WELCOME TO 8TH GRADE !
The first thing that I need you to understand is that this year will be as awesome as you make it. Your teachers don't make 8th grade awesome, we just facilitate the awesomeness.
The second thing that I need you to understand is that this year is a pivotal one for you. You will be coming into your own this year and developing, maybe even solidifying who you are. The choices and habits you make and develop this year will have a lasting impact on the rest of your scholastic career. The knowledge and skills you acquire in this class will help prepare you to be a working part of a 21st century United States of America. The Last thing I need you to understand is that you WILL be challenged this year in my classes. I expect and except nothing less than high quality work. But your classmates and I will be there every step of the way to build upon your knowledge and 21st Century Skills, to gain new and insightful perspectives, and to make connections from the past to the present. To help you out here are a few important tips: 1. The remind banner to the right will help you remember what's going on in class. 2. The current unit calendar is right underneath the remind banner 3. There is a unit calendar below that will stay up to date with all work, assignments, and due dates. |
