At A Grade Ahead, our day-to-day focus is empowering students through educational enrichment in math, English, and science. We also understand that getting back into the swing of school after summer, while exciting, can pose its own challenges. Let’s explore some tips for tackling this time of year!
Establish Good Habits!
While summer break is a great time to relax and enjoy yourself, you may find that having a routine for the school year is helpful. Going to bed at a reasonable hour to wake up refreshed and ready to face the day is a good habit for anyone, including students of all ages!
Beyond that, think organization! Take small steps that will reward you with a big payout:
- Consider setting out your clothes for the next day before you go to bed each night.
- Set up a designated space and time to complete homework each day.
- Remember to take breaks when needed to give your brain a rest!
For more details, see this blog post from A Grade Ahead’s own Susanna Robbins as she talks all things organization!
Consider an Enrichment Program!
An after-school enrichment program like A Grade Ahead can be a great option for students. It can help both students who are already ahead or those who are looking for a little extra help. Understand the importance of educational enrichment from these past blogs.
