Water is the healthiest drink for you. Our bodies are made of 80% water, which means that we need to stay hydrated.

It’s a free resource at any public place you go! If you really care about your physical, mental, and emotional health, then you’ll start to drink more water everyday!

As your ELAR teacher, I highly recommend taking everything we do in class seriously. If you don't, you probably will end up in summer school. Summer school sucks. You lose time out of your summer, and it puts you at the risk of repeating 8th grade and not moving on to high school with your friends. As someone who's taught 8th grade and summer school before, I think you should take this class very seriously.
