...This 8th grade year had been full of fun, excitement and surprises and that why I think my song fits this years experience. 8th grade has been one of my favorite years because of the projects and it being the last year of middle school. Even though there has been lots of highs and lows this year, I have always tried to focus on the highs and the good things. Can’t stop the feeling is a great song that represents my 8th grade year perfectly because it shows excitement and different emotions which I felt this year when something good happen like end of the year, starting high school and service day. The first reason why I think “Can’t stop the feeling” is a good song to use is because it shows excitement. Some exciting moments in 8th grade was when we got to meet our first mates and talk about high school. Another exciting moment would be right now when their is 4 days left of school and it’s almost summer. “I can't stop the feelin'...

...and desire to do well in science that he has exhibited this entire year. His video reflection on Maglev trains was very informative and clearly explained how Maglev trains function. For all lab reports and projects this year he has demonstrated the same exemplar work and written to explain with good description and detail. I encourage him to keep up these strong efforts next year in grade 8 and to keep striving to do his best. Bany has stayed consistent with the level of her work this year and I would like to see her take more steps toward improvement. For her lab reports and projects she consistently included the necessary criteria but often did not go beyond the level of stating information...

...What's the first song that came to mind of when you think of 8th grade? Therefore what came to mind first was the song A Day In The Life by the Beatles. I chose this song because it's one of my favorites and it felt like a good song about 8th grade. I found three reasons that support by showing how I felt at the start of the year the middle and the end. I chose this lyric because I was very excited for school and wanted to get to school as fast as I could. The part of the song was "I made the bus in seconds flat." I chose this part because I was eager to go to school on my first day and very thrilled it would be my last year of middle school. In addition I really love to ride the bus because I get to talk to people and my friends every morning and it is sort of like catch up with people you didn't see over the summer. The second set of lyrics I chose were to show how I felt at the middle of the school year and how it wasn't as fun or exciting. It was more of a daily routine of going to school and getting ready. I chose the part of "woke up, fell out of bed. Dragged a comb over my head." I used this to describe how I felt everyday up until around may. It seemed like everyday was just average and nothing different was happening to me same old classes and learning about different things but I wanted something more or...

...Slow, boring, social, interesting at times, drama, rowdy, confusing are a just a few word that i think can describe my 8th grade year. One thing that I think truly represents the ups and downs is the song Home by: Phillip Phillips. The song Home represents my 8th grade experience for its meaningful lyrics. The phrase “Hold on, to me as we go. As we roll down this unfamiliar road” is written in the first lines of the song. This line is a perfect representation of my 8th grade year because it shows that entering 8th grade it was definitely an unfamiliar road for many of us and me especially. During this year I was introduced into many new things whether it was a new book in language arts, a confusing unit in math or a new grammar rules in Spanish. During those times there was always someone to...

...has been identified is the success or lack of success in Algebra 1. Some educational professionals have proposed that an earlier exposure to Algebra 1 in middle school could assist students with being more successful in high school. Thus those students would have a greater chance of graduating with their cohort and possibly even being accepted into a post-secondary school. This action research project studied the correlation between the use of graphic organizers and concept...

...Introduction Once upon a time, I was in 6th grade. I didn’t do anything really besides work. This goes for 7th and 8th. Nothing but work. Since nothing really happened in all of my Junior High years, I guess I’ll have to think of something 6th Grade This year was any average year. Besides the fact I was nervous of going because I thought I would forget my classes and walk into the wrong one like some lunatic. Lucky for me I wasn’t that dumb. The teachers were okay, but two out of the four stuck out. These two were Mr. Hern and Mrs. Metcalf (I didn’t know what Misses to use.) Mr. Hern was cool because he was the most laid back teacher on the planet, and Mrs. Metcalf was cool but I can’t really explain why. She just was. A lot of people here probably talked about the egg thing. They either said theirs broke or theirs lived. The egg thing really...

...8th Grade Finally 8th grade at last, the current grade that I am in and the grade I have not enough to say about due to me having a strange memory and barely can remember events within the past year for some dumb reason. Before the school year started when turning in a required item for our grade during the summer I met someone named Ramon and that I would be their guide for the first week of school. We quickly became friends on that first day of school due to our similar interests and the fact that we had to eat lunch at the same table. Now I don’t really remember the first part of the school year besides a few trips that were ok. We did a trip to Rainbow River and I rode in a tandem kayak with Ramon and got placed into the same snorkel group as him. Other than that I really cannot remember important things this year. I mean I got my phone taken away once because I was muting it due to somebody spamming me and making my phone constantly vibrate....

...My clinical experience and diversity project school location is Girard middle school in a 7th grade Kansas History class and 8th an grade American History classes. Girard is surrounded by rural farm land to the west and north, the City of Pittsburg is the largest neighboring city to the southeast. The demographic makeup of Girard is similar to most schools in southeast Kansas. Girard has a near perfect ratio in gender, with males comprising a slightly larger group than the females. Economically a little under half (47.20%) of the students who attend the middle school fall into the economically disadvantaged category. I was not surprised by this number, since I have noticed students in the classes wearing the same clothes, multiple days in...

...Modern day 8th graders have to juggle hours of schoolwork, a social life, sports, and in some cases work. The question posed by many is, “why do teenagers not have earlier bedtimes or bedtimes in general”? The answer to that question is not as simple as one might initially infer. The answer all factors down to the fact that teenagers are not able to stick to a bedtime. Many have wondered whether a set time for 8th graders to go to sleep will leave them better off, even though it will only do the opposite. 8th graders are not able to, and should not have to stick to a strict bedtime because they will not be able to complete their assigned schoolwork and busy schedules, they should be considered to be responsible enough to make their own decisions,...

...Perspective is being able to see things in someone's point of view. In my opinion, perspective is the foremost crucial habit to learn. Although a person can completely understand a situation until faced with it. My mother used to use perspective in her daily life, which highly impacted my development with perspective throughout her career at Job Path. Job Path is a nonprofit organization that helps unemployed people to be able to find jobs in Pima County. She had to view each of the client's positions. She also has to know if the client had a college degree and in what major to be able to help a client in advancing into a successful career. This has helped me to understand a person's personal situation more clearly. Learning perspective is...

...Home-school: Is There a Reason? In the Fall of 2000, a six year old girl is sitting in her kindergarten classroom waiting for her mom to pick her up. While she waits, she starts cleaning up around her desk and cubbyhole. When her mom come, the teacher gives the girl a hug and the all students waved goodbye, as the girl walk out of the classroom with her mom. This was the girl’s last day of school, public school that is. The girl’s parents pull her out of the public school to homeschool her. Some friends of the parents told them that they started a home school program, and that they should let their daughter join the program before another year of school starts. So the parents ask their daughter if she want to try home schooling. The girl said she would try homeschooling only if she can go back to public school if she does not like being homeschooled. A couple of months after that, the girl started homeschooling. When you think of Homeschooling, what is the first thing that comes to mind? Do you think of a child being pulled out of public school for bad school environment, such as bullying and negative peer-pressure? Maybe you think of a child with special or personal needs?Or, do you think of a child that would be socially shelter from his/hers peers? For some, these are the first conclusions about homeschoolers, but are any of these conclusions true? That 6 year old girl was me 12 years ago, and I remember the first day I started home schooling, I was quite unsure how is...

...PT:1 My first day at middle school was good and bad. I remember in the morning before going to school, I was trying to get ready and when I was trying to go to the bathroom I stepped on a pack of earring with the back facing upwards. I was very mad but I tried to put a smile on my face because I didn’t want the rest of my day to be bad. Later on, in school my feet was hurting badly and I wanted to go home put I knew I wanted to stick it out. I was immature in 6th grade but I grew up in 7th and 8th because I knew middle school was not fun and games anymore. I became more quieter and I was just observing people around me. The work was hard for me to keep up because I had seven different classes and it was different from having three. I hated...

Mrs. Wright, whom teaches 6th grade English and Social Studies, expressed to me that she hoped that she could try many different books in order to hopefully get students who do not typically like to read to start enjoying reading. However, as she was explain her system for AR points and books, to me I witnessed that most students in the class...
