~ Do's and Don'ts of Grade 7

Dear Rachel,

Grade seven will be the most fun year you will have at St. Edmund's. You will actually be looking forward to go to school every morning, because you have an awesome teacher, Mr. Dotto... who will make your final year at St. Edmund's memorable :D

There are many fun things that you get to do, inside and outside of the classroom.
~ There is the Homework Grand Prix, where you are in groups of 3 or 4 in a kind of board game. It's takes a long time to describe everything, so you just have to wait ;)
~ There is a couch in the classroom, and when it's your day, you get to sit on it with one other person.
~ There is also a TV, where sometimes we get to watch movies ... either for assignments or just for done during lunch.
~ I'm pretty sure you know about the mac laptops. How many times do you use them... like twice or three times a month? Well in grade 7 you use them twice or three times a week, or maybe more! So take good care of them, because our class sure did... =P
~ So many field trips and retreats, to prepare for Confirmation! I think the best field trip we had was "Spirit Day". You're there from the morning till night. I don't want to spoil it for you, so why don't you wait for 5 months? ;)

Some things you'll want to do when you're in grade 7 is...
~ Start on big assignments and projects as soon as you can, because you don't want to procrastinate and leave it all to the last minute.
~ Mr. Dotto is a great guyyy, his singing and artwork is amazing... ;] .. he's a lot of fun to have as a teacher, but you better not get on his bad side or you won't have such a fun year like you're supposed to. :)
~ Try not to get your name on the board! It affects your letter grade, and your chances to participate on the Homework Grand Prix...
~ Study hard, like you would always! There's a lot of prep to get ready for high school... and you want to make sure you're focused on that.
~ Not joke in religion! Mr. Dotto doesn't tolerate that! If you ever were to make a joke though, make it good... because if not he'll just completely ignore you :P

Grade seven will only be fun if you try to make it that way. Study hard, because you know the year after that is high school! Keep Mr. Dotto happy so you'll have a lot of free time and more freedom... hope you have a great year of 2010-2011!
