How to Create a Kitchen Study Hall
Create A Kitchen Study Hall in 4 Easy Steps.
Many a mom, including me, likes her kids to do their homework in this room so she can answer kiddie questions while they work.
1. Keep all supplies close at hand.
That way, the kids aren't continually jumping up and down (and
prolonging the whole homework process) for erasers, compasses,
protractors, dictionaries or calculators.
2. Empty a cabinet and create a mini study hall supply center.
Here's
where you'll stock notebook paper, construction paper, folders,
pencils, pens, rulers, calculators, markers, crayons, and whatever else
your kids use.
3. Be within shouting distance of your teen to give her a bit more space.
(But leave the door(s) open if possible.) Younger kids, thankfully, will still welcome your presence nearby.
4. Create an area or space for storing ongoing projects.
These include term papers and note cards.
