Welcome To Eighth Grade Language Arts,
Class Motto: The 3 R's--
"Respect, Responsibility, Reasoning"
Respect yourself first by being the best you can be. Learn to like yourself, and others will like you too. Respect others including your family, fellow students, and adults...especially your teacher!
Responsibility for yourself, your work, your supplies, your assignments, and projects is now "your" job. Do it well! Also, be responsible for others who are less fortunate or who have a problem that you can help with. That will make you a better person.
Reasoning is the ability to see things that you do, right through to the consequences, good or bad. "Think" any situation through before you act on it. That's the reasonable thing to do!
