Introduction:
Moving on from 4th to 5th is pretty exciting, but not as moving into 6th grade and going into 7th. The purpose of this article is to share experiences had by students from 6th and 7th grade moving into middle school and to help future students assimilate into middle school.
Likes/Dislikes About 6th Grade:
Moving on to a new grade is a lot of pressure on someone. We asked sixth grader Camoran Jasmine which one he enjoys the most, fifth or sixth grade. Jasmine said, “I will say sixth grade because there are more kids that I know and it is another level for me.”
Advice for Future Students:
When people are just starting out middle school or any new grade, they don’t really know what to do. These are the basic things that people need to know when entering a new grade level or school. Work hard, don’t slack, and don’t get into fights, respect everyone even if they don’t respect you and study/do homework when required, don’t listen to negative comments to others and just keep doing what you need to do.
The 7th graders part:
Moving from 6th to 7th grade is a big change. Your classes are harder, different schedules, and maybe you might think it’s all too much. We interviewed Josiah Melgare about this and he said, “Am not really the only thing that was different is that history was last year but this year is called civics.”
Likes/Dislikes about 7th Grade:
Entering the school once again knowing your a seventh grader some of your feelings could change drastically making you feel different as if your wiser, or just makes you feel better in general in this interview with Josiah he spoke about how he felt and said, “I feel happy that I am a seventh grader and I feel like seventh grade is fun and sometimes boring.”
Advice for Future Students:
Sometimes when we grow older and pass time there’s something that you wished you knew earlier, so we asked him what is some piece of advice he said, is to have a positive mind set and all the time keep working hard on stuff that you don’t know and ask some question when you don’t know something to the teacher, a parent, a friend, and any adults.
