6th Grade

• Start practicing good study skills.
• Make sure to take notes in class.
• Learn to organize your work load in order to stay on top of assignments. If your school provides an agenda planner, use it! If your school doesn't use planners, ask a parent or relative to help you get one.
• Be in school every day.
• Always turn homework in on time.
• Join clubs and participate in extracurricular activities that will give you an opportunity to explore a variety of interests.
• Think about what you do well. The sooner you identify your interests and abilities, the sooner you'll be able to plan for college and your career.
• Read at least 30 minutes a day in addition to what you read as part of your homework. Reading is one of the best ways to learn. It will pay off when you take tests to get into college in a few years.
• Make good choices and decisions.
