If you ever wanted to have insight (领悟) into how you can succeed in school, you’re in luck. Here are some tips to help you succeed this school year. They are provided by teachers and administrators (管理者) who work in schools on Long Island, New York, the US.

Use a calendar or chart. “Hang a calendar on your refrigerator”, said Margarita a teacher from Jackson Avenue School. She suggested writing down special assignments, birthdays, events and activities to help you remember. You can also draw a heart or other shapes on the joyful days you have spent

A book is a treat. Visit the bookstore or library every few weeks to find a new book to read on your own, recommended Lori, a teacher at Summit Lane School. “The more kids get excited about reading on their own, the more their self-esteem (自信) will rise. They’ll also be better equipped to deal with challenging homework assignments.” The ability of finishing reading a book is acquired by practising reading before one becomes a grown-up.

Unplug for success. “Families should have a no-electronics (电子产品) period where everyone turns off their devices (设备),” said Angela English teacher at Wisdom Lane Middle School. “This way family members can spend time together playing games. It’s amazing how you can reconnect with yourself and others when you're not distracted by technology.” Not to mention that it can also do good to your neck, shoulders and spine.

Stay current. “Stay up-to-date on current events,” said Matthew Crichton, a social studies teacher in New York. “Take a current events article and look at the history of the event. Knowing more about the world benefits a lot.”

There are only two seasons in some countries—the dry season and the rainy season. They are India, Vietnam and some countries in Africa. It’s never cold there and it doesn’t snow. In the dry season it is as warm as it is in the rainy season. When it is the dry season, it doesn’t rain at all. It’s very, very hot. All grass and leaves in the trees are yellow. Animals and people are very thirsty. It is a very difficult time for them! When it is the rainy season, the rain doesn’t stop: it rains day and night. There is a lot of water around! Some animals like it but some don’t.
