Tips from the Trenches!
So many students have trouble with organization and getting homework done! Wow! It is challenging to keep all those papers in the right folder or in the right place in a binder or accordian file. As you check the teachers' blogs with your children at the same time, it will help you, as well as, your children to acknowledge what has to be done and how long they have to do it.
Making a schedules on a 3x5 card of all the due dates and what is due, next to the date will help.
Another idea is printing out a calendar page from your Word-type program and then filling it in by hand or on the computer and then printing it out is also helpful. Using different colored highlighters for different subjects will draw your child's eye to the paper and help him/her refer to material due for each subject. Printing out the calendar in a color will help the student keep track of the paper and inserted in a plastic sleeve and clipped in a binder would be excellent:)
Packing up material the night before and going over the calendar each night will only be advantageous to you and your child.
Have a great week!
