Study Smarts




Now that we are in full swing everyone will be experiencing testing. Studying is a skill all ourstudents will need throughout their years of school. Perhaps you can help your child with these small tips.


Start a habit


Encourage your child to treat studying as a daily assignment, not just something their do the night before a test. For example, they might practice their spelling words every night for a short period instead of the night before. After they finish their homework assignments they can review what they were exposed to during the day. This way they can keep on top of all their subject and what is expected of them.


Use the Textbook or Notes


To increase their understanding have them preview the chapter again looking at the graphics and going to the glossary to look up all the boldfaced words. Review the heading and have your student in their own words tell you what the text or their notes represent.


Have a safe and warm long weekend, Principal Schultz
