In order to help your children excel in school it is important to have a homework friendly home. It is important to set your children up for success by giving them an area to do their homework. Here are some tips to create a work space:
Gate it off: If you have younger children/toddlers make sure your homework area is secure from them. Your child needs to be undistracted and able to concentrate on their work.
Homework organizer : Have a place to keep their work organized and all their tools handy.
Decorate the space: Try to make some things available for you kids depending on what stage they are at. Decorate their work area with a word wall, maps, or charts. This will help them have a handy reference when they are working as well.
Organize their work : It can be a real encouragement when their best work is saved.
Rewards Chart: Make a rewards chart to encourage them to do their best. Don't give them rewards for getting a good grade but for doing their homework without complaining, working hard, and doing their best.
