Skytrex Reflection

          Kindness, Honesty, Responsibility and Respect. These are all really important values to have in our lives, they help us shape our lives in the best way possible. It's really good that we start at such a young age, which is sort of a direct quote from my Dad, because I really don't think I'm THAT young. But anyways, core values are good guidelines to live your life by. They bring out the positive traits in us.

          During our field-trip to Skytrex, I demonstrated the Middle School Core Value of Respect.  Respect is an important core value, because of the fact, that we need to respect one another so that we can work well together- Collaborating Constructively. See? A connection between a core value and an SLR!

          An example of my respect towards others was the fact that if people came before me on the activities, I let them go first and didn't cut the line. This helped the trip go more smoothly, because there was less of a chance of people complaining that someone cut.

          Another example of respect was the fact that I encouraged people to keep going when they were stuck on an obstacle course. This also falls under Kindness. This made the trip go on a more positive path, because people didn't feel embarrassed that they were taking so long on the obstacle course. I thought about how I would feel if someone treated me the same way, and just acted on that.

          I loved going on the Skytrex Field Trip because I was able to do things, that I never thought I'd be able of doing on my own, and I spent a lot of time getting to know people I didn't know that well, and with friends.

  1. Your skytrex reflection will eventually be 'housed' on your portfolio landing page. For now, my response is an acknowledgement that you have completed it. Team 8A teachers hope that you had fun, bonded with other classmates and had an opportunity not only to practice our MS Core values, but that you could adequately reflect on them as well.
