Old school papers, random lunch bits, and other things won't get a chance to stay at the bottom of a backpack this summer!

The school year is drawing to a close for many learners. That means projects and papers, crafts and clutter are on their way from the classroom home (or are needing to be cleared out from the homeschool space at home!). In this 25 minute class, learners will be coached through clearing out some of the old year's stuff. We'll eliminate the risk of finding old lunch bits at the bottom of a backpack! We will talk about which papers and projects can be recycled and which are actually special to us. We will also talk about what to do with the special things from the school year - how to keep them in a clutter-free way. This is a short class, where we will do the real work! Students should come ready with a garbage bag and a recycling bin. If you have a memory bin or storage system that your family uses for papers from the year, they should also have that ready to use. If not, we will talk about options for saving their special memories.
Learning Goals
Students will learn to take responsibility for their stuff, prioritize what to keep, and minimize clutter.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I am a teacher, a tutor and a mom from British Columbia, Canada. I currently am teaching full time in the public school system and enjoy tutoring and coaching part-time on Outschool as well.
As a child academics came very easily for me, but personal organization did not. I was the kind of kid who had a messy room and a messy desk, and later a messy locker, apartment and car! Kids who struggle with math or writing, often get support. Kids who struggle with life skills instead tend to get judged and treated like they are just lazy or don't care. I cared and my inability to figure out how to keep things tidy was frustrating, stressful and embarrassing!
I have studied and learned ways to work with my brain to get and keep things clean and organized. I love working with kids and teens who need a little extra encouragement, support and training in this area - and offer judgement-free, kindness based coaching for kids.
I really hope to get to meet and work with your children.Reviews
