The first 9 weeks of the 8th grade have come and gone.
Today many of my students enjoyed a celebration in their honor; the celebration of their academic achievements. Many of these youngsters worked hard in order to achieve this recognition while others came skating in on two tires at the bottom of the ninth. My hope for these youngsters is one day they realize you cannot keep putting off today what you think you can finish tomorrow.
Those of us who are grown recognize the value of time and time management. It is my hope that the next nine weeks will be one where my youngsters begin to value this too. I understand that many of them have heavy schedules with extra-curricular activities, however it is my job to help them strive for excellence academically.
Until next time.........
