[quote=Anonymous]My son is in 4th grade. He has always had a desk in his room that was intended for homework. We got it from ikea for probably around $30 and an office chair which was probably $20. He always sits at the kitchen table to do his work though. Now his desk has a computer on it, so he does use it to access blackboard and other school websites, so it is useful, but was never actually used for homework.

We have a basket with all of his school supplies for at home stored in a cabinet near the kitchen table so he can grab it when he needs it and put it away when he's done. He never has to be searching for crayons, pencils, erasers, glue sticks, tape, scissors, a pencil sharpener, pens, paper, ruler etc. it's all in the school supplies box and he puts it all back when he's done.

I also have a separate folder that I store papers from school that I want to hold on to and it is stored with the school supplies.

I also stock up on extras when I see a good deal and store all of it together. And when the school year is over and they bring home all of their stuff, I sort through it and keep what can be reused and store it in the same spot and get rid of anything that is no longer useful. He's used the same binders and pencil boxes for years and I replace the other stuff as needed.[/quote]
