Begin your success with a 2 to 3 inch ring binder with 14 dividers added
For each class section you will have two dividers:
•one labeled graded papers
•one labeled class notes
Your pencil bag should include:
2-3 pencils 2-3 black/blue pens large eraser glue stick map pencils highlighter
As you enter each class:
1. Get out your agenda and write down class work and homework that your teacher has on the board or overhead.
2.Some students get teachers’ initials at the end of each class.
3.Your agenda is a great place for information to be exchanged between parents and teachers.
For organization, a Braves agenda spiral is essential.
How can teachers help students be successful in their organization?
Hole-punch all papers that are passed out.
Allow several minutes for students to organize during class.
Be repetitive with directions.
Have high expectations.
