For your consideration-

One of the most important skills that your child can establish is organization. When students are organized, they get better grades, they are less frustrated, and they have more time for recreation, friends and family. Yet in the middle grades, organization can appear to be one of the most daunting tasks that you may face. Here are a few tips that parents can use to help.

those skills sure came in handy.

I do have a few left over items from the Sea World trip--a blue sleeping
bag with blue and yellow plaid liner, a stuffed walrus and a small stuffed
orca. If these sound familiar to you, ask your child to come by my office
