You can waste a lot of time looking for pens or exercise books when it's time for homework. If you then have to search for all the items, you not only lose valuable time, but also motivation to start your homework at all.

 

 

The best way to avoid such searches is to keep a homework kit next to your desk, with its contents always available and ready to use.

 

The homework kit should contain learning materials:

 

• sharpened pencil and coloured pencil

• Possibly fountain pen and ink cartridges

• working biros

• Ruler

• DIN A 4 writing paper

• Charged AA batteries for the wireless mouse, if necessary

• Pocket calculator

• Geo-triangle

• Highlighter

• Eraser

• Felt-tip pens

• Notepad

• Pencil sharpener

• Scissors

 

It makes sense to provide a box to hold the homework kit. Label the box clearly and lock it so that other family members cannot help themselves to it.

The box should always be in the same place. It is best if you have an empty desk drawer that you can use for your kit.

 

A carefully guarded homework kit shortens the time devoted to homework immensely, and who doesn't want to finish their homework as quickly as possible?
