Starting middle school is different from elementary school, but very fun. First of all, you have more freedom in Middle school which is neat, but with that comes way more responsibility. In 8th grade, I started a binder with a divider folder in it for each class. This is great for staying organized and being able to flip through notes quickly. Also, stay on top of your work!  You do not need your whole life to be school, but make sure to not get behind on work. Finally, ask teachers for help when needed, and take advantage of IF and early morning times. 
You are going to be great!]]> 2022-02-03 15:41:05 UTC https://padlet.com/monaereed/rising6thgrade2022/wish/2027754244 Middle School Prep! https://padlet.com/monaereed/rising6thgrade2022/wish/2027891675 1. The first thing you should do in order to prepare for middle school is buy an agenda! This will keep your classes, and assignments in an orderly form. 

2. My favorite thing about Middle School is making new friends. 

3. One thing I wish I knew before entering Middle School is you learn a lot, not just academically but also socially. ]]> 2022-02-03 16:40:22 UTC https://padlet.com/monaereed/rising6thgrade2022/wish/2027891675 https://padlet.com/monaereed/rising6thgrade2022/wish/2029591516 My favorite part about being a sixth grader is having so many teachers, making new friends, and being able to choose your connections.]]> 2022-02-04 15:06:41 UTC https://padlet.com/monaereed/rising6thgrade2022/wish/2029591516 Middle School preperation https://padlet.com/monaereed/rising6thgrade2022/wish/2033595878  1. Make sure you get all your work done on time and make sure your not super ate on assignments.
2. Being able to be with my friends.
3. How much work and due dates would be so much stricter than elementary school. Especially Expectations on how teachers expect for everything to be done in a specific way and how to spread your calender to make sure your assignments are done.  ]]> 2022-02-07 17:06:45 UTC https://padlet.com/monaereed/rising6thgrade2022/wish/2033595878 middle school prep https://padlet.com/monaereed/rising6thgrade2022/wish/2035399449 One thing that I wished I knew was that your grades start over every semester so you can retry if you did not get really good grades that semester. ]]> 2022-02-08 13:07:43 UTC https://padlet.com/monaereed/rising6thgrade2022/wish/2035399449 Hailey Jinks https://padlet.com/monaereed/rising6thgrade2022/wish/2038308794 Hey! Im an 8th grader here at Oms! Middle school is a little different from elementary school but theres some many new and exicting oppurtunities here! When i first transitioned to middle school I was very nervous and stressed but after a few days I was settled. Theres no need to be nervous or scared because middle school is great! It just takes a little time to adjust. My biggest tip would be to buy a few extra notebooks and folders to keep handy! ]]> 2022-02-09 16:27:27 UTC https://padlet.com/monaereed/rising6thgrade2022/wish/2038308794 My advice to rising 6th graders is to be prepared! It's a lot different than elementary school. So many things are different in a good way! More classes, more teachers, more friends! Always stay on top of your assignments - they can add up fast but if you do them when they are assigned, you will be just fine! You are going to love it! https://padlet.com/monaereed/rising6thgrade2022/wish/2041299023 2022-02-10 22:39:51 UTC https://padlet.com/monaereed/rising6thgrade2022/wish/2041299023 Anthony Coral https://padlet.com/monaereed/rising6thgrade2022/wish/2041528981 1. To prepare, I strongly recommend getting the Infinite Campus App on your phone. It tells you as soon as your teachers put in grades and it helps make sure you stay on top of work.

2. My favorite part of middle school is definitely how I found my "people." In middle school, everyone usually splits into their groups/cliques based on the classes and teams they're put in. 

3. One thing I wish I knew before entering middle school was how many classes students have to take. To let you know, we have 7 periods a day (4 academics, 2 connections, and IF), so I recommend using your time wisely. Homeroom and IF are great for studying and getting homework done.

Hope you all have a great 6th-grade year in August!]]> 2022-02-11 02:00:11 UTC https://padlet.com/monaereed/rising6thgrade2022/wish/2041528981
