the working notebook is the daily notebook taken to class. it hold all the papers and information needed each day. any three ring binder can serve as a working notebook the nylon zippered type tends to last longer. your working notebook should contain:


  • a portable three hole punch 
  • a zippered pouch with three holes to hold highlights, pencils, pens, clips, "sticky notes" and other small supplies
  • a monthly calender 
  • a ruler 
  • section dividers for each subject labeled homework, notes, handouts and quizzes/test
these items are available at most office supply stores in a three hole punched format so they can be easily inserted into the notebook. this is important because if the items are not attached to the notebook, they will get lost in backpack or left at home or school.

one working notebook for all of your child's classes might be too large for some students especially if they are in high school. two medium size notebooks with two or three subjects in each is an alternative tio one large notebook. morning classes might be placed in one and afternoon classes might be placed in another.

whichever alternative note about that you choose the important thing is that on daily basis you should date
three hole punch and file any his school papers under the appropiate divider for each subject. you should also note assignments in details in his assignment books.

Cool Under Pressure 6 of 10

Cool Under Pressure
6 of 10
Very few students enjoy taking test. Yet functioning well under pressure is crucial to your future success. Try thinking of pressure of testing as practice for the work world’s own explosive situations. You could someday find yourself meeting tight deadlines, speaking with irate customers, wielding a scalpel or handling dangerous chemicals.
The best way to curtail pressure and to even eliminate it is to prepare. Applying the motto “Be Prepared” holds true first time and every time.
Prepare for that test, and you won’t worry about it. In fact, it will be your chance to shine, to reveal the hard work you have out into preparing for the test. You will be rewarded for the effort you have thrust into your studies. Preparation removes fear. When you are prepared, you will not fear. Preparation helps you maintain your cool under pressure. Preparation generates energy and enthusiasm; therefore, prepare and your coolness under pressure is sure to abound.

Research with Attitude
Conduct your research with the attitude of a skeptic. As you examine websites for clues that they’re trustworthy, ask these questions:
·        Who wrote the Web page? If you can’t identify the individual or organization responsible for the information, don’t use it.
·        What are the author’s qualifications for writing on the subject?
·        Has the article passed through an editorial process designed to ensure quality and accuracy?
·        What is the website’s purpose? Look for motives – like selling products or winning votes
