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.
I determined if this news source was reliable or fake. I chose this article because i genuinely wanted to know if there was a boba shortage.

Science
With Ms. Estrada
My favorite assignment...
I had chosen the planet slides project because it had really displayed what we know about the planets. And what Ms.Estrada taught us.
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
With Mr. Mullen
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.
My favorite assignment...
This assignment was based on Parallel Lines and Transversals. And we had to show this with the example of streets in a town that we had created.

PE at home!?!
In Physical Education, we want our students to learn why they need to be physically active, especially now! We want our students to learn how they can be physically active, even with limited choices and equipment. With this knowledge, our hope is that our students will be empowered to be physically active and in addition learn new skills to be able to participate in new activities!

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 would have to be talking to my teachers with the last 5 minutes of class. The art based assigments were also really fun like the rap poems and the street project in math.
