English
With Ms. Sveiven
In English, we learned all about different types of writing, such as narrative and informative. We read a novel called "The Giver" by Lois Lowry and many news articles, some fake and some reliable.
My Favorite Assignment...
I determined if this news source was reliable or fake. I chose the article about binge-watching because I wanted to know if It was really harmful to people.

My favorite assignment...
My favorite assignment was the Solar System slides because I got to research every planet and learn different facts about them. Which helped me to compare them all.
In Science we have been learning about Astronomy and Non-contact forces! Students have studied the solar system, analyzed the planets, and created models of the solar system and Earth-sun-moon system.
Math
In 8th grade math, students have worked with Number Systems, Expressions and Equations, and Functions, and will be diving in to Pythagorean Theorem, Geometry and Probability and Statistics for the remainder of the year.

History
With Mr. McDaniel
P.E. with Mr.McDaniel is always different. We have watched several videos on basketball, volleyball, and baseball. All the videos have taught us different technics on how to pass a ball, catch a ball, and hit the ball according to the sport. Occasionally, on more stressful days, Mr.McDaniel would put a yoga or meditating video to make us all relaxed and calm.

REFLECTIONS
What was your favorite part of this year? This could be about an assignment, a teacher, or a school experience.
My favorite part of this year was when we all played among us with our teacher Ms. Sveiven. Playing with everyone was really fun, hearing everyone's voice for the first time, even though we were arguing on who was the imposter, it was fun. Another favorite part of this year was when we had to make a comic, it was fun to draw the scenes and come up with a creative plot.
