Welcome back!!  Hope you had an awesome Christmas break!

It's January and that can only mean one thing....curling!!  Let's get some great teams out there to represent Major School this year!

Don't forget that exams are just around the corner.  We will be posting the exam schedule once it's ready. 

While midterms/finals are a few weeks away, it’s not too early to begin to review your notes and work on those last minute assignments. Here are some pointers for how to improve your study skills:
-Don’t just read over your notes from class…rewrite them in simpler and more organized ways….you can remember up to 30% more than just looking at them.
-Use cue cards, or coloured paper to sort notes into common groups.
-Use pictures or word associations to help remember definitions or other memory work…for example, you can remember that Robert Service wrote the Cremation of Sam McGee by thinking of a funeral service for Sam.
-Turn your studying into a game by using flash cards or trivia questions with a friend.
Remember, good marks don’t just happen…you need to have a game plan that includes studying,listening and participating in class, and energizing yourself with healthy food, exercise, and sleep. You can do it!
