How to Organize Your Backpack:
How to Organize Your Backpack:
- Find a good open space to tackle this job.
- Dump EVERYTHING out of your backpack - yes, EVERYTHING!
- Make 3 piles - turn in to teacher, recycle, and keep for projects/assignments/tests.
- Take the "turn in to teacher" pile to your teacher immediately!
- Put the "recycle" pile in the recycle bin.
- Now, split up the "keep for projects/assignments/tests" pile by teacher.
- Decide how you want to store your papers - folders, binders, or accordion file.
- If in folders or accordion file, you just need to put the papers inside...ideally the most current stuff in front.
- If in binders, you need to punch holes and fit it into the binder...ideally the most current stuff in front.
- If in binders and you want to be really organized, use dividers to break up your sections into notes, homework, tests, etc.
