Notepad Corner

photo from the web Whoa! It has been a year now that I’ve been spending much longer hours infront of my laptop.

When your child has everything he needs to get his work done, he will feel more organized and be able to finish it in less time, giving your child more time to have fun. 1. Get Everything Together Assemble all of the tools your child needs to complete his homework assignments. In most cases, you will need paper, pencils, a ruler, scissors and a pack of crayons.
