We’ve all been there—those students who consistently show up without the basics: no pencil, no notebook, or their materials are left at home or in their lockers. It can interrupt the flow of your lesson and impact their learning. But how do you address this recurring issue without derailing class time or singling out students? How do you help students remember their supplies?

We want to hear from you! What’s your solution for managing this dilemma? Do you have a system in place that helps students stay organized or a creative way to ensure they’re always prepared?
