Got Materials?

Of course, we all know that being organized and prepared for learning is essential for success.  Here's a list of the items that my students are responsible for bringing to ELA class every day:

1.  ELA Binder
2.  Reader's Notebook
3.  IRP Folder
4.  Independent Reading Book
5.  Writer's Notebook
6.  Pen or Pencil
7.  Computer
8.  Agenda book (optional)

It's a lot to remember... so I put this poster (list with images) in the hallway for a quick reference.  I also keep a list of these materials on my white board and make a mini version of it available for students to hang in their lockers if they choose.

What strategies do you use to help students with executive functioning skills?
