HELPFUL HINTS Minimize

It is often a good idea to set up a special storage box in your home that contains materials that your student might need for any of his classes. Some things to consider placing in the box would be:

  • USB/FLASH DRIVE - to save work being done on the computers
  • EXTRA PENS, PENCILS,
  • COLORED PENCILS AND PENS
  • MARKERS: THICK and/or THIN
  • SCOTCH and MASKING TAPE
  • OLD MAGAZINES
  • HOLE PUNCH: SINGLE or 3 HOLE
  • EXTRA FOLDERS
  • EXTRA FILLER PAPER with the holes

Another helpful hint:

COLOR CODING IS A GOOD TOOL: MATCHING BINDERS, FOLDERS, ect

HAVE YOUR STUDENT PACK THEIR

BAG THE NIGHT BEFORE TO PREVENT RUSHING IN THE Morning
