Homework: August 29th

Create three meaningful goals for this school year: one personal, one academic, and one reading. Describe what actions you will take to attain these goals and why you chose them. Please complete this assignment on a lined sheet of paper. 

Some reminders:

1. You should have all class materials for language arts by Tuesday, including an independent reading book. 

2. Your signed 8th grade contract is due Tuesday.

3. This weekend's homework is to go to your local library and get a library card, if you don't already have one. 

Interested in doing some extracurricular reading? Here's a great article about MLK Jr. and the 50th anniversary of his "I have a Dream" speech: http://www.timeforkids.com/news/honoring-kings-dream/100171  

Reading about Dr. King's goals for equality are a great way to get you thinking about your own. How will you contribute to making the world a better place?
