Smart Goals: What does SMART mean? __**M**__easurable- How I"ve met my goal? __**A**__ttainable- Can it be done? __**R**__ealistic- Can I do it? __**T**__imeframe- When is it due?

My SMART Goal? I would like to improve my math grade this trimester. I want to do this because I would love to get into a good college.

How am I doing with my SMART Goal? I am going to study harder for my quizes and my tests. If I get PP or lower on my test (even a P-) I will re-take my quiz/test. I will do everything possible to higher my goals to profient. My teachers and my parents could help me with my goal-- like encourage me and stuff like that. When I know I have accomplished this goal is when I get all "A-s" on my report card (in math) and I get all A's on my tests and quizes.

Cornell Notes: How do I use Cornell Notes? On your paper, strike a capitle "i" shape. On the right side, write the notes that you think are necessary. In left section, write what you this is most important. Next, you write what you've learned or show what you've learned to your teacher. At the top, write the best fitting title.

Cooperative Skills: 1. **Break tension and be friendly-** Be nice and introduce yourself. 2. **Learn and use names-** If somebody tells you their name then use the name that they gave you. 3. **Arrange desks properly-** Make the desks look neat. 4. **Use positive body language-** Dont slouch when somebody is talking to you. 5. **Be aware of eye contact-** Look at somebody in the eye when they're talking to you. 6. **Listen to others and take turns giving answers-** Dont interupt people when they're answering or talking to somebidy else. 7. **Use positive body commetns. encourage, and express appritation-** Dont be rude and pretend something is boring.

Reflections: I think that Cooperative Skills is the best out of all of the 3 skills I have here. This is because you need those skills to have a better life (in my opinion). Even if you don't like a person, you need to use Cooperative Skills to get a long with that person. You always want to have friends opposed to enemies.
