Thanksgiving

     Most years at Thanksgiving, all of my family and relatives would celebrate together. We used to do it at my grandmother's house in Lake Stevens, but now we celebrate at my house, since my grandmother moved to Ocean Shores. We would always have a big lunch with turkey, pies, and much more. One of my favorite things that we eat at Thanksgiving is fruit salad. There is usually a football game on that we watch while we eat. Also, in the morning, my dad plays in what we call the Turkey Bowl, in which my dad plays football with some people in our church. However, we will not be gathering together this year. There are a lot of older people in our family, and we do not want to risk anyone getting COVID-19. We are not doing the Turkey Bowl either. This year, my family (that is, my parents and siblings) will be staying at home and eating a smaller lunch. My mom is making a special banana pudding for dessert. She also made some cupcakes. The cupcakes were meant to look like little turkeys, but it didn't go well. Since no one is coming over for Thanksgiving, the house is already decorated for Christmas.

How To Prepare For Exams

     In the month leading up to your final exams, make sure that you are caught up on all of your assigned work. Remember to take very thorough notes. Do not cram all of your studying until the last second. Instead, study from 60-90 minutes each day. Creating and completing a mock test is very helpful as well. You can do this by looking in your textbooks for questions that didn't get answered in your class. Try to complete your mock test without using your textbook or notes. Try not to multitask while you are studying. If you have any questions about what will be on the test, remember to ask your teacher for help.      https://www.stlawu.edu/academic-support/how-should-i-prepare-tests-and-final-exams

Good Test Taking Habits

     When you are about to take a test or quiz, make sure to be prepared. Study for the test beforehand will help to make sure you know the material, and getting a good night's sleep will help you to better retain the information. As the teacher is handing out the test, listen closely for any instruction, so you know what is expected of you. When you get the test, read over it first so you know how long long it is. If you read through something that you don't understand, ask the teacher about it. Make sure to stay calm and relax if you are stuck on a question; chances are that the answer will come back to you. If that doesn't work, skip over the question and come back to it later. Once you are done, look over the test again and see if you missed any questions or if you made any obvious mistakes. https://kidshealth.org/en/teens/testing-tips.htm https://quizlet.com/_8saxs8?x=1qqt&i=35bn8e https://create.kahoot.it/v2/details/30de90b7-237c-4ebd-b13e-d7c7f35ad97b
