My niece is going to be done with 8th grade very soon here and I was sad to find out there is no 8th grade graduation?! In Cali we had 8th grade graduation :-\ guess MN does not have it.
Still giving my niece a graduation card with some spending money though, she studies hard and top of her class :)

Very true, and she deserves it, Thanks! :)

i didn't even get to go to 8th grade...skippe d it because 1) I was either too old or 2) i was too smart. I believe the later, because I have 2 girlfriends and they don't even know about the other. :D ;D
Puas yog mas? Well, happy belated 8th grade grad Tai Lau :love1: :occasion16: and LOL on the two girlfriends :knuppel2:
-
Nope just high school graduation.
-
believe it or not...they asked me why I should not have to complete 8th grade and my excuse was exactly as it is...I have 2 girlfriends, one in 7th grade (going to be 8th) and one in 8th grade (going to be 9th), besides I was to far advanced for the (8th grade) curricular studies and my extracurricula r activities of dibbing girl superseded those of the average students! :2funny: 8) 8)
Hmmm, player since born Tai Lau? Kudos for you to still be a player even now :P
Nope just high school graduation.
I wonder why though, 8th grade a a pretty big step, youths entering adult like status.
-
I guess MN schools don't see that way. I know they made a graduation thing for my Kindergarten and First Grader children last year. But I haven't seen any information about this year. Maybe they will.

I think the growth process for little kids are most important from P-12, very easily persuaded. We have to guide them well at least through those stages. Goals and appreciation through achievements make them more subjectable to excel.

Not until high school.
I didn't go to my college graduation. I feel like it's just a birthday party. I don't care.

Why didn't you go to your college graduation!?!? You should of gone :( You worked so hard for that piece of paper. At first I didn't want to go as well, but I thought about my hard work and my parents, I wanted to share the moment with them. So in the end I was glad I went.

Lol. Middle school graduation isn't much of an achievement. My school in Wisconsin didn't do it either.
-
Minor, kindergarden is a BIG deal :P it's the beginning of the rest of your life 8)

Preschool, K and 5th is just done in their own classroom. Here we do 8th graduation along with end of the school year award assembly.
I didnt go to my high school graduation. My husband told me he didn't go to his too. Undergraduate and graduate school he did but still has not celebrated that moment. I told my husband when he retired from 25th year of service from his first full time job to this day with the same employer. I don't care and I am doing him a party. He only has couple more years....... We won't get to enjoyed retirement as our 4 younger kids are still in middle and high school.
-
Oh you should! A lifetime of achievements all in one :) grand celebration to be proud of.

I went K-12 in WI and we also didn't do graduation ceremonies for 8th grade either. We just took a big field trip as a whole grade class to a theme park and we were all off to HS the following year.
This is how I remembered ending each year...
Grade school K - 5: End of school year Carnival (all grade levels)
Middle School 6th Grade: Science Museum
Middle School 7th Grade: Noah's Ark Waterpark
Middle School 8th Grade: Valley Fair Theme Park
HS 9th Grade: No celebration/ceremony
HS 10th Grade: No celebration/ceremony
HS 11th Grade: No celebration/ceremony
HS 12th Grade: Graduation and Senior Lock-in Night
I think in the midwest, we generally don't celebrate or do a "graduation ceremony" because in 8th grade you don't actually get an academic degree or diploma. I mean, when I walk up there, what are they going to give me?
-
Hehehe, a piece of paper, perhaps with "congrats" on it? In Cali, there is 8th grade grad ;D It's actually junior high there. A big step towards high school.
