Homework & Study Secrets

*Each day after school, unload your backpack in the same place. 

*Talk to your family about what you did at school. 

*Look in your planner for your assignments. 

*Choose a time to study. 

*Find a special, quiet study place at home.  No television or radio.  Have a pencil, eraser, and books ready.  Always do your homework in your study place. 

*Do all your homework and have someone check and sign your planner. 

*Practice things you learned at school each night, like some math facts, spelling words, social studies and science facts, for ten to fifteen minutes. 

*Load your backpack for the next day before you go to bed. 

*Practice following directions from adults right away. 

*Practice doing things for yourself instead of asking your parents to do things.  (BE SURE YOU ARE ALLOWED FIRST!)
