5 weeks, 8th grade

8th grade is very similar to 7th, except we have more homework, and we don't have some of the great teachers like Che or Eddy this year. So far 8th grade is much like what I expected it to be, but it is to early to tell whether I will have as good of a year I had last year.

Although I miss many of my really close friends that either left the school or graduated to high school, I still have many friends in both 8th and 7th grade and I look forward to meeting new ones.

I look forward to getting to know some of our classmate, especially some of our new sevvies. I lead by example, and by trying to talk more in class and get involved in the class discussions more often I would like to show the sevvies that talking in class is a very important thing to do.

I would like to learn to become a better studier for high school because studying is a very important skill for high school and I and not the best at it. I'd also like to become more organized so that I don't lose as many things and I forget to do less assignments. I think it is very important to prepare for high school this year, but also very important to make the 7th graders feel welcome to junior high, and also ready for the differences and challenges in their 7th and 8th grade years.
