  connect- sometimes in social studies there are certain objects and old language used when talking about cultures from the past. Remembering words from the past and ways they lived is either still the same or significantly different! extend- social studies always makes me question about things from the past like when, where, why, who and how. it always amazes me that things that were considered small are big problems if they were to happen today. challenge- i always have a challenge when it comes to remembering important dates of the past and where they took place, i'm not very good at geography and since social studies is within that i have a bit of a hard time.

  connect- they all connect together as critical thinking is a major thing in math, some things you just need to know at the top of your head to understand the question. Other questions require more thought than others and sometimes questions don't make sense, but in the end they always have an answer. extend- math extended my thinking by making me think of every possible question that honestly makes it harder than it should be. math is not the easiest and I know a lot of people who struggle yet i can't stop over thinking the questions. challenge- the challenge with math isn't even the math it's the way math is displayed in word form with variables and trying to turn numbers into fractions, decimals and so on.

  connection- They all have to do with creativity and imagination, i had to think deeply about what to come up with off the top of my head. When it come to writing stories or something just from scratch in my head I have to visualize, think, and get second opinions. extend- it extended my thinking because writing is what i make it to be, not others. I write or draw my own thoughts i have and display them as i know it was me who made it my own work. challenge- challenges i face when it comes to writing or drawing is that, my brain doesn't always know what it is I can write or draw. It takes time and thought to come up with a subject to draw or write. There's always limits to what i can write but soon give up if it doesn't come out right. Time is always a struggle when it comes to anything that you have to imagine first.

  I see my practice on the Pythagorean theorem problem solving. I think I did better than  I thought for it being my first time doing the method and  it being a word problem. I wonder if i were to relearn the Pythagorean theorem from scratch would it be "oh, i know this" or "i recall it but not quite sure".

  I see my must see tour project that was not really science but was during science I think i did very well on this assignment as I like learning about places i want to go I wonder if i'll be able to see all the places i mentioned.

  I see the drawing of a butterfly i made that I thought represented me in a way. I think i could have done a bit better on the colouring and black streaks. I wonder why i chose a butter fly instead of my favourite animal at the time which was a turtle.
