Beat the Clock: Ongoing Bedroom Cleaning Club.
Class experience
Kids who struggle with keeping things neat, tidy and organized don't always find the encouragement or support as kids who struggle academically. Think of this class as tutoring for kids who need extra help getting and keeping things tidy! This group will be a judgement free zone. I was the kid who had a messy room and a messy desk. I know how frustrating it can be to just not be naturally tidy. So, with empathy and kindness (and humour and fun too), I teach a simple and consistent process...
Students will learn how to break down overwhelming tasks into manageable pieces, and make immediate progress in getting any messy space clean.
Learners will need a garbage bag, and a spot to put their recyclables (bag, bin, box etc). We will also discuss donation/handing items down and we will chose items to declutter (with parent permission). Students should have a box or bag available for those items they intend to declutter. Students may also choose to play their own music while working in their own space, but I will not use a group playlist as that has proven distracting to some students in the past. If a student plans to have music on in their own space, they should have a playlist or CD ready so that they are not spending class time figuring out what music to listen to!
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
We will occasionally make reference to experts in the area of home management (decluttering, organizing etc) and may show short video clips relevant to our topic of the week.
