Yesterday, I spent an hour Creating a Homework Station for Cooper so we can get ahead of the school year. I know he’s going to have a lot more homework this year so we might as well be prepared to tackle it, right??
What goes in our homework station? Let’s make a list:
Homework stations start with a caddy.
Here’s ours:
This is what our homework station looked like after last year. Time to clean it out!
A lot of random things end up in there if we aren’t diligent….
Dump it out and SORT. That’s my favorite part!
I decided that we should use some labels. If I make it fun to look at, I’ll want to use it, right?
Perhaps it will make us more likely to put things back where they belong?
Whatever it takes!
(tape / favorite pen / other favorite pen)
And this is what it looks like inside now.
As you can see, I used mason jars
On the other side, I actually used small beakers
I think this will be the key to us keeping the caddy nice and neat.
I slipped some index cards
I added the labels on the caddy and then put packing tape on top to make sure the label stays on longer.
We’re ready for the school year now.
Creating a Homework Station will help you corral all of your office supplies.
I hope this inspires you to come up with a good solution for your homework needs!
