Want to know some tricks for 6th grade?
Welcome Sixlet's!
Your sixth grade year will be exciting and most importantly fun! You will learn many things as well as meet many new people. You may be worried, trust me I was after the first day I felt comfortable. Don't be afraid to be you, being yourself is the best way to meet and hopefully become friends with new people! If you are afraid also about not one teacher, but seven don't worry they will all love and support you.You have absolutely nothing to worry about!
Schedules!
You may be overwhelmed about the fact you ONLY have 3 minutes to get to class, it really is like the perfect amount of time if not to much. You have the perfect amount of time to go to your locker then to class. I am not saying you should crawl like a snail I am saying walk at a normal pace. Another tip, you really don't need to worry about getting run over in the hall you will be fine! Your schedule will change in the second semester, your WHOLE schedule will not change just your specials. I know that was something I worried about!
Classroom Behavior
Ready
Always have more than one pencil with you in every class. Turn in your work on its due date. Make sure you have all of your supplies in the room before the bell rings. Be ready to learn new fun things! Always have extra work form other classes with you to work on, so you can work on it once your other class work is done.
Respectful
In the classroom you need to respect others, Treat Others The Way You Want To Be Treated! Don't disrespect a teacher, respect other people's stuff. Also most importantly respect yourself.
Responsible
Be responsible don't lie about why you didn't get an assignment down. Don't let other people do your work, be responsible and do your own. Now I am not saying you can't ask for help just don't use the work. Be responsible for everything you do!
Strike System
What is the "Strike System?"
The "Strike System" is a new system the 6th graders are starting, anytime you do something bad you get a strike. Let's say you get 7 that is a call home to parents, now now now I assure you you don't want to know what happens if you get 10. If you get 10 strikes you have to miss out the "Sixth Grade Olympics" only the best day EVER! If you get more than 10 strikes, so say I were to have 12 since you have 2 more strikes then 10 that is how many strikes you will start off with in 7th grade. Let's NOT get strikes.
Locker
Your locker may seem intimidating, but once you get the hang of it it is really fun! You should probably go to your locker of course in the morning to put your stuff away, then after second period go to your locker again to if you need to put stuff away and grab stuff for next hour and you lunchbox if you have one. After lunch you will have your second special, then after that special go to your locker to put your lunchbox away, the last time you should go to your locker is the end of your day to grab your backpack etc.
