I know my DS6 is much younger but with his start in First Grade he was having issues remembering the packing up process at the end of the day(pack his daily folder, his planner, any work in his desk, and his water bottle)...for the first few days one or none would come home because he said he just couldn't remember what went where or to even remember he had to bring something home....so since he is a visual kid - we took digital photos of his daily folder, planner, a worksheet and his water bottle and I made a small checklist with those 4 pics on it, laminated it and attached it to his backpack in a non-noticeable area (so other kids wouldn't say anything)..we have had no issues since....he says he just looks at his check list at pack up time and goes down the list.....I have no idea if helping her make a small picture list and sticking it somewhere indiscreet like in her planner so she just has to look at it as a visual reminder?
