Tip of the Week
Choose it and use it
Color coded folders. 1-inch binders for each class. A 3-inch binder with dividers. A separate homework folder. Accordion folders. A zipper binder that holds it all.
Of the many ways to organize, one method is not inherently better than another. Systems work. The question to answer is “What system makes sense to me?” Help your child think through the various options, make a choice, and put it into action. Then set up weekly organizational check-ins to ensure they stay on top of it.
