You Must Get Organized Today…

Whether you choose to use a program such as my www.OrganizingSkillsForStudents.com program or choose to do it on your own, it’s very important that today’s students are organized.  

A quick way to help out a disorganized child is to assign a time, perhaps once a week, where all backpacks, notebooks, and desk drawers are emptied of junk.  In addition, supplies should be examined to see if they need to be replaced. 

A huge problem in today’s classrooms is the fact that students are often unprepared with basic supplies such as paper and pencils.  While you certainly don’t want to break the bank buying supplies, I can assure you that if your child doesn’t have the correct supplies, this will cause them to struggle in school. 

When I tutor students who are disorganized, they often have no idea where their notes and homework are located.  At minimum, notebooks should have a section for each of the following:

Notes

Homework

Tests/Quizzes

Extra Paper

and Supplies

Having separate sections that are NEATLY labeled will increase the likelihood that you, or your child, will be more prepared in school.  It only takes a little effort to reorganize notebooks so they don’t start to become a waste basket instead of a vital tool for school.   My program has a neat video which show parents and students how to become organized quickly and easily, even if they are currently very messy.  Believe me, If I could overcome my intrinsic “neatness” issues, virtually any student can!
