My students face on a daily basis the challenge of disorganization, and it is impeding their academic progress. Many of them have the habit of throwing their supplies and assignments into the large pocket of their backpacks instead of giving them a proper place. They often rummage through their backpacks looking for their homework, are unprepared for class, leave things at school and home, or forget what assignments they need to complete, and procrastinate. Disorganization increases the potential for students to receive lower grades, complete fewer assignments, be less motivated, experience greater frustration with school and may affect their self-esteem. By donating to our project, my students will be supplied with the necessary materials to ensure a successful intervention that will help them develop organization skills. I wish to provide every one of my students with a red homework folder and an English binder where all their journal prompts, reading, and writing material could be easily organized. The binders will have a pouch where they could store their writing tools and earbuds. The earbuds will be very helpful when listening to stories on audio or viewing research videos. Some of my students do not have the means to buy the materials needed to help them stay organized, while others may not have the materials because they have not been taught the importance of being organized. My students need a comprehensive program specifically focusing on organization in order to help them achieve at their greatest potential. It is my goal to teach my students the skills they need to be organized, and provide consistent reinforcement and re-education throughout the school year to make those skills concrete and habitual. With your support, my students will learn organization skills that will help them become successful scholars.
