As we gear up for back to school, we have multiple changes
coming in our household…more on that in a later post. For now, however, my youngest son has been
waiting all summer to be a guest blogger at Learning to Muse because he is keen
on organization and order and wants to share his tips with everyone. In fact, he
likes to remind the rest of the family--“when something is messy—clean it up so
you can find the things you need more easily.

When you are organized it can help you learn because if you
know order you will find items more easily and you will be able to be prepared.
- purchase items from the
back to school supply list and check them off
- put the biggest items on
the bottom, and put the smaller items on top (see picture)
- use folders for storing
all homework and important papers
- use composition notebooks
for writing how-to pieces, stories and spelling words
- use spiral notebooks
because of the lined paper which helps you keep papers together so you
won’t lose them, and you can even write letters to your teacher about what
you are reading
- use Ticonderoga pencils so
when you write a lot in your composition notebook, your hands will not
hurt
- use a ruler to help
measure in math
- read books all summer so
you can be a better reader
