays.
I’m doing well on participating more in school, and helping others more often.I want to work on my grammar and spelling since my English isn’t that great. A thing that is helping me learn better is group projects since I have people helping me with schoolwork. Something I want to change is to change the temperature a bit so it isn’t very cold.
1) One thing I am doing well with is not getting in trouble or mad or upset because so far I haven had a good reason to get mad and when I got mad last year I got in more trouble the more I did it.
2) something I want to improve is my emotional problems because I get upset really really easily and i want to improve on that and make myself less emotional.
3)Some thing that has helped me is the grasshopper distention because because it could help me if i wanted to be a surgeon but it is smaller while the human body is way bigger but it could help me.
4) One thing I think can help people and me is making the class more quiet I say this because people like me need to foucus mor and a whole class room talking is not a good way to focus.
What I think I’m doing well is my work I have most of it and I think I’m doing good. I want to work on my behavior I know it’s not the best but I’m trying to do better. What is helping me learn is these blog posts they help me learn how to write more. I think we can change our attitudes and the way we act in class.
Im doing well in history & English because i learned a lot about history doing summer. I am doing good in English because ive been speaking and reading and writing English since i was little. Something i want to improve is my math i want get better so i stop getting stuck on math questions and taking me way to long to answer. My teachers are helping me learn more about science math English and history. And i want to keep the things the same.
Something im doing well on is my math grade i´m starting to pay attention a little more and asking around for help like for example i used to just try on my own and not ask at all and if i didnt get it i would just guess but now i try and ask around a little more for help and so my grade wont go down.something i want to work on is my attendance because ive been coming really late and if i dont come on time im going to get a detention something i can do to stop that is go to sleep early and wake up on time something that has helped me learn was the group projects because they give me a due date that i have to complete the assignments so i know i have to put my phone to the side and start working on the work that needs to get done one thing that can change to make me learn better is probably in math i have a good grade but i never understand the work im given i get the work it gives me instructions but sometimes i just dont get what i need to do even if i try i end up getting confused
1: I’m participating more in history and science, I’m also answering more questions in Book Study.
2: One goal I want achive is to have a good report card.
3: One thing that has helped my talking with my group is the Thinking Math that we do.
4: I mean there is nothing to change so yeah everything fine to me.
What I’m doing well is turning in my assignments, I also am well on doing my work while others are pretty loud. I need to improve getting my grades into straight A’s and also improve on turning in my science. My teachers are helping me learn and I can ask them whenever i want to get get help or ask a question on how to do my work. Maybe we can change how we can make steps easier to follow instead of using hard word that some don’t understand.

1. I need to improve my active participation during group discussions.
2. I will try writing down a question or comment before class starts.
3. Doing interactive labs and practical exercises helps me understand really hard concepts much faster.
4. Breaking down complex ideas into step-by-step examples makes the materials more easier to follow.
5.Allowing a little more quiet time to process reading assignments before going into partner talk would reduce rushing.
6.This change would help me organize my thoughts and speak up with more confidence and improvement.
What I’m doing well is that I’m good at keeping things organized, and working through challenging problems to complete them.Something I could work on is my writing skills so I can be better at it. What’s helping me learn is watching someone do something that I don’t understand, because it can help me learn it faster. A thing that you could change is giving us partners that we feel comfortable to talk and work with, because it’s important that we have good relationships with everyone at our table so school can be enjoyable
1 . one thing i am participating alot in is math and ELA
2. one goal for me is getting better at science
3.one thing that is helping me in class is talking to my group to help me figure out how to do my work
4.there is nothing to change because everything is fine
One thing I’m good at is being quiet and doing my work when I’m supposed to. Something I want to improve is my math since it isn’t that good. Another thing I want to improve is participating in class so that I can understand what the teacher is saying. And so I wont be stuck on a question. Something I want to change is to have straight A’s or at least ask a question when I need help with something.
Something that I think I am doing well is history, the reason is because I have a good grade in it. Something I want to work on is math because I don’t understand it sometimes. Something that is helping me learn is looking at the board and asking for help. Something that I could change is trying to figure it out myself.
I’m doing good in Math and Science,I participate in Math sometimes.But I would focus more on English becauses during those hours its pure writing and I don’t have that of a good hand writing or just finishing the work in gernal.What helps me in class is when the teachers explain what we are supposed to do because they show examples on the screen or on the board and they show us how to start.What I think students would want participate more is to give students candy.
1. what we are doing well is world history.
2. I would want to work on math and ela because I I’m not that good at it.
3. For me I what Is helping me learn is my teachers and my friends .
4. What could we change is not messing around .
This year I’m doing well on finishing my work, one thing I will say I want to improve on is my attendence. What has helped me learn this year are my friends my friends would break something down if I don’t get it fully. One thing I think we as a class could change is being quite until the teacher says we could talk because the teacher says if we keep talking we would get more work assigned at we get devestated but still keep talking.
First, I’m doing well in all subjects right now. I have 3 A’s and one B.
Second, one thing I want to work on is my hand writing. It’s not the worst, but I can improve.
Third, something that helps me learn is watching videos of what we’re learning. They help me understand more.
Fourth, one thing that could change is not doing work in the math BOOKS. I like Amplify more because it helps me understand.
I think I am doing pretty well in my class right now, I think what I have work on is getting everything done in class and not waiting till Friday or last minute till it is due. One thing that is helping me learn is the spider science simulation where I can see all the different traits, it helps me because I actually see how it works and not just in writing, What I think y’all could change is maybe when we have online assignments you can explain it to us a bit more before just giving the assignment because then sometimes I don’t know what to do.
One thing I’m doing well is finishing all my homework; however, I’d like to work more on history and science—subjects I enjoy but need to put more effort into. I’d also like to improve my English so no one makes fun of the way I speak it. As for what you could change, I wish you would explain the assignments or how to do things more thoroughly, rather than just saying “do this” or “do that” as if that were actually helpful.
1 this year I’m doing more work than last year
2 this year I’m doing more writing and work
3 this year I wanna finish all my work and get better at math
