    3. As soon as I get home from school or, on the weekends, as soon as I wake up.
    4. I listen to music and keep goals to stay on task.
    5. Mrs. Jacobs can help me by giving me clear instructions, which she already does!

  3. 1. When I study, I usually just read over the notes I've taken in class.
    2. In my room at my desk.
    3. When I am alone, and I usually have some music on.
    4. I keep all of my work in an accordion folder. It really helps because I know where everything is. If I have some homework, I don't like to use my agenda so I write it on my hand. It's a good way to remember stuff.
    5. Not really any way. I'm fine.

  5. 1. I write things down a few times to memorize them.
    2. I personally like to study in my dining room.
    3. I study best when there is noise around me.
    4. To stay organized, I keep track of where I am so far and continue to work on the things I need in order.
    5. Mrs. Jacobs could give us a few study guides that are done independently. To make sure we study, have a short quiz over the information.

  6. 1:When I study I usaly just use a lot of repatition and some times use flash cards and things.
    2:I study in my room. I try to study other places but my room lets me be alone with my thoughts.
    3:I can nprety much study when ever but I do best right when i get home so that I don't have time to unwind first.
    4:When I'm working by my self I don"t keep mt self orginize. I kind of save that for when I'm done studying. Although, when I study I lissen to music which sorts helps me concentrat.
    5:To help with the study skills and independent working you should assine home work that alows lots of repation and is home work there for forceing us to work alone becdause none of us are going to bring home work to a freinds house when you go over to hang out.

  10. 1. When I study, I mostly use notecards and I'll have one of my brothers help me. Plenty of times, I have also tried making rhymes, poems or songs since I do this anyway during my free time. It usually helps me because I know if I can remember a regular song , I could remember one I made up to help me in my classes.
    2. I generally study in my room. Mostly because it's the room in which I'm most comfortable and the room I'm most familiar with. But, every once in a while I will study by the computer so if I need helpI can easily look it up.
    3. I usually study before I go to bed and if need be, in the mornings when I'm getting ready. I'll test my memory of whatever subject I'm studying to help me remember what I was looking over the nnight before.
    4.I have realized I usual get off track while working when there is something else drawing my attention. For example, sometimes I do homework with the T.V on which probably isn't the best habit I've picked up. I know now that I work faster and more accurately.
    5. Ms. Jacobs could help me by providing study guides. I have noticed that study guides help me alot since they provide me with the specific information I need to know to ace the test.

  11. 1. Although I dont usally study, I like to have notes and reread them a couple of times and call it studing.
    2. I study in my room on my bed because its usally the quietest place in my house.
    3. I best study at night. Like 12 or 1.
    4. I'm not so organized I think the most organized thing in my house is my closet.(just got some new organizing closet stuff) I think i could have a place for every. That could help. Right?
    5. I'm not sure. I guess quiet and something to read always helps.

  12. 1. When I study I usually go over all my notes more than once.
    2. I study in my room or outside in my backyard. Basically somewhere where its quiet and no one can interupt me from my studying.
    3. I study best when I first come in from school because my brain is still in work mode.
    4. I usually just make a plan in my head about how to keep organized. I usually clean out my binder every weekend to keep organized.
    5. I think Ms. Jacob's could give us study packets before every test. This way we can do them and then study them before a test.

  16. 1. I study by making flashcards.

    2. I study in my room,typically by myself so that I can focus, but sometimes my dad helps me study !

    3. I study best when im doing it in a way that is fun to me. If im studying, but im bored I tend to start thinking about other things. Therefore im not picking up the information that I need to be.

    4. I keep myself organized by putting all of the work I need in different areas, that way when I get to class and need them I know exactly where to look. When im by myself, I keep myself on track by thinking of the consequences for getting off track. For example, when studying I think of the bad grade I could get if I do not focus.

    5. Honestly, I believe Ms. jacobs is already doing a great job. So, just don't change anything.
