Organization

This morning we are struggling with helping Laura to be organized. It may sound like a small thing, but she is having a tough time with this at school. She has a lot of responsibility juggling seven classes. This is a tough academic school and she is holding her own, but barely because she forgets to bring stuff home. This morning, we talked about a writing things on her white board that we bought for her locker. Last night, she and Tom got a food project together. She had to bring in edible atoms for science class. They got everything together, placed it in a bag on the kitchen counter, with a note that reminded her to get the icing out of the fridge. The icing was to hold all of the atoms together. This morning, I had to hand her the bag as she was forgetting it. I didn't see the note and she forgot the icing. It is stuff like this every day. If anyone has any suggestions or words of advise, let us know.

Maybe she needs to make a list of things to do in the morning at night before bed. That way in the hurry and scurry of things in the morning she won't forget
