AWESOME ARTICLES

I recently read an article from College Data describing 10 qualities a person should think about when choosing a college. Read the article then comment which quality you think is most important in a college. Read the article here. HOW TO FIND THE ESSENTIAL QUESTION The Essential question is the question that is sometimes asked at the beginning of the lesson. It is the question that when answered will sum up what was learned in class on a particular day. Many times the essential question will be written on the board or mentioned by the teacher. If it is not, MEMOIR – MAKELEARNINGSTICK Memoir by Emma C. Students were asked to write a memoir based on one important experience from their lives. Check out Emma C.’s memoir. It is about her final softball game to win the championship. “BAM” the ball was hit and it went flying! In 2013, I was happy! Something happened that I couldn’t believe. My softball team won the

Over the summer, it has been proven that students lose reading skills they have worked so hard during the school year to attain. As students continue into High School, it is even more important than reading skills continue to be learned and used to prepare them for college. THE NUMBERS ADD UP TO COLLEGE Since the Recession has ended 11.6 million jobs have been created. 3.8 million of those jobs went to workers with a Graduate degree. 4.6 million of those jobs went to workers with a Bachelor's degree. 3.12 million of those jobs went to workers with some college. 80,000 of those jobs went to workers with a high school AVID 7 FINDS THEIR GOOD QUALITIES AVID 7 read a great article about a homeless girl who was able to get a full ride to Yale University. The students of AVID 7 realized that to get that full ride Viviana must have some pretty good qualities. We compared ourselves to Viviana to figure out what traits we shared.

Another new semester, another new start.  Be sure you use each new semester to your advantage.  Check out these tips to make Seventh grade a fabulous year! 1. USE YOUR TIME WISELY! * Be sure to use your Pioneer Passport EVERY DAY!  Don’t just write your homework also include projects, tests, field trips, practices, and any other commitments you do not want to forget. * Be sure to review your Pioneer Passport every day to be sure you know when assignments are due.  The older you get the more assignments you will have.  Getting in the habit of checking when items are due will make you a very successful person. * Don’t wait to do assignments until the last minute, unexpected

things come up.

2.  BE PREPARED TO WORK HARD! * Some people think that the first few weeks of a semester is not important.  That is not true.  A student should work just as hard the first few weeks of school as the end.  In fact, if you consistently work hard school would be easier and you would get better

grades.

3.  TALK TO YOUR COUNSELOR! * Having trouble in a class?  Is it too easy?  Too hard?  Is there someone in class that is bugging you?  Do you sit next to someone you are going to talk to? Then tell your counselor.  Your counselor is there to help you do well in school.  If you need help

ask for it.

4. SET A GOAL!

* Find a reason to do well in school.  Set a goal or find a role model that will want you to work hard in school. * Think about last semester.  What would you have liked to have done differently?  How could you have gotten better grades?

* Stay positive.

Identifying realistic and specific academic and personal goals can help motivate you. Try to remain positive, and acknowledge (and celebrate) each goal you meet. You deserve it! Posted in Help Yourself DO YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO SUCCEED? Posted on August 5, 2019June 3, 2019

Want to be rich?  It turns out that I.Q. is not necessarily a correct predictor of how rich a person will be when they grow up. So what is? Personality!  In other words, according to this study,

if

a person wants to be rich when he/she grows up then he/she has to be willing to work hard. Posted in Class Assignment

Posted in Class Life HOW TO DO WELL IN SCHOOL Posted on July 25, 2019June 3, 2019

by Cindy Espeseth

There are many different ways to do well in school.  Here are a few

suggestions.

*

* BEFORE THE SCHOOL YEAR/SEMESTER/TRIMESTER STARTS CREATE GOALS. Ask yourself what types of grades you want and be clear on what you are willing to do to get them.  Be realistic.  If you say to yourself you want A’s but you are not willing to do homework then you must understand that you will not receive A’s.  Other goals you may want to set are Better citizenship grades, Student of the Month, Scholarship, and/or CJSF. * USE YOU PIONEER PASSPORT.  Not only should you write your homework in your Pioneer Passport you should also include tests and projects.  It is also a good idea to add extra events like play practice, club events, field trips, and sports practice so that you can manage your time better.  It is possible to do homework before it is due especially when you have practice and will be unable to complete it the night before it is due. * CREATE HABITS.  Do your homework in the same place at the same time every day.  Study your worst subject 5 minutes every day once you complete your homework.  Clean your binder out once a week on the same day.  Hole punch your papers and file them as soon as you get them.  Create good habits and practice them every single day. * DO EVERY SINGLE ASSIGNMENT.  Grades are about the accumulation of points.  Be sure to do every assignment so that you can get the most points possible.  It is never okay not to do an assignment even the

extra-credit.

* DON’T WAIT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE TO DO YOU WORK.  Be sure to do work as soon as you get it.  Waiting until the last minute makes turning in assignments more difficult. * FIND A STUDY BUDDY.  Be sure to write the names and phone numbers of at least two people in each of your classes.  If you are absent, get confused, need to talk about class assignments, or recopy notes you can ask your study buddy.  It is okay to pick your friends but be sure they are people you can rely on. * TAKE ADVANTAGE OF SUSSMAN.  There are many opportunities at Sussman for students who need extra help.  After-Math is offered Mondays, Tuesday, and Thursdays.  Many teachers open their classrooms before-school, after-school and at lunch.  Mrs. Espeseth is in her room almost every day before school starting at 7:00 am, lunch, and after-school until at least 3:00 pm.  And Saturday School is always a great option to get extra help. Can you think of other suggestions?  Write them in the comment

section.
