Grade 8 Science Textbook

- Transformational geometry test tomorrow. Bring Mira, pencil, ruler, stickey notes and eraser. Very long test

- Start writing the second paragraph of the PEE essay. Use as few personal pronouns as possible

- Are students spending too much time on their digital devices? Learn to write second paragraph (12 to 15 sentences, explain why with examples)

- look at this example about school uniform

In my opinion, school uniforms stand as a symbol of the school, and they include plenty of benefits for both the students and the school. First of all, it is effortless to identify students from school on special occasions, for example, during a school field trip, the chance of getting lost would decrease since a group of people wearing uniforms would stand out of the crowd, so it’s not difficult to follow the group where you belong. Furthermore, if the students are in a threatening situation, such as a time when one or more intruders had broken into the school, it will be straightforward to distinguish between the two to prevent health hazards. In conclusion, uniforms are a unique symbol of the school. It will remain all the memories from the previous time will remain with your friends and the marks you got on the math tests. Who wouldn’t want to keep a uniform as a souvenir for your lovely childhood?

Sight: a sheet of fluffy snow toppling me; felt like a thick cotton blanket that cocooned my body with a few tiny openings to spot the cloudless blue sky
Smell: the smell of dirt and rotting grass brushed off my face when the blanket of snow covered my head. It was not pleasant, similar to a spring field when the farmers just put in the manure right after seeding
Sound: my fellow classmates giggled loudly as I became immobile and concealed by the thick layer of slush. I could hear my own breathing, as well as the pumping sound of my heart furiously struggled to get the last breath of fresh air. I thought I could hear the cold sweat dripping down my forehead as this ridiculous continued
Touch: since I wriggled to free my soul in freezing cold, I could barely feel my feet, as the sub-zero water slowly sipped into my boots. The numbness soon shot up my spine and tinkled every inch of my body
Taste: although this appeared to be a fresh blanket of snow, for whatever reason when my sweat and snow were mixed together, my lips nibbled on a few salty icicles, as if it were sprinkled onto me intensionally,.
