These organization strategies can help kids build the skills they need to stay neat — or at least neatish! -There are always a couple students each year who really struggle to stay organized. Maybe you notice this characteristic in your own children. Messy desks and work areas, can’t locate things, have difficulty getting organized for class,  often don’t have the tools they need for the day or forget homework, are unaware of deadlines, have trouble prioritizing or planning to complete activities, and perhaps this causes them to be unfocused. -Here are a few tips to help support these students and relieve them of the stresses around becoming organised.  It can be a frustration for child, parents and teacher, and can often impact on instruction time, while they struggle to find supplies and books. -This is a 27 page PDF download, which will has strategies, templates and posters that you can use to help students to become organised in the classroom and doing their work at home. This eBook will help to relieve some of the stresses around unpacking assignments, planning, prioritizing and organizing their time. -There are some fabulous links that students will find incredibly engaging and useful. The poster images are simple yet the strategies demonstrated in them are effective in helping students to get organized in their work habits. -For many of our students who may be diagnosed ADD or ADHD, this can be a very challenging area.

Are you looking for a resource that will help your students to develop goal setting and growth mindset through reflection and self monitoring? This resource is designed to be used over the course of a year, so that there is a record of self evaluation taken by students throughout the year.  Self reflection and monitoring are skills that we all need for life. This resource will engage your students throughout the school year, and at the end they have a record of achievements and changes that they have made as they have grown. Developing a positive mindset amongst your students is such an important and integral part of the hidden curriculum, but basic to all of our daily lives. It is not a skill that comes easily and one that needs to be explicitly taught and fostered to enable your students to build a positive mindset. This can be added to your students portfolio as a record of achievements and for reflection. Photocopy extra pages as needed, and I hope that this resource serves you well throughout the year.

This set of cards and teacher notes contains 24 Scenario cards with blank multicultural faces on them. They can be used laminated as playdough mats or to draw on with whiteboard markers. Googly eyes also work really well with this activity and a lot of fun (eye not included) You can use them as discussion starters shown on the whiteboard and discuss how each character would be feeling What would their faces look like? How would their eyes look? Would they have wrinkles on their forehead? Why or why not? How would their mouth look?I have included smaller versions of the cards so that students could use these in barrier games where one child makes a face, and then has to describe to a partner what their face looks like (there is a book or screen between them) This is a wonderful activity for talking and listening.
