The Top Ten Things About Mrs. Robin's Class, Hadley Arnold P.6

1. Mrs. Robins. She is without a doubt the most incredible teacher I’ve ever had. She is encouraging, helpful, kind, and hilarious. Yet, she won’t be afraid to get on top of you for not getting work done. She also never fails to show how proud she is when you do well. Overall, she is an amazing teacher.
2. iRead Program. Although it requires some effort, it is definitely worth it. The program allows you to expand your reading skills. Because I was required to read different genres I was able to find new books that I really enjoyed. Also, you don’t want to miss out on the iRead party at the end of the year. Honestly, just the feeling of completing the program and the praise you get for it makes all worth it.
3. Blog Posts. The blog post that is due at the end of each month improves your writing immensely. Mrs. Robins always makes the blog posts on a subject that is fun and easy to write about. Peer comments are very helpful and made me a better writer.
4. Writing Contests. Writing contests are usually on a simple subject and even fun to write. When you write one for Scope Magazine, you will win a prize and Scholastic writes you a letter complimenting you on your writing. If you try your best, you have a much higher chance of winning. I won one this year, and it was definitely worth the work.
5. Class activities. Sometimes in class, Mrs. Robins had incredibly fun lesson plans. One time, we went outside and had a race to practice ACES and OREO foldables.That’s just an example of the many other classes we spent having fun while still learning. As long as you always have a positive attitude, you’re insured to have fun in class.
6. College Field Trip. We went on a field trip to the college. It was so much fun. We took a tour and got to sign a book that is part of the cloud in the library. We learned all about the college and where to find sources, plus it was nice to get out of school. There were also some super cute guys! Haha!
7. Class reading. This was a very fun part of class. We read Wednesday Wars, A Long Walk To Water, and The Giver. All were amazing books, and it was fun to discuss them with the class.
8. Teams and Team Flags. All of the tables I sat on were full of great students and were easy to work with. It was also very fun to make team names and the posters.
9. Essays. Although it may not sound fun, they really were. Mrs. Robins gave us interesting things to write about and I think I became a much better writer because of it. She also had contests to see which period would have the most turned in on time. If you won, you got to have some sort of party/treat.
10. Movies. After we read A Long Walk To Water we compared it to the movie The Good Lie. We also watched The Avengers after we finished our Superheo essay. After reading The Giver, we also watched that movie. Watching the movies and comparing them to the books was very enjoyable.

In conclusion, this year will be amazing. Remember to keep on top of your work and always put in your best effort! Be kind to your classmates and have a positive attitude. Good luck, have a great year!
