ADVICE FROM A 6TH GRADER by Grace Tran

Sixth Grade Facts

 

          I'm in sixth grade. Sixth grade is kind of fun. Your first year in middle school isn't really that bad. I mean, you get to walk around the halls by yourself and not with a teacher. This year, we studied math, English, humanities, Chinese social studies, and science. (WOW! I know! That's a lot of subjects to take!)

          For middle school, you will need a flash drive, a little pack of tissue paper, hand sanitizer, pens, pencils, highlighters, notebooks, a binder, a three-hole puncher, folders, and post-its. In order to be successful in sixth grade, you have to study all the subjects. (Yes, all the subjects). That's what sixth grade is all about, studying and being independent. Being independent rocks! You don't need a teacher for every single little thing.

          However, there is something I would like to warn you about sixth grade. You see, the problem in sixth grade is that you have a large bundle of tests every two-three weeks. Also, there is a 70% chance you can fail a pop quiz if you don't study every day. Sixth grade has a lot of pop quizzes. Label your notebooks and always put your heading on homework assignments or else, the teachers won't accept your work. Oh, and one more thing, do NOT try to skip classes! If you do, you won't know what your class is doing, and you'll have to make up the work next time.

          My advice for sixth grade is. . . try to relax. If you have a ton of homework, don't freak out!!! Study! And last of all, have fun!!! Sixth grade is not that bad. You just have to relax and try to have fun!!!! Sixth grade is a BLAST, but it's no joke.
