Helpful Homework Tips
Is your child having trouble during homework time?
Is your child disorganized and unproductive in completing their homework?
Are you looking for some simple homework tips?
The following are some useful ideas that have been successful with our Blind Brook Middle School Students that you might want to try in your home.
*Designate a homework area in your home that is quiet and well lit. Ideally, this should be a place in a common area of the house with minimal distractions such as the television and cell phones. Computers can be useful tools, but usage of them should be monitored during homework time.
*Expect that your child uses their planner on a daily basis to write down their assignments. Edline is helpful for checking daily and long-term assignments.
*Encourage your child to use a visible calendar or bulletin board, to plan their homework, projects and tests as well as their extra-curricular activities and family plans.
