Setting up a homework area!
Picture this; 6 kids all sprawled round a kitchen bench top or the dinning table, writing, asking for help, while the 4 yr old tugs on the skirt, one is reciting their times tables, another reading aloud, one asking for food, another crying because he or she can’t do their maths or spelling words…… THIS IS normal!
With the new school year just starting back, the homework area was set up the same way as last year.
However, after using the above system for one day; it was changed to this below.
The old containers for the pencils and pens have been re-used again; Two HERSHEY’S COCOA containers (purchased from my Costco shopping).
The pencil sharpener also lasted a year (purchased from Office Works) and now has its place on the shelves too.
The other side of the screen holds chore charts, information and a new SCHOOL ROUTINE ORGANISER, see here!
