The​ ​ Brooklawn​ ​ Buzz  September/October​ ​ edition​ ​ 2017    starts​ ​ around​ ​ November​ ​ and​ ​ ends​ ​ in December​ ​ or​ ​ January.​ ​ ​ In​ ​ order​ ​ to​ ​ play basketball​ ​ you​ ​ will​ ​ have​ ​ to​ ​ get​ ​ good grades​ ​ and​ ​ have​ ​ good​ ​ behavior​ ​ in​ ​ class. If​ ​ you​ ​ don’t​ ​ have​ ​ good​ ​ grades​ ​ or​ ​ good behavior​ ​ you​ ​ will​ ​ have​ ​ to​ ​ sit​ ​ out​ ​ on​ ​ the bench​ ​ during​ ​ games​ ​ and​ ​ stay​ ​ home during​ ​ practices.​ ​ For​ ​ more​ ​ information about​ ​ the​ ​ team​ ​ you​ ​ can​ ​ talk​ ​ to​ ​ Mr. Casey. Notes​ ​ on​ ​ Studying By:Sebastian​ ​ Correa    1.) Quiet​ ​ Place-​ ​ One​ ​ good​ ​ way​ ​ to study​ ​ is​ ​ to​ ​ find​ ​ a ​ ​ quiet​ ​ place​ ​ and just​ ​ try​ ​ to​ ​ memorize​ ​ everything you​ ​ need​ ​ to​ ​ know. 2.) Turn​ ​ on​ ​ some​ ​ music-​ ​ Music​ ​ will always​ ​ help​ ​ you​ ​ focus​ ​ and​ ​ tune out​ ​ the​ ​ world​ ​ around​ ​ you. 3.) Test​ ​ yourself-​ ​ Get​ ​ someone​ ​ or yourself​ ​ and​ ​ write​ ​ up​ ​ a ​ ​ little​ ​ test that​ ​ will​ ​ cover​ ​ all​ ​ subjects​ ​ of​ ​ the test​ ​ and​ ​ will​ ​ show​ ​ you​ ​ what​ ​ you need​ ​ to​ ​ study​ ​ more. 4.) Make​ ​ Flashcards-​ ​ If​ ​ you​ ​ are doing​ ​ a ​ ​ vocab​ ​ quiz​ ​ or​ ​ Math​ ​ facts quiz​ ​ it​ ​ is​ ​ always​ ​ a ​ ​ benefit​ ​ to​ ​ have flashcards​ ​ to​ ​ study​ ​ off​ ​ (Plus some​ ​ teachers​ ​ give​ ​ extra​ ​ credit). 5.) Make​ ​ a ​ ​ Study​ ​ Sheet-​ ​ If​ ​ the teacher​ ​ did​ ​ not​ ​ give​ ​ you​ ​ a ​ ​ review, make​ ​ one.​ ​ ​ You​ ​ just​ ​ need​ ​ to cover​ ​ the​ ​ correct​ ​ topics​ ​ and​ ​ study the​ ​ sheet​ ​ carefully. 5 Backpacks​ ​ for​ ​ Homeless In​ ​ October,​ ​ the​ ​ ACES​ ​ Community Service​ ​ Club​ ​ collected​ ​ and​ ​ donated backpacks​ ​ for​ ​ the​ ​ homeless.​ ​ ​ They​ ​ filled backpacks​ ​ with​ ​ supplies​ ​ such​ ​ as​ ​ water bottles,​ ​ toothpaste,​ ​ toothbrushes,​ ​ new gloves,​ ​ new​ ​ hats,​ ​ new​ ​ blankets,​ ​ socks, and​ ​ small​ ​ bags​ ​ of​ ​ chips​ ​ and​ ​ snacks. They​ ​ did​ ​ this​ ​ this​ ​ to​ ​ help​ ​ the​ ​ homeless in​ ​ the​ ​ ​ hope​ ​ to​ ​ make​ ​ a ​ ​ difference​ ​ in​ ​ their lives. !Popular​ ​ Halloween Costumes!
