Sunshine, Sports, Homework, Projects, Testing<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Help you kids organize their springtime. Here&#8217;s a list of study habits for ending the year with an up-tick:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Use a weekly and monthly planner to organize school homework and projects as well as family and extra curricular and other activities. It&#8217;s not a good time of year to &#8216;wing-it&#8217; since so many important projects and tests are on the horizon.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Set expectations as well as their timelines. Discuss their goals and intentions on school work as well as other activities. It&#8217;s easy to just float along; instead talk about specific goals for school-related projects that includes the level of grade\/score in their sites. A &#8220;b&#8221; grade may be fine, but why not aim for an &#8220;a&#8221;? It means more work, but also more understanding about the subject.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keep the study area stocked with necessary tools as well as proper lighting and a desk or table area away from the family traffic zones.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Provide healthy snacks, a positive atmosphere and adult support during study time. Remember, now&#8217;s a great time for the <em>entire family<\/em> to work on quiet projects (away from electronics)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Suggest kids start with the most important homework or project first.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Offer to look over completed work. A second set of eyes is always a great idea. Set a good example by offering to have your kids look over your projects as well.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-black-color has-vivid-green-cyan-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-f2e27310cbe4deb9cb2c406ac248b164\">\u00a0Teachers: Feel free to copy and send this reminder home to families if you wish.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spring!
