GETTING THE RIGHT MATERIALS IN YOUR THREE RING NOTEBOOK

You need a three ring notebook with: a pencil bag, several pencils, 2 each blue or black pens, a six inch ruler, good eraser, red or green pen, 3 quarter and 2 dimes; an assignment book that is three hole punched...use the school one if give to you; two-pocket divider one labeled "completed homework" and the other "homework to do"; subject divider for each subject, and on the back write the name and phone number of two students you can call if there is a problem with you homework; a flat, notebook sized three hole punch; extra paper; and another two-pocket divider, one labeled "papers for parents to sign" and the other for items to be three hole punched later.

CREATING YOUR OWN SPACE

You and your parents will have to decide where is the best place for you to study, whether in your room at your desk or table, or the dining room.

You still will need a place to keep supplies. You will need: a chair that lets your feet touch the floor; a light; clock; paper, lined, graph, and unlined; ruler; 3 hole punch, and bunch of pencils, pens and high lighters; and index cards.

You probably will need the following: dictionary or thesaurus (book or electronic); stapler and staples; scissors; multi-colored construction paper; glue; and a plastic box for filing or a plastic milk crate for hanging files.

RESPONSIBILITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY

Each day, you are to write down the assignment for each class. Each day, you will review the homework assignment with you parents. (See Helping your Struggling with School Work at Home.)
