School's Group Projects

"OK, class. Count off by fives."

When your teacher gives you that instruction, you know what's coming next. Sometimes, breaking into small groups lasts as long as the class does. Other times, it signals the start of a "group project" — which means you will be working with a few classmates for a day, several days, or longer on an assignment.

Ever wondered why this type of project is so popular in school? Or what you can do to make sure your group project is fair, fun, and successful? You want a good grade, right?

Why Group Projects?

Few of us act alone in the real world. Most things are done with the help or ideas of other people. Group projects are great practice for high school, college, and real life, when you will probably have a job that requires working with others. Right now, group projects can be fun and they often allow you to do a bigger, more interesting project than you could alone. With group work, you can actually learn more in less time.

Group projects also give you a chance to get to know kids you might not otherwise know or talk with — maybe the quiet kid in the third row, the boy who lived down the street when you were in kindergarten, or the girl you are sometimes scared to say "hi" to at recess.

Group projects are also a great way to practice skills you are not so sure of. For example: working on a deadline, staying organized, or being patient. And if you are a little nervous talking in front of a group, a joint project can help you become more comfortable with it.

If You Hate the School It's Your Bad Start

What if you hate school by the end of day one? Teachers recommend giving things some time to sort themselves out - once you know your way around the building and get adjusted to the new routine, you'll probably feel better. If those feelings don't fade, talk to your mom, dad, teacher, or school counselor.

Here are a few final tips for a fantastic first day:

a. Get enough sleep.
b. Eat a healthy breakfast.
c. Try your best.

d. Develop good work habits, like writing down your assignments and turning in your homework on time.

e. Take your time with schoolwork. If you don't understand something, ask the teacher.

f. Keep a sense of humor. One teacher we know shows his new students a picture of himself graduating high school - a grinning ape in a red graduation cap and gown. This usually makes the kids laugh, and it's a good way to remind them that school is fun!

Just Feel Good on Day One

Seeing friends you have not seen in a while can make the first day a good one. You also can make the day feel special by wearing an outfit you like. Maybe you got a great T-shirt on vacation, or your new sneakers put a spring in your step. If you wear a uniform, you might wear a favorite watch or piece of jewelry to show your personal style.

It can make you feel good to be prepared and have all the supplies you need. Some schools distribute supply lists before the year begins, so you can come stocked up on pencils, folders, and whatever else you will be needing. Once you have covered the basics, you might tuck an extra dollar or two in your backpack for an emergency (like forgetting your lunch money). Or maybe you would like to bring along a book or magazine to read while you're on the bus.

Whatever you put in your backpack, make sure you pack it the night before. This prevents the morning panic when you can not find your homework or lunch box. Speaking of lunch, that is something else that can help you feel good at school - whether it's the first day or the 100th day. Pack it the night before if you do not like what is on the menu at the cafeteria. Try to include a variety of foods in your packed lunch, especially fruits and vegetables.

Just Get Oriented:

The first day of school is your first chance to find your way around a new school, or learn the pathways to new classes in your old school. It's a lot to learn in one day, so do not be surprised if you need a reminder or two.

It might help to write a few notes to yourself, so you'll remember the important stuff, like your locker combination and that lunch starts at 11:43, not 12:10. Before you know it, your fingers will fly as you open your locker and you won't have to check your notes to know what time lunch starts!
