Sixth Grade

Resources for Sixth Graders and Their Parents
Getting Organized:  Summarized from San Diego Union Tribune

• At home:
  Kids need all kinds of paper for school. Notebook paper, graphing
  paper, printer paper, construction paper, etc. Put papers in a
  filing container that can be labeled and sorted according to where
  each type of paper is stored.
• At school:
  Place small, permanent labels with child’s name on all supplies.
• At home and school: Create a color-coded labeling system for each subject.
  Label notebook tabs, computer discs, etc. with this system.
• At home and school: Have a different colored folder for each class and label
  it appropriately.
• At home:
  Have a file tray on the kitchen counter where the child can place
  papers that need to be signed, important forms, permission slips,
  notes from school, etc.
• At home:
  Create a refridgerator gallery. Use magnets to put on the refridgerator
  that can be used for artwork, positive notes from school, and
  other pieces to praise the child.
