One of our favorite things to do each day is to walk to the corner and get Hannah from the bus stop. Every afternoon "the Middles" ask about 100 times if it is time to get her. Once we get home we have a snack and Hannah has some down time with either TV or playing with the neighbors. Then, it is time for homework. Since starting first grade Hannah has a tic-tac-toe homework sheet(different quick activities are in each square) to complete each week and a spelling test on Fridays.
The first few times of trying to do homework was mass chaos...........took forever to find a pencil, scissors, markers, etc., sisters were in the way and trying to take everything and Hannah wasn't too into taking time to do it.
That's when our new friend "Homework Tub" came to visit! It has all the supplies in it that she may need to complete an assignment. It also has a few fun extras because one of the spaces in the tic-tac-toe is "Parent's Choice."
We keep the tub in the office on the lowest shelf so she can get it herself. We also keep her school library books in it so we don't mix them up with our own books. Now when it is homework time we don't need to search for supplies. The younger girls also get their "homework" so they are busy too. Kaylee has a preschool work book and Macy likes to color. I just hope we can keep the excitement of doing homework going for the next few years!!!!
