Faster Homework? Homework Basket / Box

By

Have your kids create a homework basket or box filled with all the supplies they will need. This will help avoid distractions along the way while trying to locate the items. The supply basket/box will keep kids focused on getting homework done rather than looking for something they need. This will help homework time go by faster.

Organizational Skills Tip #3: Homework Notebook/Planner

Most disorganized students forget or lose track of what assignments need to be completed and when then need to be turned in. A homework notebook or planner app should be used to write down the following every day:

Homework assigned for each class with due dates.

If no homework assigned for a given class, write “no homework”.

Upcoming tests, quizzes and projects.

Organizational Skills Make All The Difference

By

Y3K Tutor In Your Home often receives phone calls and emails by parents all the time asking us to help their students with organizational skills. These skills can be the difference between a poor student and a successful student. Children without organizational skills more often than not, tend to fall behind and suffer with low grades. They have trouble keeping track of assignments and/or constantly losing things.

Over the next several posts we will offer some organization tips just in time for the new school year.

Needham Parent Testimonial

“Y3K Tutor In Your Home has been a great support system for my son from elementary school through middle school. Helping him not only with the actual schoolwork but the organizational skills that it will take to be successful in school. My son looks forward to his sessions and plans out what he wants to work on so that he will get the maximum benefit. The tutor (who also happens to be the owner) is always willing to help him out in anything. He really knows my son. He also knows how to motivate and get my son back on task. The owner’s flexibility and support has really helped my son learn to enjoy school and not dread it. I would absolutely recommend Y3K Tutor In Your Home for anyone looking for a tutor.”

Parenting Special Needs Children

By

When children have special needs, those closest to them may suffer. Parents of children with special needs often experience emotional problems such as fear, sadness, rage, loneliness, and guilt. They also experience physical problems such as exhaustion and self-neglect. Many report their health as “fair to poor“ and over half say their diets and exercise habits have deteriorated since their parenting responsibilities began. They also report that they do not regularly keep their own medical appointments. It is important for those caring for those with special needs to address and treat their own issues as well.
