WARNING: FUN ahead!

HI NEW 7TH GRADERS!!

Here's a guide to Language Arts Honors: 7th grade!

1. FUN The first thing you have to remember is that this is a fun class! Mrs. Robins will try not to do anything that you don't want to do, but she still has you learn something.                                                    
2. NEWSPAPER Doing the newspaper is SOOOOOOO much fun! I really enjoyed it, but it's also a lot of work, depending on what page you have. We trust you (even though we don't know you yet...) We want it to be awesome next year too! 📰                                                                                 
3. BLOG POST/CONTEST Please, oh please do not forget about the blog post or contest. You have to have 1 each month. If you forget about it, (or procrastinate) you will see your grade start to go down. I suggest doing it early. That's what really helped me.                                                  
4. READ If you don't like to read, your're in trouble. Reading in here is not as demanding as 6th grade, but you still have to read a book every 10 days. It's pretty easy if your a fast reader, but if you're not, read smaller books. Mrs. Robins will help you, just ask her.  📖📚                                             
5. PROCRASTINATION You will probably see this on just about every blogpost. If you procrastinate/"forget" to turn something in, it is one of the leading causes of entering into a normal Language Arts class. (Well as normal as you can get. Mrs. Robins makes it super fun and strange sometimes. BEWARE the yoga poses!)                                                                                     
6. WORK TOGETHER It's okay if you like working  alone, but it's WAY better to work with others in your class. Make sure you collect ALL ideas. I'm glad I did. Just warning you! Also you get to make up awesome names for your team. (Go Robin Eggs!)                                                               
7. HELP Ask for help. Mrs. Robins will help you. Don't be afraid. She won't bring you down.         
8. TURN OFF YOUR PHONE! TURN YOUR PHONE ON! If your phone rings in class... Mrs. Robins will pick it up! It's hilarious, but probably not to you.                                                                  
9. BE FUNNY This might seem like a weird one, but Mrs. Robins is always up for a good joke. (One time I put my apple "phone" in the phone slot... 🍎She wanted to post it!) Just don't go too far. 😐                                                                                                                 
10. WRITE Please know how to write because we write a lot in this class, even for tests! For the blog posts she usually haves you write a fun prompt, but still, learn how to write! You'll get good grades and it's basically the key to this class... 🔑

    10 Things You Need To Know To Do Well In Mrs. Robins                                               Honors Class

By Anna Basso

1. Never try to have a conversation during class. Mrs Robins sees EVERYTHING and she will call you out and it’s pretty funny.
2. Always turn off your phone when you put it in the holder because if it goes off, Mrs. Robins will answer it and talk to whoever decided to call a 13 year old during school hours.
3. Don’t procrastinate! This one is super repeated, but I’m gonna say it one more time. DO YOUR WORK ON TIME, otherwise it will pretty much haunt you forever.
4. Always bring a book. In honors we often finish with extra time and a reading book is really nice to have on hand so that you don’t just sit there and stare off into space.
5. Just relax! Honors is super chill and fun as long as you do the simple blog post and writing contest and you’re good!
6. Don't try and read while Mrs Robins is talking, she WILL call you out and everyone laughsツ
7. Remember to read during the year! The reading part is pretty simple, and I don’t know anyone who truly hates reading, therefore just sit down and do it!
8. Do any extra credit you can, because if you don’t keep your grade above a B you will be kicked out!
9. Have a sense of humor! In this class, everyone gets teased at one point in the year, so just laugh! (also, Mrs Robins is really funny and she has a great sense of humor, so learn from her)
10. Be able to work well with others. During language arts, we often get to do fun projects with our table groups and if you don’t know how to get along with everyone then you will have a very difficult year.

10 things you need to know about Honors Language Arts!

1. Have fun! Mrs. Robins makes every assignment ten times more enjoyable so don't stress!

2. Sign up as fast as you can for the school newspaper section you want or you won't get it!

3. READ, READ, READ! The iRead 40 club party is so much fun!

4. Take your time on tests. (you'll do better) Mrs. Robins will let you come in to advisory if you need to! She even let's you get drinks and eat snacks during Sage testing!

5. You will have to put your device in a pocket during class so you can't play on it! I am warning you right now turn your device on silent!!! Mrs. Robins will answer your call or text if the phone goes off! I can't tell you how many times that has happened (those crazy telemarketers)

6. Listen in class! All the tests you take will be on what she has been talking to you about! Plus, you will get your work done faster!

7. Learn how to work well with others. You will be doing a lot of assignments with your table groups.

8. Do not turn in assignments or books late. You will start new assignments and if you still haven't turned in the old ones you will fall behind! (no pressure)

9. Keep your grade higher than a B! You will be kicked out of the honors class if you don't. If that means doing extra credit do it!

10. Prepare your hands! During this class you will be doing essays and the daily writing in your writers notebook!

    I just hope that you guys all know that you have been put with the best teacher, actually my favorite teacher ever! She will make you the happiest most smart person on earth! If the assignment is hard Mrs. Robins will give you more time or assist you! The waffle party and Christmas party will help you get through the year too! Have fun and be prepared for the happiest time of your life!

 Seventh grade is a fun year. However, it can be hard if you don't do these ten things.

1. Do not talk while the teacher is talking. If you  are a good kid you can turn in bad work and still get an A. Just Kidding.

2. Read and write for fun. This will help on almost every test this year.

3. Don't stress. Just do your work and Mrs. Robins will probably give you candy every once in a while just for doing it.

4. Do not Procrastinate. I did it all year in 6 grade, but this year your grade will not be able to handle it.

5. Get lots of Robins Rewards. It is free candy.

6. If you are ever bored Go to this website https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potato. It stimulates your brain and helps you feel calm.

7. If Mrs. Robins tells you to read, do it. You will probably get robins rewards.

8. Stay on task. I really struggled with this.

9. Don't zone out. Or else you will be that one guy who is always asking their friends what to do.

10. Read 40 Books. The party is awesome.

Welcome to the Thunder Dome, young one.

So you want to be in Robin's?

A ten-step list & explanation on how I tried to succeed

By Gabriella Dutson
(You might know me, I went to three classes to tell you why you should apply for this class!)

Greetings, it seems we have fresh meat. Do not fear, children, for Gabby is here to explain how to get by in this amazing class.

#10; Do your reading.

• You never know when those book deadlines are going to sneak up on your grade and prey upon its remains life a wolf on a lamb.

#9; Fill out Book Trackers.

• It only takes about five minutes, and you can do it from any device. It isn't that hard.

#8; Use her Library.

• You only go to the library once every two weeks, so why not use the one you go to daily in the classroom? Borrowing books from Mrs. Robins is easy, and she has all the best reads in there.

#7; Do Not Fear What You Don't Know.

• Mrs. Robins is great at making sure your grades are up and that you know what you're doing. This class shouldn't be a hassle unless you're lazy. If you are, leave now.

#6; Respect Mrs. Robin's Decisions.

• She's the boss. Maybe she decides to postpone book trackers or makes fun of a random kid for doing something dumb. It's all for the best, and all in good fun. She couldn't hurt a fly! (Unless the fly hurt one of you, then prepare for her to go Superman on that poor thing.)

#5; Be Prepared.

• You have no idea how screwed you'll be if you don't do your reading. You miss out, get low scores, and there's a small chance your parents might be ashamed of you. Depends on who you are.

#4; Procrastination in General.

• Sooooo many people in my class have grades that have plummeted by putting things off to the last minute. Especially on contest entries and blog posts. Just do it early on and enjoy your A. Like, it's so simple. Don't be like me.

#3; Writing Contests.

• They're unbelievably fun to write, trust me. This is coming from a person who recently won one,  which included me getting a free book and a letter from the editor. You will lay awake at night thinking about how you didn't do one at least once, so heed my words; THEY'RE FUN, STOP BEING LAZY.

#2; Have Good Manners.

• If you're kind, honest and mannerly, you will definitely get on Mrs. Robins' good side. She doesn't focus her attention only on your grades, but on your attitude and your feelings. Literally, just don't be a buttface. There are too many kids in this class right NOW that are kind around teachers but reckless and vulgar with friends.

#1; Make iRead 40 Club.

• Getting in the iRead 40 Club is one of the coolest and rewarding feelings you can have. Finally, you did it! And it wasn't even that hard! Not to mention you get a sick t-shirt, a king-sized candy bar, AND entry into the end-of-the-year party! I haven't gone yet, it's in a few weeks, but it's gonna lit. I can already tell. So join iRead! It's 100% worth it!

Thank you for reading. This is my first effort-filled post in a while and I'm glad to see it shine. Have fun in Robins' you little nerds, and never forget the Robin Eggs;
