A few words from your fantastic teacher Ms. Harris:
I can not speak more highly of the Ferlin 8th grade students. They are absolutely wonderful human beings who will be greatly missed next year. Here are just a few of the reasons why they are so AWESOME!
Nehchal knows more about cars than I’ll ever know. He has become our go-to tech guy and culprit for spare motors and batteries left out in the room. He’s also mastered the art of drawing ducks… On my board, door decorations, homework, you name it.
I’m going to talk about Paige and Chloe together, because let’s be honest… when are they not together? Paige and Chloe are two of the most dedicated students I’ve ever met. Their attention to detail is beyond impressive. They soak in information like sponges.
Paige is an excellent teacher and is always willing to help her classmates in need. She’s incredibly kind and patient. She’s also very competitive, and shouldn’t be underestimated in a game of cards!
Chloé never fails to carry herself with confidence and grace. She could be thrown into a pit of snakes, and still remain calm, cool, and collected. She’s our go-to for French words and makes playing volleyball look a little too easy.
Avery is a fantastic storyteller and an amazing artist. She is the person to call if you want to sit back with a cup of tea and listen to a long, imaginative story accompanied by sketches that so accurately capture human emotions.
Fiona radiates joy and positivity. She has an energy that is unstoppable. She’s your go-to person if you need help organizing, or if you need a pick-me-up “Hey There Delilah, ” karaoke session. If I asked Fiona to make me a dress using only my classroom items, she could do it… she is incredibly crafty and up for any challenge.
Olivia is incredibly creative, and thoughtful. Out of nowhere, Olivia will say the most profound, and funny things, leaving you pensive and laughing. She’s a voracious reader and writer, and is a natural when it comes to Biology!
Jessie joined us halfway through this year, but she melded with the group instantly. She has a great sense of humor, is incredibly sarcastic, and is fiercely loyal to her friends. She’ll most definitely make you laugh, and sweat if you get into a debate with her.
Amber is extremely compassionate and kind. She’s the only student to ever ask me if she could wash the squid dissection dishes because she just loved dissections so much. She’s an incredible assistant, and definitely, the person to call if you want to sit down and have a long, thoughtful chat about life.
