• Use a schedule with the categories — one activity from each category, each day.
• Try focusing on one NEED TO DO assignment each day to meet deadlines.
• Ms. D will have small-group meetings 2 times daily. Check your email for an invite. Meetings will be a half hour  (10:30-11:00, 1:30-2:00, 2:00-2:30)

Helpful Tips:
