Keep Your Middle Schooler Organized
My youngest stomped into the living room last Monday and dumped his pack on the floor.
- "How was school?"
- "Great! I only have math homework."
- I paused "Are you sure?"
- "Absolutely. Nothing else. I asked my friend, too."
- Didn't you have Spanish today?"
- "Oh yeah, he gave us a worksheet to do. And we started our new technology class today. It looks great."
- "Don't you usually have a syllabus or something to sign when you start a class?"
- :"Oh yeah, I forgot. I need you to sign two papers."
- "It's Monday. Didn't you have a letter you had to write in class today in Language Arts? Do I need to sign it?"
- "Yeah."
- "And spelling due Thursday?"
- "Uhuh. She handed out a sheet."
- "Your social studies teacher sent me a copy of your study guide for your test Friday."
- "But that's not due until Thursday!"
