Tips to Get Good Grades
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 isnât always easy! Sometimes it’s hard to get all the homework done. And while we’re talking about homework … have you seen “Just Giselleâs – 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. Itâs 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!
Donât leave your papers everywhere. Because youâll have a panic attack when you canât find your homework! Have dividers for each subject. Dividers are your friend!
3. Donât put it off!
Start big assignments right away, so youâre not STRESSED OUT when itâs 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 donât 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. Donât study the whole time of course. You still want to enjoy your time away from school!
GEMS: We hope these study tips help you get great grades this year.
Be sure and take our poll tomorrow on “How Do You Do Your Homework!”
Let us know in the comments if you have any tips to share!
How to Spread a Smile!
GEMS: Have you noticed that when you smile at someone, they just have to smile back?
Smiles are infectious! You share a smile with someone, and they feel good, and pass that smile on to someone else. When we are kind to someone, it not only makes them feel good, it makes us feel better too! Here are 10 ways to be kind to others. Letâs all pick some things from this list, and see if we can spread a smile this week!
1. Smile and Say Hello to Someone!
You never know, it might be the only smile they get that day! Â Be Friendly! Introduce yourself to someone at school that you donât know. Strike up a conversation with them. Be excited to hear what they have to say!
2. Donate Clothes to Charity!
There are lots of girls and boys that donât have money for nice clothes to wear to school. Just think how that would make them smile to have a new cute outfit. They would love to have some of the nice things that are too small for you now. You can donate your gently used clothes to charity, or give them to someone you know that would love to have them!
3. Get Well Cards!
Make Get Well Cards for anyone who is sick. This will cheer them up and make them feel better to know that someone is thinking of them.

2. School Spirit!
Go to your school’s sporting events, concerts, and plays. You’ll have fun, run into your friends and maybe even make some new ones!

Have a Fun Summer Sleepover!
Hey GEMS! How is your summer going so far?
If youâre looking for a fun way to get together with your friends, why not have a sleepover?
Here are 5 ways to make your sleepover awesome!
1. Tent Fort!
Tell everyone to bring extra sheets/blankets/pillows and you can build tent forts. Get creative and make up your own design. Or if you want to make the one in this picture, hereâs how:
- Put kitchen chairs with seats facing out. Youâll need 4-6.
- Fasten a fitted sheet over the tops of the chairs to make the roof.
- Use clothespins to attach sheets or blankets to make the walls.
- Inside your fort, put blankets and pillows on the floors.
- Have fun sleeping in your tent!
2. Jammies!
Tell everyone to bring their favorite fun pajamas. You could even have a prize for whoever has the wackiest PJâs.
How to Drink More Water!
Hey GEMS! Weâll all be spending more time playing outside and being active now that school is out. Since itâs hotter in the summer itâs important that we all drink plenty of water. We want to stay healthy so we can have lots of fun this summer, so weâve come up with 5 tips for how to drink enough water.
But first if youâre not convinced you should be drinking water, here are a few fun facts for those of you who need to know why!
Our body is made up of 60% to 70% water. Now thatâs a LOT of water! That alone should make all of us see how important it is to drink water! Our body uses water in so many ways. Itâs needed for our muscles and joints to move, for our brain to think, for our stomach to digest food, and to keep our body from getting too hot or too cold. Water even effects if we are in a good or bad mood!
So, hereâs our 5 tips on how to get enough water this summer!
1. Use a Fun Cup!
Get a colorful cup, with a fun straw. Thatâs way more fun than a plain glass, or a clear plastic water bottle, and youâll always know which water is yours! Why not buy two? You can leave one at home, and take the other one with you when you go outside to play or go to the pool. Is super important to drink water when youâre active.
2. Flavor your water!
Put slices of lemon, lime, cucumber, or mint leaves in your water. It gives it a nice light natural taste.
Tip from Giselle:
We have lemon trees and also mint growing in our back yard. I love to put 4-5 mint leaves or a lemon slice in a glass of ice water. Sometimes I make a whole pitcher of mint water or lemon water and keep it in the fridge for everyone to enjoy. It tastes even better when it sits in the fridge for a while.
Six Ways to Earn Money This Summer!
 Weâre so glad that school is out and summer is here!
Hey GEMS! Thereâs all kinds of fun things we want to do this summer, and we just realized weâre going to need some money! We figured you probably do too, so we came up with six ideas for how to earn $$ this summer. Make sure you ask your parents for permission before you try any of these. You might want to do these jobs with a friend and split the money. Thatâs even more fun!
1.Lemonade Stand
Set up a table and chair in your yard by the street. Make a sign that says lemonade $1.00 (or whatever price you choose). Make some lemonade. You could also make iced tea. Youâll need some disposable cups and a cooler of ice. Sit by your lemonade stand.
Tip from Evangeline:
As cars in your neighborhood drive by, hold up your sign. Jump up and down and wave at them to get their attention. If you can get them to stop, they wonât be able to say no to an iced cold drink!
2. Dog Walking
Offer to walk their dog for neighbors, friends, or family. Â This is a pretty easy job, and fun, except for one thing.
Tip from Mercedes:
Make sure and take two or three doggie bags with you because if the dog does itâs business, you have to pick it up. Ewww!
3. Report Card
Show your report card to your parents, grandparents, and aunts and uncles. You never know, they might pay for good grades.
Tip from Giselle:
Don’t forget your grandparents. Our grandparents pay way better than our mom and dad!
