Keeping your grades up can be tough around this time of year so to help you we have put together a few tips!


1. When you're at home studying, make sure your in a quiet place. Don't get up and wander around and if you usually have a snack when you get home, bring it in your room along with some water.. Oh and make sure that your snack is healthy!


2. Pay attention during class. Do not drift off in your own dreamland! No matter how nice it may seem to be in that dreamland of yours, make sure you're paying attention and keep dreamland until bedtime!
3. Speaking of Bedtime, Don't stay up later then you should! 7-12 year olds should get 10-11 hours of sleep each night. 13-18 year olds should get 8-9 hours of sleep. So set that alarm clock and get to sleep early but don't get up before that alarm clock goes off!
                                            3. Sit near the front of the class if possible. Especially if you cannot see well! If you can't see well and are too scared to ask your teacher to move near the front, have a parent or guardian write a note for you.
                                             4. Ask as many questions as you need and answer questions when the teacher asks.  It will help you from drifting off also!
                                              5. Finish your assignments and homework on time. Don't waste your time talking to friends. It will distract you & her and might also get you into trouble.
                                               6. Have a big test coming up? Well study a little bit each and every night so you don't have to worry about studying all of it the night before. It can also become easy to forget the night before she studying every night will help you remember!
                                                7. Join a study group. It will help you and others study without getting to distracted. Find fun ways to study with your group because if its too boring you wont want to stay.
                                                8. Set goals. Say that you usually don't do well in Math. Well if you want an A, set your mind to it and use the tips above to help!
                                                  9. Take breaks once in a while. Don't work yourself to hard now.. That can make you very frustrated and you wont want to do your work. So take breaks as often as you think you need to.
