First Day Of School

School's reopening, and with it comes new classes, new friends, and of course, new assignments. The new school year can seem a bit daunting, but with proper planning, there's nothing that can't be handled.  This week, we're showing off a great way to plan out the school year, as well as some fun ways to study effectively.


As school begins again, there's two things we need to get used to doing again: homework and studying. We can talk about homework another time, but for now, we've found a cool YouTube video, The Best Studying Tips for School by the channel Seventeen, containing several tips for anyone studying for a quiz, test, or just for research. 

  

5 Easy Steps to Plan Your Entire School Year



School can seem really overwhelming, especially on the first day. It can be confusing trying to figure everything out, but if you have a plan for the whole school year, things will appear much less complex. On the website thebutterflyteacher.com, there's a list of 5 different steps to map out the school year. These tips should help any student plan out their school year with no hassle and no stress.


My Study Life


We've covered multiple great ways to study so far. There are also several unique ways to plan out the year as well, including virtual ones. My Study Life is an app that acts as a mobile school planner, accessible through your phone. This app enables you to keep track of all your classes, tasks, assignments and exams at any time, and serves as a great tool for those looking to keep things organized.

Note: We look forward to welcoming familiar and new faces for the Fall. As schedules may change, the school year starts, and other responsibilities.
