Homework Boxes

Daily Tip:

Each of my children has a “homework box” It is a clear plastic document box and in it are all the supplies they need to do homework.  Lined paper, pencils, colored pencils, colored markers, scissors, ruler, protractor, calculator, etc.  When they sit down to do homework, there are no delays while having to go look for something they need.  We keep these boxes in a cabinet by the kitchen table.  Also in the cabinet are their “stay at home” school books, electric pencil sharpener, and reference books, such as a dictionary, thesaurus, etc.  Each child also has a “completed work file”.  All their graded work goes in here to be used to study for trimester exams.   This cabinet has made the homework time in our house a little less chaotic.
