Class of 2021 -- Blog #7 -- The Light at the End of the Tunnel . . . !

It is really hard to believe, but our 8th grade year together is quickly drawing to a close.  By the end of this week, you will have completed 75% of 8th grade, with only one nine-weeks' grading period remaining.

It seems like only yesterday, that we were talking about Johnny Tremain, Animal Farm and creating amazing pumpkin projects!


We were getting ready for the holidays and having a fun time with students at Stratton!


We were hoping for snow days, and getting none, while we muddled through research projects, presentations and reading Julius Caesar!


Now, here we are!  It's the end of March, and we can see the light at the end of the proverbial 8th grade tunnel!


So, here's the question.  How are you going to make the last 25% of your 8th grade year the best?  How are you going to improve grades (not just English!)?  How are you going to enjoy time with friends?  How are you going to do your best in all aspects of life?

Please respond in TWO to THREE complete sentences for TWO extra credit points.  Remember these are weighted like tests, so it's really like SIX extra points in your cumulative total!  This blog will close on Friday, 3/3/17 at midnight!  WRITE ON!!

  1. I am going to improve my grades by making sure i am prepared more and no what i am doing before I do it. I want to also spend the rest of the year being with friends that may leave. I will do my best in my life by thinking of how God would act. I will also be sure i make all my friends feel special and wanted. Not leaving anyone out of anything.

  2. I want to study hard to make straight A's, so I can skip the final exams. I want to hang out with my friends more outside of school, like going to a movie or something. I am going to make the best quarter yet by thinking bad about anything, only optimism and no stress.

  4. I'm going to improve my grades by studying and doing the things earlier then the day before. I also will hang out with my friends more instead of going home and doing nothing, I'll talk to them more. To do better in the aspect in life I will read the Bible more, understand it, & apply it

  5. I am going to improve my grades by preparing myself with plenty of time before the assingment is due. I am going to try to do more with my friends as 8th comes to an end. I will try to hang out with more than my usual friend group. I want to try to get to know more people in our grade. To do better in my life overall, I want to start thinking about what Jesus would do before I just do things. I want to make sure people know I'm a christian, & have no doubts about that.

  6. I'm going to make the last 25% of this year the best by staying on top of everything. I am going to improve my grades by studying as hard as I possibly can and working to the best of my ability. I'm going to enjoy the time I have at school with friends and invite them to hang. Im going to improve in all aspects of life by acting like Christ would, and that's how I'm going to make the rest of this year better.

  12. I plan to finish this school year strong by staying ahead of my class work, and completing homework as soon as it is assigned. I have had great grades so far, and I intend on keeping them that way. My grades for this school year have, literally, been the best grades I've ever made, and being exempt from the finals is where I'm headed.

  15. It's scary to think I will be a freshman next year. I am going to make the last 25% of 8th grade count! I want to spend it with my friends and getting better grades. During my first year of high school softball I would sure love to make it to state! Towards the end of the year everybody tends to slack off, but this year I want to finish out strong.

  20. Honestly, I'd barely noticed how close I am to high school until recently. I'm going to make sure and keep my grades up, especially algebra, as I head towards the end of the year! Of course, I'll also be hanging with my friends when I'm free.

  22. The last nine weeks I'm going to try and push to the end. I am going to make it count because after this year I have to go to high school, and deal with those crazy people everyday. For the last nine weeks I'm going to not stress everything to the last minute like I've done for a while and get everything done faster than the night before.

  26. For my last 9 weeks, I will try to be more organized with work. I will try my very best to work around my sports scedule. I will definitely try to improve on the, "oh, its just a quiz, it's okay" saying. I need to do my best in every piece of work I do. I feel like these last 9 weeks will be the best 9 weeks of this school year!

  27. For my last nine weeks of middle school, I am going to make the most of it. Whether it be in the classroom, and improving my grades. It can also be with my friends, I have made a lot of new friends this year because of the assignments that we do for class. I am going to savor every moment, and learn not to stress out over everything.
