https://www.metrokids.com/8-tips-for-elementary-school-success/

1. Think Long Term: We know students need to learn reading, writing and math skills in elementary school, but to succeed throughout their school years, the two things they really need to know are study skills and how to learn.

2. Have the Right Attitude: If you want your children to be interested in their school, you have to be interested in their school and in the subjects they are studying

3. Communicate: It is critically important to build a relationship with your children’s teachers

4. Stick to Routines: In the morning, make sure your children wake up at a consistent time every day and eat breakfast. Strive for consistency in their nighttime routine too.

5. Support Strengths: Recognize and encourage strengths

6. Be a Reading and Writing Role Mode: It’s important to show students that adults use reading and writing skills every day.

7. Demonstrate Relevance: Help your children see that what they learn in school is useful and relevant to their life.

8. Support Homework Independence: Have a pre-homework chat to summarize assignments and to review directions. After this brief meeting, slip away, but check back later to see if there are any questions or problems.

Students are learning a variety of strategies to use when multiplying multi-digit numbers. These videos may help with each strategy.
