Lost Property
The school lost property is out of control - we can hardly shut the lid at night. Room 5 children are definitely not innocent! Our bag room is terrible! Clothing, books & lunch boxes spread everywhere. I do the best I can and I have established little routines to help the kids put away their belongings but I just can't spend learning time doing it for them.
24 jerseys, 48 sandals, 24 lunchboxes, 24 drink bottles, 24 towels, 24 togs, 24 school bags... then there's goggles, car seats, scooters, bikes, helmets, PE gear, toys, guitars, ukuleles,... and I haven't even started on the gear we have in our classroom. Our children really have to learn to be a little more responsible for their own things. Here are 2 things, that you can do at home, that will really help us out.
1. Make sure that everything that comes to school has your child's name on it. A hidden piece of purple cotton or the name of your neighbours kid, who left 3 years ago, really does't help me to identify an owner.
2. Make sure that your child has responsibility for packing an unpacking their own school bag at home. This will help them to take a little more responsibility for looking after their own belongings at school. The internet is awash with little checklists and ideas to help. We are teaching our kids to be independent and responsible.
Thanks for your support.
