What's included
Class Experience
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. This is a great opportunity to do a class as an entire family! 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. 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
Learning Goals
The goal is to learn decluttering step-by-step and end with a tidy space at the end of the month. Feel free to sign up one child and then use the materials for the entire family.
The students will learn organizational lifeskills that will benefit them though life at both home and work. Learners will also spend a small amount of time each week thinking about what they are learning and how it may work in other parts of their lives.
The journal entries will give them an opportunity to put their thoughts into writing.
Students will learn that taking a large task and breaking it up into small parts make the process less overwhelming and easier to understand.
