I find once I know what I am looking for, I can figure out ways to DIY.</p> <p>I also really like laminating pouches, those are great to give things a little more weight. I am going to laminate some math triangles ( i don't know the right name for them, but if you look on amazon, you'll eventually come across them). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/homework-habits-materials#post-2642505 Wed, 26 Oct 2016 10:58:04 +0000 808love 2642505@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: Also there are free printables online for samples to get started. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/homework-habits-materials#post-2642496 Wed, 26 Oct 2016 10:53:43 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2642496@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: ooh I bet I could DIY something like that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/homework-habits-materials#post-2642470 Wed, 26 Oct 2016 10:30:21 +0000 Mamaof2 2642470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>pencils<br /> pencil sharpener<br /> crayons<br /> scissors<br /> glue stick<br /> eraser </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/homework-habits-materials#post-2642464 Wed, 26 Oct 2016 10:25:22 +0000 looch 2642464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lamariniere: I like it because it is tactile and my son likes to manipulate things when he learns.</p> <p>It also allows him to practice and build his confidence. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/homework-habits-materials#post-2642460 Wed, 26 Oct 2016 10:24:07 +0000 lamariniere 2642460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: that frame thing is neat!

They are actually pretty cool. They also use pencils, but I've noticed pens seem to get more use. We also had to provide markers and colored pencils at the beginning of the school year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/homework-habits-materials#post-2642449 Wed, 26 Oct 2016 10:19:29 +0000 808love 2642449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>also<br /> highlighters, crayons and colored pencils<br /> pencil sharpener<br /> tray with a folder to hold important notices and handouts I don't want to stick on the fridge<br /> just added blank notecards and colorful envelopes </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/homework-habits-materials#post-2642446 Wed, 26 Oct 2016 10:17:51 +0000 looch 2642446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lamariniere: that's interesting that pens are used....we're using pencils, markers and crayons. I don't have any idea when they introduce pens here.</p> <p>Aren't the small white boards so great? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/homework-habits-materials#post-2642444 Wed, 26 Oct 2016 10:16:45 +0000 looch 2642444@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: They're materials that I bought, most of it was never intended to be used to support homework. </p> <p>The stamps for example, were mine from scrapbooking days. We got a worksheet for homework that came home and the activity was trace it, write it, stamp it. </p> <p>The dry erase boards are great because he can practice on them or I can show him an example so he's not messing up his papers.</p> <p>The other stuff I bought over the summer to try and get a jump on learning sight words, but he just HATED them so I stopped and now, since they're doing sightwords in school, we have them as supplements to the homework and he loves to use them.</p> <p>He'll wake up at 6 30 in the morning and ask what work he can do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/homework-habits-materials#post-2642435 Wed, 26 Oct 2016 10:13:13 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2642435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: are these supplemental materials you have on hand for learning resources or things actually required for school homework? Right now her homework has just been worksheets. Mostly just needing a pencil but one was cut and paste. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/homework-habits-materials#post-2642434 Wed, 26 Oct 2016 10:13:06 +0000 lamariniere 2642434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought a set of Frixion pens like the ones they use at school because DS doesn't usually bring his pencil case home. I also bought a small white board with pens so that I can write things or show him examples. Other than that, he brings home the notebooks he needs each day and we haven't needed anything else so far. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/homework-habits-materials#post-2642431 Wed, 26 Oct 2016 10:11:51 +0000 looch 2642431@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have:</p> <p>pencils<br /> dry erase board and markers<br /> letter magnets ( magnetic poetry alphabet)<br /> 10 frame magnet set (learning resources)<br /> dry erase paper pockets (slip worksheets in to practice)<br /> scissors<br /> glue stick<br /> alphabet letter stamps and ink pad<br /> Pop Sight words game<br /> Learning Resources cards</p> <p>I love that we can get so many things on amazon, it's my new obsession, basically! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/homework-habits-materials#post-2642420 Wed, 26 Oct 2016 10:08:50 +0000 looch 2642420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am always on the lookout for ways to make the homework completion part of our day a little bit easier and I am sure there are a ton of things out there to support this...so I figured we could brainstorm and share the materials that we're using. </p>
