š  Organize binders at least once a week.  Clean out and throw away anything that is unnecessary.  Ask the teacher if there is uncertainty regarding papers being needed or tossed.

š  Organize and clean out the school locker at least twice a month.

š  Develop a “Homework Folder,” if homework is getting misplaced or not turned in once completed.  One side of the folder can be “Work To Be Completed” – work for that evening.  The other side of the folder can be labeled “Homework To Be Turned In.”  If there are papers left on this side of the folder at the end of the school day, go to see the teacher.

š  Be certain to learn, and know, the teacher’s recommendations for organizing materials (i.e. binders for each section - A.M. binder and P.M. binder).  If there are no set requirements for the team, develop a system for yourself to maintain organization of content area materials.
