Organization does not come naturally to many children. Show kids how with this fun story
Blake is struggling to keep his schoolwork, his papers and his things in order.
Assignments and permission slips always go missing. Even the class pet disappears (only to be found nesting inside Blake's overstuffed, completely cluttered, bursting-at-the-seams school desk)!
Soon Blake realizes that maybe his disorganization is more of a problem than he realizes!
With a much-needed assist from his teacher and a timely baseball analogy, Blake finally learns how to get organized.
This story is part of the Executive FUNction children's book series written for kids in grades K-6. Tips for parents, educators and counselors are included in the back of the book. Remember that getting organized looks different from one person to the next, so finding an organization style that works for you is important.
Review
Blake asks the question: "Why can't school be laid back as summer?" Many children would ask that question. That author points out the difference between the summer activities and what must take place when school restarts after summer. The teacher compares the progress the child can make in school and can give the feeling of hitting a Home Run in baseball. The book is very encouraging of proper behavior and attitude when school restarts. This is a book of encouragement and is recommended for children to improve their attitude when it's time to return to school. --M.G. Paregian, Reviewer
Organization is a topic that does not come naturally to many children. Finally, a book that children can relate to with easy-to-follow steps. I can't wait to use this with my students! --Britni Haskin, Elementary School teacher
