Always be prepared for school. Do your homework the day it is assigned so you will have it the day it is due. If you have everything you need for class prepared the night before, you don’t need to stress about it. Also sitting in class without you books or something to write with can get cause you to not be able to follow the teacher.

Your Pencil case should have:

• Pencil/pen
• Sharpener
• Eraser
• Highlighter
• Ruler

 Always take notes. Taking notes might not seem very important but it can help you to study or review. If you have a bad day or are tired in class, you can take notes and read them afterwards to really understand what the teacher was teaching. Study for tests. Test’s are a big part of your grade and also a way to show the teacher at which level you are. When the teacher tells you the date of the test you should start studying as soon as possible. You don’t have to study 5 hours each day, just try to look at the information everyday for 5 to 10 min.

Take a break. While doing homework or studying, never forget to take a short break; eat something, go for a walk or stretch. If you feel stressed or it’s getting late don’t work to much because you need your sleep. If it is to much work talk to your teacher or find a way to do it some other time. School is a big part of our life but to be successful you have to be able to take a break and think about something else.
