https://padlet.com/grceshin/8fp1yn6lhy1sexko Welcome to Nicolas Junior High School! 🥳Junior high is different from Elementary school, so I had my previous students share their thoughts on how you can be successful in 7th grade! My ELA students are so kind, thoughtful, and wise. 🤓These Knights gave their best advice for you to read. Feel free to scroll through and look through the different tips, tricks, and advice - personally written by Nicolas Knights. They were once in your shoes too! 👟😊- Miss Shin (ELA 7&8 Teacher) en-us 2020-05-06 21:12:32 UTC 2024-06-18 23:39:18 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f4a1.png grceshin https://padlet.com/grceshin/8fp1yn6lhy1sexko/wish/555947968 You need to read. You need to try your best ask something if you have to and the most important thing never give up.]]> 2020-05-06 21:15:30 UTC https://padlet.com/grceshin/8fp1yn6lhy1sexko/wish/555947968 grceshin https://padlet.com/grceshin/8fp1yn6lhy1sexko/wish/555949098 I think my advice will be, for a future seventh grader is to not hang out with the wrong crowd. The reason why is because they could get into a lot of problems without wanting to. One thing I would want for a future seventh grader to know to be good and get good grades. I think the way they can prepare Is to study and show good responsibility and respect and love one another. This is my advice to a future seventh grader.]]> 2020-05-06 21:16:09 UTC https://padlet.com/grceshin/8fp1yn6lhy1sexko/wish/555949098 grceshin https://padlet.com/grceshin/8fp1yn6lhy1sexko/wish/555949641 I would say always pay attention because it's very important. teacher will tell you what to do but if you don't pay attention you wont know what to do. its challenging at first but you will get the just of it. just know how to pay attention.

The first thing I going to tell futures 7th is to be prepared because many of their friends from elementary going to change. Second thing I’m going to tell future 7th is to learn because they are not going to learn the same thing from elementary. And the last thing I would tell them is that the classes are not going to be the same because you are not going to have the same teacher for every class.]]> 2020-05-06 21:17:26 UTC https://padlet.com/grceshin/8fp1yn6lhy1sexko/wish/555951102 grceshin https://padlet.com/grceshin/8fp1yn6lhy1sexko/wish/555952046 They  need to know that being a 7th grader is awesome, you could get to know more friends and teachers. New activities, very different from their elementary school. They become a teenager now, and they could enjoy their teenage life in Nicholas Jr High, and they should not worry that they never can’t do it, being a 7th grader is very new and fun, every classes are pretty fun and challenging. And always be prepare that work hard for yourself and keep trying, at this school, we try hard to success, and keep going for our future together.]]> 2020-05-06 21:18:06 UTC https://padlet.com/grceshin/8fp1yn6lhy1sexko/wish/555952046 grceshin https://padlet.com/grceshin/8fp1yn6lhy1sexko/wish/555952563 I would tell them to try and not give up even though it might be hard at first you will get use to it. I would say that because it was hard when I first got to Nicolas but at the end of the month it got easier for me to handle it. Being a 7th grader can start off hard when you get use to it you know it not that hard lots of the teachers there are nice it really was a help to my 7th grade year. They can prepare by talking to some that goes to Nicholas to help them out in not being scared to go for it. The last thing is that being a 7th grader was the best I got to met so many nice teacher that helped me get through the year I cannot wait till they do the same with the new incoming 7th graders.

Also put on deodorant because you do not want the teacher to faint when you walk past them do you. The next thing I want you to know is that all teachers are nice even if they raise their voice at you don’t disrespect them they don’t deserve that, in fact they  deserve respect and much more. The last thing I want to say is don’t hang out with the wrong people choose wisely because the people you hang out with might get you yes you in trouble. They might act nice to you but they are definitely not nice to the other people. 👋]]> 2020-05-06 21:18:34 UTC https://padlet.com/grceshin/8fp1yn6lhy1sexko/wish/555952796 grceshin https://padlet.com/grceshin/8fp1yn6lhy1sexko/wish/555955748 Have fun enjoy 7th grade make memories with your friends especially if you have some in 8th grade enjoy it while it lasts cause time goes by fast and yeah.]]> 2020-05-06 21:20:25 UTC https://padlet.com/grceshin/8fp1yn6lhy1sexko/wish/555955748 grceshin https://padlet.com/grceshin/8fp1yn6lhy1sexko/wish/555956006 Listen to your teachers and do your homework, you wouldn’t wanna fall behind in 7th and get those extra classes for 8th grade when you can go have lunch with your friends.]]> 2020-05-06 21:20:35 UTC https://padlet.com/grceshin/8fp1yn6lhy1sexko/wish/555956006 grceshin https://padlet.com/grceshin/8fp1yn6lhy1sexko/wish/555956233 I will say just do your work don’t be late to class and participate and listen to the teacher everything will be easier.]]> 2020-05-06 21:20:44 UTC https://padlet.com/grceshin/8fp1yn6lhy1sexko/wish/555956233 grceshin https://padlet.com/grceshin/8fp1yn6lhy1sexko/wish/555956853 My advice to future 7th graders is even though people say that middle school doesn’t affect your grades for college or high school it does so I highly suggest doing your work. Also don’t hold back, if you have ideas that you think are great or questions don’t be scared or shy to say or ask them because later you might regret it. Middle school can come with a lot of drama but your main priority should be your grades. Don’t take your grades, teachers, and electives for granted because it isn’t always going to be the same. Your electives can either stay or go so i suggest you try your hardest because if you think that you’re good because you have both electives don’t forget they can go away but if you have zero or one try super hard because your hard work will pay off and have you will earn them!

I would want them to know it is a kinda big transition from 6th grade to 7th because you have to rotate from class and remember all of your teachers names. They could prepare themselves by starting off with a good start and you would have more time to adapt and even go somewhere with your friends.]]> 2020-05-06 21:21:34 UTC https://padlet.com/grceshin/8fp1yn6lhy1sexko/wish/555957550 grceshin https://padlet.com/grceshin/8fp1yn6lhy1sexko/wish/555957833 My advice to the future 7th graders would to join mix classes with 7th and 8th graders. So you get to know more people. Also turn in everything on time. Just be nice to people. The last thing is to enjoy the time you have in middle school.]]> 2020-05-06 21:21:44 UTC https://padlet.com/grceshin/8fp1yn6lhy1sexko/wish/555957833 grceshin https://padlet.com/grceshin/8fp1yn6lhy1sexko/wish/555958099 I would tell them to not stress.

Also I would want them to know that you shouldn’t ever be shy and at least try to have friends because you wouldn’t want to be lonely.]]> 2020-05-06 21:22:07 UTC https://padlet.com/grceshin/8fp1yn6lhy1sexko/wish/555958534 grceshin https://padlet.com/grceshin/8fp1yn6lhy1sexko/wish/555959225 2020-05-06 21:22:27 UTC https://padlet.com/grceshin/8fp1yn6lhy1sexko/wish/555959225 grceshin https://padlet.com/grceshin/8fp1yn6lhy1sexko/wish/555959449 I would tell them to push themselves to their limits.They would need their motivation for the obstacles ahead.I will teach them the way of the 7th grader.they will need to follow C.O.D.E. under all circumstances.

I would say this because you will make friends who will love you the way you are.

You should get ready to do your best on anything and just to be calm about everything coming.]]> 2020-05-06 22:00:26 UTC https://padlet.com/grceshin/8fp1yn6lhy1sexko/wish/556013448 grceshin https://padlet.com/grceshin/8fp1yn6lhy1sexko/wish/556014826 Some advice that I will give the future 7 graders is to do their work.

Another important thing is don’t be tardy to your classes. Also don’t mess around in class, if you do then you won’t get your work done. Try to join in sports team or dance or any activities.]]> 2020-05-06 22:06:15 UTC https://padlet.com/grceshin/8fp1yn6lhy1sexko/wish/556020639 grceshin https://padlet.com/grceshin/8fp1yn6lhy1sexko/wish/556022632 2020-05-06 22:07:55 UTC https://padlet.com/grceshin/8fp1yn6lhy1sexko/wish/556022632 grceshin https://padlet.com/grceshin/8fp1yn6lhy1sexko/wish/556022977 If I could give one piece of advice to a future 7th grader then I would say to always get your work done.

Also stick with people you know and trust. They can prepare themselves by when they go to there first period and get your schedule and map of the school to follow the map to go to your classes. Also if you forget something for another class you are label to get it. And it’s ok if you walk in to another class on accident. 😊 ]]> 2020-05-06 22:10:12 UTC https://padlet.com/grceshin/8fp1yn6lhy1sexko/wish/556025337 grceshin https://padlet.com/grceshin/8fp1yn6lhy1sexko/wish/556025915 Hey future 7th grader,

I heard you will be entering 7th grade this year so I will be an 8th grader so I wanted to give you some advice on how to have an amazing 7th grade year. First of all, you should study so that you can get good grades and prevent failing classes. Next, there will be many distractions like boyfriends/girlfriends or sports but you have to know that there is a time and place for everything. Last but not least, always listen to your teachers/parent because they know what's best for you.

Do not be afraid to try new things. If you need help do not be afraid to ask your teacher. Do not lose your card for lunch and pay attention in class.

First it's hard remembering your classes but then it gets easy. I want to tell them that being a 7th grader is a lot different than being in 6th grade. In 7th we have a lot more responsibility for turning in our stuff and also we always have to be prepared in class or sometimes we can get in trouble for not being prepared. They can prepare themselves by getting or using a planner, the reminder app on the iPad or something to write your homework down to remember to do it.]]> 2020-05-07 20:59:26 UTC https://padlet.com/grceshin/8fp1yn6lhy1sexko/wish/558539551 grceshin https://padlet.com/grceshin/8fp1yn6lhy1sexko/wish/558541559 My advice to new 7th graders.

This is some of my advice to 7th graders.]]> 2020-05-07 21:00:48 UTC https://padlet.com/grceshin/8fp1yn6lhy1sexko/wish/558541559 grceshin https://padlet.com/grceshin/8fp1yn6lhy1sexko/wish/558542033 My advice would be to try your hardest. The reason why is try you need to try your hardest because if you fail your classes then life will get harder. Always try to do your best and your hardest in school. Once you start to fail it’s hard to get out of failing. Keep on trying and you will do good.]]> 2020-05-07 21:01:06 UTC https://padlet.com/grceshin/8fp1yn6lhy1sexko/wish/558542033 grceshin https://padlet.com/grceshin/8fp1yn6lhy1sexko/wish/558542526 One piece of advice I would give a future 7th grader would be to focus and do your best. Because the work you put in, shows were you're at for 8th. They can prepare themselves by reading books over the summer or math equations. Becoming a 7th means that you're growing up, you're no longer a kid. You're somebody who has other people looking up to you, because you're a role model.]]> 2020-05-07 21:01:26 UTC https://padlet.com/grceshin/8fp1yn6lhy1sexko/wish/558542526 grceshin https://padlet.com/grceshin/8fp1yn6lhy1sexko/wish/558548898 i would say choose your friends wisely because you never know what they can do to you. Also try your best because it is easy to fail a class. 7th grade is nothing like 6th grade so get ready. Have fun during middle school. Lastly never give up.]]> 2020-05-07 21:05:37 UTC https://padlet.com/grceshin/8fp1yn6lhy1sexko/wish/558548898 grceshin https://padlet.com/grceshin/8fp1yn6lhy1sexko/wish/558550088 2020-05-07 21:06:26 UTC https://padlet.com/grceshin/8fp1yn6lhy1sexko/wish/558550088 grceshin https://padlet.com/grceshin/8fp1yn6lhy1sexko/wish/558550458 Some advice I would tell them is that to make sure you turn in your work because that can stop you from doing a lot of fun activities. Also don’t just be so stuck on school work also let loose and have fun! I actually loved 7th grade but I could only enjoy half of it hopefully they can enjoy all of it.
