Many of the grade 6s are having trouble carrying all of their books from both lockers and then to the classroom.  I suggested that they bring a tote bag that they could keep in their lockers and use to bring their stuff to class. 

It is not a necessity, but I know that there are already a few students who do that and they find that it helps.
