Beginning of the Year Reflections

The little time that we have had in school I have enjoyed, learned and I am looking forward to lots of things in the 8th Grade. I have really enjoyed the community that we have made as a grade and I have become way more comfortable and I know way more people than I used to. I have learned lots of things but one thing that has stuck out to me was how I never knew the geography of Israel and I’ve never focused on how Israel is surrounded by these powerful countries and leaders. I am deeply looking forward to new friendships and doing fun things as a whole grade.

Paper Boat

 .

In Science class we were assigned to make a boat out of certain materials. We were graded on if our boat looked like a boat and had a competitive time. Our boat was a very simple design but it worked pretty well. Our times were around 10 seconds, which was a competitive time for our class. Other designs were too top heavy and fell over so there design was not an effective design.
