Dear future grade 6’s.
You are about to have one of the best years of your life! You may have heard other future grade 7’s say that grade 6 is the hardest year. They are right and wrong at the same time. Grade 6 is hard, but thats how you get better. When you do something hard you feel good about yourself and you get better at what you do. If you haven’t been in a split class before, I want you to know that it is more like a combined class. No one is doing something different because they aren’t in the same grade. That’s one of the things that make grade 6 hard. You’re not only learning stuff in your grade but grade 7 stuff too. Now you may be a little freaked out, but it’s ok. You will be prepared for grade 7 and you’ve got all us grade 7’s to help you if you’re stuck. When you walk in the door of your new grade 6/7 classroom, you will probably feel like all the grade 7’s will take over and be mean to you guys. I know how that feels and that it is pretty scary, but we don’t take charge. If we took away the grades you would think that we are all one grade. When you do your work TAKE YOUR TIME! Don’t just rush it so that you’re done. I have learned that if you take your time you feel WAY better about your work. Don’t be scared to ask the grade 7’s and the teacher for help. What I like about grade 6/7 is that we can come to school early to finish our work. What I mean by that is that is that if we want help with work we can come to school early. Take ownership of your work by coming in early. Being in a combined class is fun! Don’t be afraid because there is nothing to worry about. Keep your head up and don’t forget to smile! :)
