Middle School Executive Functioning Lesson: Organization Skills, Grades 6-8

Where does a lost paper go? Usually into the bottom of a backpack. This organization skills lesson treats a mess as a missing home or a missing routine, and gives students one fix for each: One Home for Everything (every item gets one place and goes back there every time) and the Ten-Minute Reset (once a week, empty it, toss the trash, file the papers, refill supplies and look at next week's papers).
