Hello I wouldn’t worry to much about it every body is going to be nerves weather they admit it or not on their first day. The first week is going to be a long week but if you hang in their you will find out that sixth grade can be a new experience that you will never forget. Also you will be able to wear all your new out fits and you will be able to see all of your old friends they will be just as nerves as you. The first day if you think about it will be a lot of fun and you will be able to make new friends, new classes, and don’t forget the dances that you will be able to go to now. Just tell your self you can do this and it is going to be great it will be. Good Luck it is not that bad and it will all get better promise.

Congrats! I start my 3rd year of 6th grade in September!

Rule #1: OVERPLAN, OVERPLAN, OVERPLAN! I know that it is exhausting, but that is the first year of teacher, so prepare for a wild ride by overplanning as much as possible, ESPECIALLY for the first day! I am literally preparing a breakdown of every 15 minutes for that “first day” stuff–much of it from Wong and Wong’s “First Days of School”

Rule #2: Get a project going ASAP. It could be a novel, a group map, whatever. The weakest area of a newer teacher is pacing: I’m sure you’ll have a day in the first month (if not week!) where you have planned something to last an hour and it’s over in 15 minutes. Having an ongoing project can give you breathing room AND always gives them work to do.

Rule #3: Ask for help/feedback/assistance/points of view as much as possible! You’ll find out who the grouches are to avoid, so avoid them–but a good teacher will always be happy to help you. Heck, a good teacher will feed off of your newbie energy!

Rule #4: If you are a first-time teacher, don’t feel like you are the first one to ever be imperfect! Everyone should remember what it was like to be in there the first time!

Good luck!!! 🙂 🙂

Edit: Hope that first day went well!

Hey,

I am starting seventh grade in September, It should all be fine!

you may seem a bit nervous on the first and second day but don’t sweat it! you might make some new friends and all you have to do is stay focused! do your homework, study, and have fun! it should be really great!

Just be yourself and have fun they say these years suck but to me its the years I miss most of all. So good luck and don’t worry about nothing you’ll be just fine. Oh, Happy First Day as a 6th grader.
