Time Management/Study Habits 

Students have seven classes in a school day with seven different teachers, seven different expectations, and sometimes seven different homework assignments! Along with being responsible for all of the above, students must also be responsible for managing time; both at school and at home. One major academic process that students must fit in to their busy schedules is homework - whether completing assignments, major projects, or studying for tests. Learning and utilizing study skills is an important lesson for a 6th grader. Your 6th grade teachers will spend a lot of time throughout the year teaching and demonstrating what good study skills looks like.
