10 Things To Know About This Class
This class is not hard and Mrs. Robins is an awesome teacher. She makes this class enjoyable, so have fun but don't be lazy so you can actually enjoy it. Here are ten tips to help you.
1. Get your work in on time! There are usually about two things per month you have to do as homework in this class: blog post, and writing contest, so don't be a slacker and just get it done.

2. READ! If you're in this class, you probably like reading so it shouldn't be that big of a problem to read. Just in case you don't read a lot though, if you don't read you can't get into the iRead 40 club which will include a party at the end of the year that will be a blast. You'll be sorry you missed it if you don't get your reading done.
3. Don't procrastinate: procrastination will be a huge problem for you if you do it because then you'll get behind in blog posts, writing contests, reading, and the extra assignments you'll have to do. This will NOT keep you in this class, you could get bumped down in your grades low enough that you could be taken out. Not fun.
4. Go to school! Just think, if you're not in school to learn what Mrs. Robins is teaching, you'll fall behind. With every other class you're missing you'll be swamped with all the work so you wouldn't be able to get a lot done. Also when you are at school, turn your cell phone off! Especially in this class because Mrs. Robins WILL answer it for you. Good luck..😉
5. Have fun! This class is full of fun activities and things to do that you shouldn't be bored and you shouldn't worry too much. Just relax and do what you need to and you'll be fine.
6. Communicate. You need to be able to communicate with other people to do well in this class. If you think you've done something and it's not on your grades you need to tell Mrs. Robins so she can fix it.
7. Be creative! You have a lot of chances to use your creativity in this class so you should use it when you get the chance.
8. Do extra credit! When you don't have the grade you need or want there are extra credit assignments that you can do. You should take them and get the points you need.
9. Participate in class! If you don't participate and do the activities, Mrs. Robins won't know if you actually understand what she is teaching and it won't help you or her.
10. Ask questions! When you have a question or don't understand something, you can just ask one of your classmates or someone at your table. If you still don't understand you can ask Mrs. Robins and she will help you.

St. Patrick's Day
St Patrick's Day is one of the most popular holidays in America. It's the one day of the year where we get to pinch someone if they aren't wearing green! And usually that is the only thing we think about when St. Patrick's Day is on our minds, but really it is a lot more than that! The reason we celebrate St. Patrick's Day, is because of the death of St. Patrick. St. Patrick is the patron saint and national apostle of Ireland. According to the website "The History of Saint Patrick's Day" it states, "Patrick was instrumental in bringing the Roman Catholic beliefs to Ireland and in subsequent years, Saint Patrick’s Day became a day to commemorate Catholicism in Ireland". So next time you here about St. Patrick's Day, think about what it really means, not just the fun traditions.

History of St. Patricks Day
Saint Patrick is internationally known as the saint of Ireland. From the time you were born you have celebrated Saint Patricks Day. You dress up in green and say, "Everybody's Irish on Saint Patrick's Day." Most people don't know the true history behind Saint Patrick, and only think of Saint Patrick's Day as a day for fun. Even historians have trouble uncovering the truth about Saint Patrick. Patrick's early years are also a mystery to us. However, we do know that when he was about sixteen he was kidnapped and sold as a slave in Ireland. There he became a shepherd. Being a slave was a hard, grueling life, and that was when Saint Patrick turned to God for comfort.

Is Saint Patrick's Day really just a day to pinch people over the color green? Even thought pinching someone if they are not wearing green is fun but there is a lot more to the story. Saint Patrick is who the Irish holiday is focused on, but he was not even Irish. In the article "Saint Patrick's Day Fast Facts" it stated: ...born in Britain...at the age of sixteen he was brought to Ireland as a slave." After six years he finally escaped. Later Saint Patrick returned to Ireland and became a priest. He wanted to Christianize the Irish people. He was successful, when he died on the 17th of March the Irish made it a holiday to commemorate him. One of the symbols of St. Patrick's Day is the shamrock, this clover like plant has 3 leafs and was a tool Saint Patrick used to help convert the Irish people. It symbolized the Holy Trinity and how they are 'united' like how the plant is united by one stem. Saint Patrick's Day has a lot more meaning than green and pinching.
