Hey everyone!!!
Just a reminder of what we discussed today... remember to make good choices for yourself and don't let others make those choices or decisions for you! Every action we take has a re-action to it... and in some instances even consequences. I believe that everything happens for a reason and that life is always giving us examples of how to be better people... and always giving us lessons to help us grow as individuals.
Even if you fall down or make a mistake.... it's important to get back up and learn from the mistake that you have made. Making a mistake is okay, but repeating the same mistake is foolish. You are all great kids and I know that you will make mistakes as you go along in life... but remember that making mistakes is part of being human so long as we learn from them.
I know that you all have the intentions and aspirations of being good people... so let's see your best qualities shine through 8C!!!
HOMEWORK/REMINDERS:
1) MATH --> Mini-Test tomorrow (properties of lines + angles) & EXAM in FEB (more info to come)
2) LA --> BOOK REPORT (COMING SOON) - finish novels
3) SCIENCE --> Project Presentations due tomorrow
Enjoy the night 8C!!! You too Barbaloot!!!!!
Hey Mr. D!!! (i'll try really hard to not write a paragraph)
ReplyDeleteI just want to say thank you:) There is no teacher like you. You are probably one of the only teachers who cares a lot about his students and always wants what's best for them. This lesson you gave us isn't like a quote for the day- where you remember it for one day but forget it the next. We will always remember everything you teach us not just because you're an excellent teacher but because people seem to always remember things better when they are said by someone who cares about them and someone who inspires and is a role maodel to everyone and that's you. I bet you that in a few years if ever ask any of us what the lesson was on Jan.16 2013? We will know the answer. By the way, you're right that everything happens for a reason because if it didn't we probably wouldn't be who we are today. We all find our ways from the past. From those little mistakes to those big life changing moments. We learn from all of them and we become stronger and better people. Our future is in our hands- not others. Like you said it is our choice. If we want to make the best of it we can but if we don't then we will probably regret it. You don't identify someone by their skills, you identify someone from how they act. - To anyone who reads this.. Your true identity is in your actions:)

PS. Looks like I'll have to try harder:) hehehe!
