Studies show that students should begin to learn organization and study skills in the early elementary grades. Studies also prove that most successful students learned the importance of being prepared during their elementary school years. Disorganized students have a hard time keeping track of their materials and due dates. This lack of organizational skills can be easily fixed by providing students with a few strategies to keep them on track. I will hold small groups for students that struggle with studying and lack organizational skills. The small groups are called STEP UP to Better Grades. STEP UP to Better Grades small groups are 8 Sessions that teach students Good Study Habits. I would like to purchase each student a daily planner for organizing assignments and planning for due dates. Additionally, daily planners can be used to sketch out homework, playtime, and club meetings. I believe that when students commit to STEP UP they will make better grades therefore, becoming academically successful.
