For the assignment you will be writing a letter to yourself at the end of the school year. So you are congratulating your future self on the great year you had, as well as the goals you accomplished. This way, when you read it at the end of the year, you will be able to reflect on your last year at Thorp.
I know that sounds a bit confusing, but your letter may look something like this:

Dear Ms. Newby,

I know this year was tough, but you made it! You achieved your goal of teaching reading and writing. You were able to make new friends....

You can go on to talk about specific goals you hope to achieve in different classes, sports, social life, etc. You can talk about your hopes for a job or for high school. You can talk about possible 8th grade trips you hope to go on, or anything that you hope to accomplish this upcoming year. Also, the letter only needs to be about 3/4 of a page long with 11 pt. Arial font and double spacing. 

You will receive 10 points if you turn in a thoughtful, completed letter and drawing of how you would like your year to go.
Let me know if you have any further questions!
