Active Living 11 – Core Competencies

Strengths:
In PE class, I do very well in team games. Even when I play a sport for the first time, I try my best to perform at my best and cooperate with my teammates. For example, in field hockey, even though I had no previous experience, I tried to help the team and make others happy by catching the ball, passing, and defending the goal.

Stretches (Areas to Grow):
I feel like I can get better at talking to my classmates and expressing myself. Sometimes I can’t speak properly or stand up for myself. I want to practice being more comfortable with others and helping move things around in class.

Goal:
My goal is to connect with more people in each new game or activity and to get help from the teacher to practice communication skills. By the end of this semester, I want to be able to talk more easily with classmates and volunteer to participate in group projects or move supplies.

Tech Team Quarter 1 Reflection + Core Competency

In my first experience of being in Tech Team in school was learning a lot thing such as get to know more people, learn more about the technology when helping the other students, using Cricut, making my own t-shirt and also have more information about the makerspace and how to use it.

In the begging we learn about how we can be part of this team and what are the responsibilities we have like if someone does not know anything about solving a problem with a phone, laptop or any other device they teach us the firsts steps.
In continue the opener job was making our own t-shirt with “RAPID TECH TEAM” and out NAME on the sleeves of them and we also can personalize them. During making them i got a chance to help A LOT of teams to make it such as help them to how remove some part of the vinyl’s, how to place them correctly and center, how to use the iron, and how to use the Cricut to make their name,  i really like doing this and help others because i can make more communication and get to know my teams.
This was one my meaningful and interesting experience that i had so far in this class because it was my first time doing all these things but i could help a lot to others.
After all of these beside help them i also helped other students that were not in the tech team with using printers, issues with connecting to Wi-Fi and all of these help me to be ready for so many different jobs, opportunities and make my communication strong and also improve myself.
 Last project that all the tech team have done is making a pumpkin for the pumpkin composition that was due on Halloween Day. This Composition is for the students that they choose to make it and all the tech team students, this game is like all students should design a pumpkin without cutting it and any other thing is up to them to how they want to design it and the only rules were do not cut it and use one thing from makerspace such as Cricut , 3D print or anything. The design that me and my teammate choose was something that is close to Halloween and also unique, and we decide to use idea from the inspired to paint the pumpkin by the character La Catrina. La Catrina is a famous symbol of Mexican culture, representing death in beautiful and luxurious costumes and usually seen during the Day of the Dead (Día de los Muertos) celebration.
This character shows that death is a natural part of life and that everyone, even the rich, is equal before it. This project was also one my favorite one because i live doing art and even show it to the people makes me more enjoyable even if it’s on pumpkin.
here is the processes and the final look.
Being part of the tech team it means help everyone even if you don’t know how you can just try your best maybe work maybe not.
Another part of my helps that i try to do was helping Ms. Henderson with designing earing for the workshop and here is some of the design that i could done so far and we are going to use makerspace to make them using 3D print and also try to make them with wood.
These are all the helps and experiences that i got so far from tech team and I’m so glad that my friend told me about it and make me join it.
