Are you ready to go to the next grade level?

What experiences did you have this year that got you ready to go to the next grade level? For example: what did you learn, what activities did you do, did anyone talk to you about what next year will be like?

  2. School helps to make you more mature and be ready to keep up with the kinds of real, unreasonable, pointless things you have to do later on in life. Often your boss may tell you to do something that is unintelligent, but if you want to keep your job, you'll do it. It's the same way with school; if you want to pass, you're going to have to do what your teacher says.

  3. Something that got me ready for the next level was all of the AP test preperations. It allowed teachers to challenge and teach me more difficult things that i need to learn for the next year and to pass the ap test.

  4. Those AP classes certainly will keep you busy-- do you have any grade level classes? Do you get homework in your grade level classes?

  11. Ouch! Those dental visits can be hard!
    New challenges are always hard, but life will be full of challenges. It sounds like most of you agree that, although you are nervous about middle school, you are up for the challenge. This is great!!!!!!

  20. I've had many experiences concerning high school. For example, everything we learned in our classes get us educated and let us know what to expect in high school.

    ReplyDelete
  21. I believe that our teachers have prepared us to go on and be ready for the next grade level. We talked to former eight graders that came to our school and told us what we had to be ready for the next year.

  22. Yes, actually I am ready to go to 9th grade, because being in sports made me more preparied for high school sports. Also my sisiter has always been talking to me about high school, and the classes I have to tke to take to get my credits. Besides I have Pre Ap classes and i'm already learning about 9th grade Math, Science, History, and Language Arts.

  23. Yes I'm kind if ready to go to the next grade level.Some experience I had was my reading.Some teachers told me that the next grade level will be hard and to study more so I can be ready.Besides help from my Pre-Ap classes made me more prepared.

  24. Yes, I do think that Im ready to go to the next grade level. I believe that I have worked hard enough, and that I have the knowledge to go on with the nest grade level. Another reason why I think Im ready is because I am a really involved person because Im in band, choir, and I've played played all the sports. I also feel prepared because all my classes are Pre-Ap. My sister is somebody I talk to about my next grade level and tells me I can be more well prepared for high school.

  25. The experiences that i have had this year that prepared me to go to the next grade level were that i learned to be responsible by turning in my paperwork early, and not getting introuble.It also helped me by doing sports in school to make new friends.People tell me that high school is going to be the best years of my life,that we're going to have more opportunities in life to get me prepared for what comes ahead.

  27. i had lots of expirences this year, like when our assistant principal talks to us about our future. We went to Texas A and M And the hgh school came to talk to us about life in high school. I learned that education is the most important thing in life.

  28. Some experiences I've got me ready to go to the next grade are that the language arts teacher helped us reading thicker books and packettsto work on while we read the books. The teachers tried making us mature and diciplined so when we go to highschool we and our old school can have a good image. I've noticed that its going to get even harder every year and I have to be responsible because we need our grades to be good in highschool so we can get credits. That's what my sister said.

  36. This year I have learned a lot about going on to the 8th grade. My math teacher has taught us same 8th grade math and told us that we have to ask questions if we need to and giving us some advise for what to do. A lot of my other teachers have told us to try our best and they tought us about what to be ready for in 8th grade.

  37. This year I have learned a lot about going to the 8th grade my teachers have taught me what it's like in 8th grade. I have learned to work harder to go somewhere in life, and my teachers are making me more brilliant to be ready for 8th grade.

  38. This year it was fun.I learned a lot of things about math.What i think got me to the next grade is not to talk to other people when the teacher is giving directions. Teachers talk to me about 8th grade and it sounded fun and I think that helped me to try my best.

  39. What got me excited to be ready to go to 8th is the new things I learned in math class. Also, the curiosity of how it might feel to be an 8th grader.

  40. I'm afraid I might not make it to the 9th grade. Question. If you don't pass in one class (I got a D+ in a language class) will it hold you from advancing to the next grade level?

    Please, I'm really scared. It's my fault, but I hope I can advance :(
