Declutter- 30 Day Challenge, Ages 13-18 (Flex-schedule)

Students will log on daily to get their decluttering tip or task.  This is a flexible class with no set meeting time, so the students may log on at a time that suits them.  The teacher will be available for questions/concerns/suggestions by email.  Every day a daily task will be assigned for the students to do in their room that should not take more than 15 minutes.  (except under the bed day!)  

On Fridays, they will have a journal entry question. These weekly questions/thought prompts will allow the learners to really think about what they are trying to accomplish and what they are learning in the class.  They will journal these thoughts and can share with the group if they want.  The journal entries can be made public or can be kept private--they are not graded in this class, this is to reflect on topics such as 'getting rid of old toys' that may be hard for some to do.  Students should plan to comment on other learner's journal entries.  Once a week, we will have Declutter Challenges- fun contests that will help get our rooms cleaned up. 

Weekly pictures are encouraged so we can help each other stay on track and celebrate our successes.  Students are encouraged to chat with one another about the process or other topics that might come up as well as congratulate others on getting all tasks done each week.  

Broad Schedule:
Week 1- The things people don't see:  drawers, closets
Week 2- Those hiding places:  under furniture
Week 3- What about those shelves?
Week 4- Putting it all together
