This is the home for 8th grade classes on this Wiki. This is the page where announcements, changes to assignments, presentations, worksheets, links, etc., will be placed. Simply click on the link to the content you wish to look at. This is also where you will be submitting certain assignments.

Announcements: Once you have created a page for yourself. I want you to personalize it with an uplifting quote or saying. It does not have to be about school, but it does have to be motivational. Do not use any of the quotes posted around the classroom. Don't just pick the first one you see, pick one you like. There is a chance you will be using the quote for an assignment later on.
