Recommended: Importance of humor in life

Dear 8th grader,
When I started the 8th grade I was quite nervous and anxious at the same time. To be honest it's not that different from 7th grade. Even though most of your teachers probably tell you it more work and the teachers are really strictked it really no different than seventh grade. As long as you do your work and turn it in on time you will have a good year. If you're on team A you will have Mr. Dunford who teaches language arts, Mrs. Merritt she is the math teacher, Mrs. Lewis is social studies, Mrs. Hall teaches science, and Mr. Watson he teaches career literacy. The wonderful thing about having all of these teachers is that they have a good since of humor.
To start off, with Mrs. Merritt she's the math teacher. You will learn some crazy things with her, and do some interesting math projects. Just a few weeks ago she had us take a roll of toilet Paper, and took off every square to stack it up into a rectangle just to calculate …show more content…

Watson is the career literacy teacher. He is one of the new teachers at Barboursville, but overall he was a good teacher. I had Mr. Watson third period and our class was lit there was only seven kids in there including me, but Over the course of the year you will learn a ton about every career out there. I'm going to warn you all now if you get him started on a topic that’s stupid, or he knows the correct answer to why that his or what happened he will lecture about it and he will prove you wrong. We did a bunch of projects from making tiny houses to playing around with Minecraft for our construction unit. You will be doing a lot of speeches mainly informational speeches but it won't be too bad. He is quite the character though. One time he came to school dressed up in all of his harry potter stuff, and wore it all day while drinking out of his Hogwarts cup. Also he came dressed up as Edgar Allan Poe, and if you don't know who that is you will by the end of his class. He is also probably the biggest nerd you’ve ever

    Ask yourself, how was your 8th grade year… Was it good, bad, fun, or stressful? Well most of my 8th grade year was bad but the ending actually turned out good. The start of my year was exciting, but that was just the beginning. As time went on and the work started to come in, that's when things turned south for me.

  • High School Transition Essay

    It's quite difficult transitioning from being the biggest to back to being the smallest. In eighth grade, you've finally become comfortable with your peers, the school, and even the teachers, and it's gone in a matter of a couple months. My perception of high school was extremely terrifying because it was an academy where I didn't really know anyone because it was slightly far. It seems so easy when you already know someone at the school because they can help guide you around, but to a zoning that's a twenty minute distance it's difficult. I expected the least, honestly. I knew that the halls would be packed, getting to classes would be confusing, and teachers would continuously give homework, but no one said it would be so much more. Moving

  • My First Week Of High School

    516 Words  | 2 Pages

    Most freshmen like me that enter the school are scared. I think the first week of the school is the easiest since there would not be a lot of homework and what you need to do is to listen to what you need for the class and know other people well in the class. But I am wrong, as soon as you get seated on your assigned seat, new teachers start to introduce themselves and start giving tons of homework. As the bell rings, I start rushing to my next class hoping that I wouldn’t be late. The first day of school is always the hardest since you don’t have any new friends and you have to sit in the cafeteria alone when it is lunch time. As day starting to go by, I found myself getting earlier and earlier to class. Talking starts to increas...

    “Teaching is often a difficult process, but the end result is very rewarding. Watching a child develop confidence and seeing a student progress in their studies is a very exciting process. Teaching young children is especially great because it is setting a foundation for life-long learning.”(Chronicle guidance publications). What is teaching? A teacher is a person who provides education for pupils (children), or students (adults) using lectures, audiovisual aids, demonstrations, and computers to present academic, social, and motor skills. Teachers can also teach foreign languages, art, kids with special needs, and P.E. Teaching has changed a lot compared to the traditional methods of just lectures and textbooks.
