Have you noticed any of these with your child?​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
- Panic attacks​​​​​​​​
- Cramming for a test​​​​​​​​
- Messy backpack​​​​​​​​
- Lacking confidence​​​​​​​​
- Not turning in homework​​​​​​​​
- Grades dropping​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
There are many "warning signs" parents may encounter on the academic journey. Of course, some of these are more serious than others and need digging into quickly. However, If you see more than 1 of these signs, you might want to talk to the teacher, or the counselor at school, for some more guidance. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
I can say from experience, it's never fun watching your child work through any one of these. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
👍I'm here to help however I can, just reach out.​​​​​​​​

Course Questionnaire: Student Essentials

HEY PARENTS…

🎉You requested, and I listened. 🎉

I've created a quick google form questionnaire to...

➡️ Grab your input on a course I am creating to help students succeed in school.

This will just take a minute and would mean the world to me!

THANK YOU!!!!

Course Questionnaire: Student Essentials This won't take long, and I really appreciate your input!

Did you know....

There are 3️⃣ main learning styles?

I'll admit, others will say there are more but in all my years of working with students, I have found it comes down to the basic 3!

Which one does your child fall into?

Head to my bio for the quiz 🔗 (link) or go to www.thesavvystudent.net to find out your child's secret success ingredient (learning style).

✏️ Every child learns differently, so it's important to know HOW your child's brain likes to learn.

Knowing this information (most likely not taught in your school system) can help your child know which learning strategies to utilize, be more efficient, more productive, and raise grades 🎉.
Who doesn't like that?

Hope this helps!

💙 WOW! WOW! WOW!​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
I am beyond thankful and grateful to win this award!​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Three years ago at a Gateway Conference, God put The Savvy Student, LLC on my heart. I remember sitting down in a quiet area for 2 hours doing a brain dump of all the thoughts flooding my mind. At the time, I had no idea how I was going to make this idea come to life. All I knew was that God showed me a direction, and I listened.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Over the past several years, The Savvy Student, LLC has helped so many students from many different school districts and private schools. I have loved watching all of the students evolve into better students! In addition, many students have soared after implementing the strategies they have learned during the Study Skills Program. These eager students are not only earning better grades but also building a wonderful resume for their college/ trade school applications! ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
As always, if you know of a student that is struggling in school or a parent looking for help, feel free to tag them (or DM them) my information. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Again, THANK YOU for your trust with your student(s).​​​​​​​​

Active Listening/ Active Listener ...​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Active listening is a term used to describe a practice of someone who is tuned in fully and receiving the information being given. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
A student who is an active listener is typically very noticeable. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
3 Body Language Cues Of An Active Listener:​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
1. Sitting up in the chair​​​​​​​​
2. Nodding in agreement or making head gestures​​​​​​​​
3. Has expression ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Since simply attending class is a very passive learning activity, it is extremely important to be an active listener to gain as much information as possible.​​​​​​​​

🎉Excited To Help!

I love that the Youth Director, Callie, reached out to me asking if I could share some study tips with the youth at Couts United Methodist Church!

Yes! Yes! & Yes!

God gave me insight into this need several years ago, and we have been marching forward ever since.

Students are struggling and lacking these critical skills! I have helped students from 4th grade through college level, and they have all walked away with numerous tips and strategies that they had not been taught before. 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

Success!!!

It’s truly my pleasure to help provide students with these strategies!

Crush This School Year!​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Crushing the year involves 2 parts:​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
1. Understanding the material in class ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
2. Understanding what it takes to be a good student & learn how to earn high(er) grades.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
I help with the #2. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Schools are so swamped trying to keep up with the curriculum, and most teachers do not have time to focus on the second part. I focus all my time on it.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Reach out to start this year off strong!​​​​​​​​

Study Smarter!​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Did you know...🤔​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
The way each of us learns best is determined by our learning style.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
🎯 Once determined, we can uncover tips & tricks to make the best use of your study time for deeper retention!​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
🎉 Gotta love that!​​​​​​​​

An Easy Way To....

🎯 Boost Productivity:

1. Clean your study area
2. Go for a walk before starting
3. Eat a healthy snack after school
4. Drink more water throughout the day
5. Take a 15 minute power nap
6. Cut back sugar to avoid the sugar highs and lows
7. Take a break every 30 minutes
8. Include high-achieving activities
9. Prioritize the tasks
10. Listen to motivational music
11. Study effectively
12. Avoid distractions

We all get into the mindset of "just get it finished" from time to time. However, when we are simply going through the motions and rushing through the task at hand, productivity usually suffers.

⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

In contrast, if we take a few minutes to prepare our minds and plan the study session, the outcome is usually a desirable one. Productivity increases and retention is much better. 👏

Give these a try and let me know what you think.

♡ Be Savvy!

Thank you for the like and add! Unfortunately, my accounts were hacked; therefore, Facebook shut down my personal and business page. Safety nets are now in place, and it should not happen again.

Please share the page with someone you know as we try to rebuild and reach more students in need of sharpening their study habits to make this an outstanding school year.

Summertime Solutions: The Benefits of Unstructured Play | Parenting…

💯%! Unstructured play is essential for kiddos!!

What was your favorite thing to do/play as a kid? I loved to play in the woods! 🤷‍♀️🤣 Hide-n-seek and building forts were on the top of the list. Who knows how I never had a snake bite!

Summertime Solutions: The Benefits of Unstructured Play | Parenting… Feel free to shed the guilt of creating the “perfect summer.” Research shows that unstructured play is one of the best ways to help your kids learn and grow during the summer months.

WPL is extremely pleased to introduce...the new Love Street Story Path at Love Street Park!! As you walk, you will see pages from a story installed along the trail. By the time you complete a lap, you will get the entire story. Some pages have bonus activities to do between stations, and the stories will be changed out regularly--so bring the kids and walk often!

We would like to give big thanks to the Weatherford Parks, Recreation, and Special Events Department for allowing us to add this park feature, for installing the story stations, and for help getting the first story ready to go (Tyler Herndon!).

This project is made possible by a grant from the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services and Texas State Library and Archives Commission (Grant # TXR-22006).* (2022)

Parent Tip

As parents, it’s important we do everything we can to raise confident children.

Having confidence leads to greater student success and involvement in school. 🙌🏻🙌🏻

💙 Let’s Create A Savvy Student Together.

School Routine...​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
A routine is always the best approach to accomplishing more instead of just "going with the flow."​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
I always tell my student to grab a snack and take 30 minutes to relax and reset. Then, get busy. 🙌​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Study time AND homework time should be part of the evening routine. These two things accomplish different goals after school; therefore, both are needed.💯% Study time is working on the hardest subject by reworking notes into a different format, making flashcards, outlining a chapter for deeper comprehension and so forth. Homework time is simply doing what the teacher has assigned.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Does your student do both after school?​​​​​​​​
