Quarter III
Collaboration with
Study Strategies:
Weekly Homework
This quarter, we
will focus on study habits in class and at home. Students will have a list of
study habits to practice each week, in order for them to find which strategy
has the most benefit when it comes to studying for any subject.
Students will be practicing
a specific study strategy each week. We would like to know that your son is
practicing and it would be helpful if parents could write a little note each
week in their agendas verifying that your son is using the strategy to study.
The weekly strategies
can be used in any of the subject areas, including Spanish,
"Sociales", Math, English, Science, Explora, etc...
Students will
practice the following strategies:
Week 1: Memorizing
daily notes taken in class
Week 2: Teach someone else about what you learned in school
Week 3: Reread and rewrite notes from class
Week 4: Meet with a partner and discuss class notes (Skype, phone,
meet afterschool...)
Week 5: Create a concept map by organizing the information learned
in school
Week 6: Practice using the best strategy
Week 7: Make a plan to study for your finals
Week 8: Reflection on Quarter III
