GEMS: Today we have 6 tips for how to get good grades this year!

Sure, we all WANT to get good grades, but we know it isn’t always easy!  Sometimes it’s hard to get all the homework done. And while we’re talking about homework … have you seen “Just Giselle’s – Homework Routine – Sis Vs Bro –  School Study Tips Comedy Skit Sketch?” If you haven’t seen it yet be sure to watch it to see the difference between how girls and boys do homework. It’s super funny!

Here are 6 tips to help you get good grades!

1. Color!

 

Color code what you do. When you use different colors, it helps your brain remember! Use a highlighter, colored pencils and pens. Use bright post it notes for making notes in your textbooks.

2. Stay organized!

Don’t leave your papers everywhere. Because you’ll have a panic attack when you can’t find your homework! Have dividers for each subject. Dividers are your friend!

3. Don’t put it off!

Start big assignments right away, so you’re not STRESSED OUT when it’s due!

4. Phone Numbers!

Get phone numbers of friends in your classes. You can text or call them if you have a question or miss school and don’t know the assignments.

5. Take breaks!

If you study non stop for a long time, your brain gets foggy. So, take a short 10-15 minute break. Walk around the block – have a snack – watch a GEM Sisters Video!

6. Use No School Days!

Anytime you have a break from school, like Holidays, Fall Break, or Spring Break, or any other days off, study and get ahead in your assignments. Don’t study the whole time of course. You still want to enjoy your time away from school!
