  What are your friendship strengths and challenges? Some of my friendship strengths would be staying loyal and being able to know what a friend needs and when they need (I call that a friendship hunch). A challenge I face is that  it's hard for me to find someone I trust to be my friend, and when I find a person I do trust, I cling onto them. Explain what you’ve learned about the movement pattern (Rotations) and concept (Tactics and Shots). I've learned that it's very important to have a good rotation motion when I'm about to swing otherwise that ball won't go where I want it to. A concept I learned is to hit the ball to where my opponent(s) aren't. What are 2 specific things you’d like to accomplish this year in PE? I want to be able to improve my stamina (specifically in running). I also want to be able to learn how to watch and control what I eat.

Project Compost was started by an intern in the  UC Davis'   campus-recycling program in the Fall of 1999. The project was started by intern named  Max Cadji, who saw that the universaty recycled everything (paper, plastic, metal, etc.) but food waste . Max helped the university start a composting system which produces healthy soil for the student's farm. Max helped decrease the amount of food waste and helped inform all the other students about composting and it's positive effect on the environment. Project Compost's goals are action and education.  Learn more here:  https://projectcompost.ucdavis.edu/

This is my section in the video: https://youtu.be/buWqCAz4AGQ?t=1m36s (From 1:36 to 1:46) I am facing forward position and when the ball comes, I drop my racquet back and swing to hit the ball. My wrist is not as firm as it should be though. Because of that, I end up not following through with my racquet. You can see this here: My swing is supposed to look like this: (Images from here:  https://youtu.be/UM0Tn3WLACY?t=1m25s ) I do not follow through, which leaves me in a twisted pretzel shape... Two  good things I am doing in my forearm swing are: I start in the right forward position I move one of my feet back so I can do a clean swing Two things I need to work on are: I need to make my wrist more firm when I swing  After I am able to swing with a firm wrist, I will be able to follow through on my swing correctly.

*Important vocabulary is underlined What are the common properties of all polygons? Some facts that all polygons share are: 1. All polygons have to be a closed shape. 2. A polygon must have straight sides i.e. no curved sides. 3. Polygons can't have any intersecting lines, but they must have 3 or more sides. 4. All of the polygon's sides must meet at vertices (corners) , which form angles. ••• What does the measure in degrees tell you about an angle? What are some common benchmark angles? The amount of turn between two straight lines that have a common endpoint or vertex is called an angle . From the measure of degrees, we learn how far the moving arm (called the terminal side/arm ) is from the starting arm (called the initial side/arm ). In this example: I can see that the terminal side has moved 20 ° from the initial side. This creates a 20° angle. Common benchmark angles are usually multiples of either 45 ° or 30°. The most common b...
