Blog Post of the Week

 Congrats to Jett S. of B Block for earning Blog Post of the Week! His well-written piece advising 6th graders on how to be successful in 7th grade was organized and informative. Check it out below!

 

"Seventh grade seems very difficult but when you get used to it its not that bad. Here is some advice to survive the seventh grade. Firstly, You MUST do your homework. If you are in Beauport House you won't have much homework in ELA, Science, and Social Studies (other than a blog post in ELA). On the other hand you will have math homework everyday. Most homework isn't hard all you have to do is use your notes and pay attention in class. Also remember to write your homework down in your assignment notebook. Secondly, You have to be prepared. Being prepared means having a pencil every day, bringing you textbooks to class and having your binder. If you are missing one of these it is almost impossible to function and get your work done. Some teachers sell pencils for $0.25 and some let you give them your binder/book any thing you can't leave without and lend you a pencil. But that is for emergencies only don't let that make you think you don't have to bring one. Thirdly, you shouldn't chew gum. A couple teachers don't care unless you are chewing very noticeably. But in other teachers classes they are very strict about gum chewing. If they find you chewing gum you will get lunch detention. To avoid problems just don't chew gum in the first place. Fourthly, don't take advantage of substitutes. If you thing you can fool around when subs are in place of you real teacher you are wrong. They will report to your teacher and you will get in trouble. Some people think that they don't have to do work when there is a sub you do. The work is NOT fun its just busy work. Don't worry hopefully your teacher will only be out for one day. Lastly, Specialist Classes are not a time to fool around. Health, art, spanish, and pro forming arts are real classes, you get homework, you get a grade and you have to do work. Clearly, these steps will help you be successful in seventh grade."
