Eighth grade

When I was in eighth grade I learned a valuable lesson, discipline. I learned this lesson by taking math 1 in the eighth grade. I wasn’t in the AIG classes, so I jumped from seventh grade math to ninth grade math. I really liked math because it came easy to me until this year. I struggled so much that year while my classmates were not because they were in the AIG classes. I felt like I was slacking and I couldn't keep up. At that moment I knew that I had to work much harder than I had before…

break friendships. I lost friends when I left middle school and gained some when I came to high school. However, there is a group of girls that I have been friends with since eighth grade. This is the story of how I met a group of strangers in the eighth grade and how they became my best friends. We had been in the eighth grade for about two weeks and I only had one friend in homeroom. Her name was Daisy and every day at lunch, we would sit together. One day while Daisy and I were eating lunch…

During that time, my life as an eighth grade student has been extremely busy. Allow me to share with you a few of my activities. Beginning in January, I started taking volleyball lessons. In school, I am in the Ram Buddies program where I support other eighth grade students with special needs. Presently, I am selecting courses for my ninth grade curriculum. Recently, all students at the Spring-Ford Eighth grade center were presented with the Course Book for ninth grade class selections. I plan…

in middle school. She kept going on and on about how amazing her grades were back then, and I couldn’t help but think to myself, “Wait, people actually tried in middle school?” About 4 years ago, I couldn’t have cared less about the grades I received on my report card. I was perfectly content with getting a few F’s – after all, I assumed, what harm would they do me in middle school? It’s not like colleges looked at my eighth grade report card! However, I was soon going to be progressing into…

Text Information When a student enters Sixth grade in Texas, it marks a shift in the way new information is taught to them; in science, the information becomes more interdisciplinary and information starts to build on top of previously learned concepts. While Sixth and Seventh grade focus on physical science, organisms, and the environment; Eighth grade focuses on earth and space science. Over the years, many textbooks have been written to specifically comply with the Texas Essential Knowledge…

like the different grades and the obstacles we face in the way. It is a great privilege for me to be standing here in front of you, on behalf of my classmates, to express the happiness that we feel in our hearts today. The past three years I’ve spent at Spring View will be remembered and cherished forever. They say, “People only remember the first and forget the rest” but I believe that these three years have been a journey and we will take many memories with us.…

My 8-grade year I moved to a new town. In my old town, I went to school with the same people from preschool to seventh grade. The town I moved to all the students I went to school with already had their group of friends. People they have grown up with and went to school with their whole life, it was hard to fit in everyone stared at you. I was overweight when i would walk down the halls students would point and laugh at me. no one would sit next to me talk to me or even invite me to their table…

I can still remember how bummed my friend was when she found out that she was on the Team H again for eighth grade. Having the same teachers for all of middle school was rare at that time, as there was only a handful of us. Although it may be assumed that my experience would be stagnant, that couldn’t be farther from the truth. Having the same teachers meant that we didn’t have to go through the awkward ice breakers. In fact, being on Team H again meant helped me learn in a way I have never…

beneficial. Not to imply that I enjoyed middle school more than Elementary School, but during middle school, I met new people, tried new things, and branched out socially. Eighth grade especially was when I was shaped more into the person I am today, more so than any other grade in middle school. A significant part of my Eighth grade was not only branching out socially, but branching out musically. Prior to the beginning of the school year, I began to receive drum lessons. I am still taking…

generalizations about their properties. In the first grade, TEK 1(6)(D & E), they begin using formal geometric language while they discuss the attributes. The students begin joining shapes together to form a larger specified shape, TEK (1)(6)(F), which is very important in the ability to eventually prove congruence. They are beginning to see one figure composed of others. They will use this skill later when analyzing proofs. In the second grade, analysis continues as students create shapes…
