8th grade schedule questions!?

Today was my first day of 8th grade!

Last year I took Algebra 1, while all of my peers took pre-algebra(honors) or regular 7th grade math.

This year I'm taking Honora Geometry and also Honors Bio, while all of my peers have either algebra 1 or pre algebra, and regular science. I feel odd telling them I'm in the classes because I don't want to come off as bragging, but at the same time I want them to know so it's not awkward when they ask what homework there is and I don't know. Help! Any tips?

    First off, congrats on being ahead in the classes you're taking, that's awesome! :) I've been in a situation like that too, to avoid sounding like you're bragging, don't say the full title of the class. Instead of geometry, just say math. When your friends ask what the assignment is, just remind them you're not in the same class. That's what I did and it seemed to work pretty well! Good luck with the rest of your year!

    Just tell them that your in that class but dont try to sound like your bragging. Like say "I dont have Algebra 1 with you, sorry, then tell them you have that class. Saying it that way will make it seem like your just telling them, not bragging. Hope I helped! (: Please answer mine? (:
