In an effort to help students know more about what to expect at the next grade level before the end of the year, our Advisory lesson for this week asked students to think, reflect, and brainstorm what advice they would give to students that will be entering that grade next year. This included tips for how to be successful, things they wish they would have known or really understood beforehand, etc. Advisory groups discussed these topics and brainstormed a list of suggestions to pass on. 8th graders created advice for current 7th graders, and 7th graders did so for current 6th graders. Many of the lists were compiled digitally using Padlet or Google Docs.
Advisory groups were creative in how they presented the information. For example, Mrs. Sanborn's group created Twitter Handles as seen below:
Once the lists were compiled, students created posters including the tips and advice they wished to pass on to the grade below them. Posters will be displayed in the MMS hallways for students to view.
What advice do you wish you had known before entering Middle School?

- Find time to do sports during sports season! #schoolbeforesports
- Come to school. #dontskip
- Manage your stress because it will seriously stink to be stressed all the time. #managestress
- Just because you messed up, doesn't mean you should give up. #perseverance #keepyourheadinthegame
