Transitioning to 6th grade

If possible, give your student a specific place to study and do homework

Help them with a system for tracking work from multiple classes (binder/folders, planner, etc.)

Encourage your student to practice estimating how long they think assignments will take

Help your student break big assignments into smaller, more manageable “chunks”

Stay as up to date as possible with your student’s classes, and communicate with their teachers when necessary

Make sure your student gets plenty of sleep, and limit screen time an hour before bed

Ask your child to spend a few minutes taking you through what they did during the day
