 * **Februray 10th**: Last week the middle school teachers began PROJECT ORGANIZATION! We began by requiring all students to have their agendas in class for all subjects. At the end of every subject we are working to write a line of what was achieved or assigned in that subjects. Students will then check off the item if it was completed, or write that the item is for homework. This will help students remember what was accomplished in class and better prepare themselves to take homework home. On Friday, we spent a portion of our day cleaning out lockers and organizing student binders. We are encouraging students to always place loose papers in the appropriate part of their binders and to not remove papers to do their work, as we are finding that students are then losing their work. Once these routines are established, we will start helping students get organized at the end of the day to bring all materials home for homework assignments. You can assist your children by checking their agendas, asking about assignments and praising them when their materials are organized and ready to go.
 * **February 4th:** Today we started a new routine for our middle school students. For each class, students will be required to write down what we did and then idicate if it is for homework or finished. This will allow them to be prepared to take homework home and allow parents to see what we have worked on throughout the day.
