Directions on how to become a successful student.
1) Pay attention to the lesson during class. If you don't pay attention and stay focused, you have already decreased your chances for being successful at that skill.
2) Ask questions when you don't understand, or when you want to learn more. If you don't make the effort to ask questions, we won't be able to give you all of the help that you may need. We love answering questions about our subject, so ask away!
3) Do your homework on time and at a high level. You might not always like the homework that you are assigned, but it still needs to be completed. Look at homework like a job. You are required to get the work finished, or you won't be successful. If this was a job, and you didn't hand in your work, you would be fired. We won't fire you, but you will lose points.
4) Read 20 minutes per evening.We will be reading in school, everyday, for at least 30 minutes. You should read for another 20 at home. I know that you are involved with sports, band, etc. However, you need to find the time. Read in the car as you are being taken to practices, read before bed time, and you could even read on the bus.
