My Project encourages students to become better organized and better prepared for classes. Students will use all materials to organize and annotate guidebooks for English. Students will learn to better effective organize class work. In my twenty years as an educator, I have observed that students often struggle with organizing supplies, class work, and other activities. I try my best to help students become better organized to keep up with their work. I have often included parents to help me with starting a system with students to help them arrange their work and book bags. We can do this! We just need a little help with it!
