project due dates, reading deadlines, and assignments (We can print this for you, just ask!)

activities* Do a weekly backpack organization and cleanout.

Check binders and folders to be sure it contains only the subject that is labeled

* Consider using a “homework” folder for things that need to be completed and returned
