Mentioned on the show:
- Scholaric.com
- Bankers boxes – Place a manilla envelope for each child with thier papers for the year in a box. Fill until full and label it.
- Kahnacademy.com (math, tax laws, mortgages, fractions, videos of all kinds)
- Book shelves, book shelves and more book shelves. Organize your shelves by category – history, science, English, etc. Here is a picture of Kelly’s Ikea Kallax shelves...a favorite!!
- Tracy’s tool: She teaches her children to figure things out on their own. A great way to do this is to type the exact math word problem into the search bar in Google. You’ll be amazed. It will come up with step-by-step instructions to solve the problem and a many times it will be a video. This has helped her help her child many times!
- Chelle’s tool: The removal of Xbox works every time!
ONE thing:
- Be flexible and forgiving. No teacher is perfect. No curriculum is perfect. No student is perfect. No schedule is perfect! Kelly reminds herself of this…daily.
- “Don’t be afraid to waste money“ is the quote that Lisa heard 20 years ago. It has given her the freedom to move on to something else if a curriculum she spent money on wasn’t working!
