"Remember that ANY failure is just an opportunity to become a better you. "
- Mrs. Burciaga
This felt like an extraordinary year!
Everyone seemed to embrace so much of what we read, and that's the best I can ask for every year - students reading novels and stories and finding enjoyment or connection.
It has truly been a privilege not just teaching this year's 8th graders but also simply spending time with them. They're kind. They're spirited. And they're just such good people.
In the this last week, I hope students and I share laughs and memories of this past school year.
To all 8th graders and their families ... have a fantastic summer break! Stay safe and PLEASE keep in touch!
MATH
"Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out." -R. Collier
Our students have worked so hard this year and I am proud of each and every one of them. They have expanded their capacity for problem solving and are ready to continue their education journey in high school and go out to make the world a better place!
Algebra: Final Project: Desmos Art is due Wednesday May 29 and will count for the semester exam, which is 20% of the semester grade.
Geometry: Final exam is Tuesday and Wednesday May 28 and 29. This will count as 20% of the semester grade.
Tutoring: Thursday before and after school or by appointment. mlund@neisd.net
SCIENCE
Science may set limits to knowledge, but should not set limits to imagination.
-Bertrand Russell
As we say goodbye to another incredible year, I want to remind you that you all are awesome! There have been so many memories made, many fun times, and challenging times. We will miss you all and hope that y'all come visit us throughout your high school years.
Here's to the final days of school! Enjoy your summer, make memories, and most importantly recharge! Have a safe and enjoyable summer break!

Well, you did it! Your last week with an 8th grader! You get 73 precious days of Summer with them before they're off to high school. Thank you for sharing your historian with me! Each and everyone of them are spectacular and wonderful in their own way and I am so glad to have met all of them. If I keep writing about this I'm going to start crying!!! ANYWAY, this week we'll just be wrapping up our loose ends, exchanging tearful good-byes, and enjoying our last week together.
P.S.
I love my 8th Graders!!!
