7 Smart Strategies to Actually Get Homework Done During the Holidays

  • Taking Courses

While most people consider the holidays “the most wonderful time of the year,” for some students, not so much. With families to care for, holiday parties to prepare for and gift shopping to finish in between, finding time to complete schoolwork may seem down right impossible. For students, the mounting stress of the holidays can result in late assignments, or, even worse, assignments never submitted at all.

But it’s important to remember that late assignments and missed assignments will have a negative effect on your grade.  A failing or incomplete grade  can affect your graduation plans. And that’s not very merry at all. So instead of waiting until the last minute and panicking the night before a deadline, here are seven strategies you can use to ensure your homework gets done on time and gift yourself a much needed break.

1. Plan Ahead

It’s easy to lose track of deadlines when the days are filled with holiday fun, and that doesn’t leave much time, or thought, for course work. Even with so many (welcome) distractions, it’s important to complete schoolwork on time. To better pace yourself, create a schedule for what assignments are due and when, and break up that work into smaller chunks. Keep this schedule in an easy-to-see place so you can avoid any last minute surprises.  

2. Save the Easy Assignments for Later

When you first sit down for a school session, you may feel inclined to get the easy material out of the way. However, your energy and focus are at their peak when you first start. Use this brainpower advantage to get through the most challenging subjects early on. Then, should you really experience holiday and homework crunch time, you’ll be able to complete the smaller assignments with less stress and in less time.

3. Enlist the Elves

You have your your own helpers who are ready and willing to lend a hand: your spouse, kids, siblings, parents, in-laws, grandparents, the list goes on. Instead of feeling obligated to handle all the holiday hoopla alone, get your helpers involved. Let a family member supervise the cooking or make a gift pit stop for you so you can get away for half an hour or so. Or, spend your bonding time with family wisely; instead of finding gifts for your kids to give grandma and grandpa, save yourself an extra shopping trip and sit down together to handcraft something special. Not only will you save time and money, you’ll also have a wonderful family memory. And isn’t that what the holidays are supposed to be about?

4. Be Realistic

The holiday season is also a hectic one; unrealistically high expectations for yourself may cause your schoolwork to suffer. Trying to do too much will leave you drained and burnt out. Combat this by asking your family which holiday traditions they treasure the most, and cut out the rest. If your teenagers don’t enjoy holiday light shows anymore, then save yourself the trip and use it to get your schoolwork done instead. And when you’ve finished, you can spend your time doing the things your kids actually do like. Be reasonable with your time, and you can balance work and holiday fun.

5. Shop Smart

Obviously, you can save yourself a lot of time, money and hassle by shopping online. But being savvy about it can make all the difference. Give yourself a time limit to scour sites for the best deals and comparison shop. If you don’t find a better offer online after 10 minutes, stop, and move on. Most importantly, avoid or turn off any sale alerts. If you keep leaving your schoolwork behind to check your email inbox for the latest deals, you’ll never get it done. Save the emails for later; in a few hours, the sales will still be there.

6. Reward Yourself

Take breaks in between studying by giving yourself an extra holiday treat or two, or spend it with friends and family. To feel reenergized and refreshed, take a break that lasts 20-30 minutes, coincidentally, the same amount of time it takes to bake a batch of cookies or wrap up a few gifts! Whatever you do, take a break that is mentally or physically active, and you’ll be at your most productive when you return.  

7. If all else fails… Request a Course Extension

If you’re looking for the gift of time, Thomas Edison State University students may  apply for an eight-week course extension  as long as you continue to make satisfactory progress in your course. Your mentor must be able to certify that at least 50 percent of your course work has been completed. After submitting the course extension request , along with the fee, you’ll receive an extension approval via email from the University.

How to Do Your Homework During the Holidays

Sometimes, even if you are done with exams for the academic term, you end up with homework during your school holiday. Whether you are making up work, preparing for a new class, or simply already have to start working on next term, it is possible to get your homework done during your holiday and still enjoy your free time. All you need to do is set a schedule, designate a space to study, and stick to your plan—we'll show you how!

Organizing Your Time

Step 1 Prioritize your work.

  • Try setting aside consistent times for certain subjects every day. For example, if you know you will have time in the afternoon, set aside a block from 2pm to 4pm to work on your homework.
  • If you need to work on multiple subjects over the holidays, alternate your study time from day to day. You may want to work on your history homework on Mondays and Wednesdays, and your maths work on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
  • Use a personal planner or calendar to mark down your study times, and write what assignments you want to work on for each day.

Step 3 Set aside non-school time.

  • Studying distracted can actually make it more difficult to learn and retain information. When you designate no-study time, it’s important to stick to it so that you don’t miss vital steps or information in your school work.

Setting Up Your Space

Step 1 Prepare your materials.

  • If you are traveling and you forget something, it may be difficult or expensive to get a replacement on the go.
  • To avoid missing anything, look at each assignment before you leave and make a checklist of what materials you need to complete that assignment. Go through the checklist and make sure you have packed everything you need to take with you before you leave school.

Step 2 Set an alarm.

  • If you carry a phone or tablet with you regularly, set reminders on your digital calendar so that you get instant notifications.
  • If you use a planner, write reminders down there as well, so that you know what you expect to do and when you expect to do it.

Step 3 Designate a study space.

  • Clear your study space of all distractions. If you work at a desk, for example, make sure that only your computer, your notebook, your school books, and materials relevant to your studies are set up.
  • Make the space more comfortable by providing yourself with comfortable seating, good lighting, and accoutrements such a blanket that may help you feel more relaxed in your space.

Working On Your Homework

Step 1 Get rid of online distractions.

  • Apps like Freedom and LeechBlock allow users to temporarily block certain sites or set whole blocks of time where the internet is inaccessible.
  • Tools such as FocusWriter and Focus Booster are designed to help you track your time to accomplish specific tasks.

Step 2 Take breaks.

  • Taking occasional breaks has been found to improve attention and potentially make your overall studying more effective. [6] X Research source Even if you are focused on an assignment, try to include breaks to keep from overworking yourself.

Step 3 Study on vacation.

  • Do try to avoid packing schoolwork into times that won’t properly allow you to focus, such as on a tour or during a family get-together. Save the school work for designated study time or your leisure time.
  • Make sure your environment is compatible for the work you need to do. For example, avoid bringing your computer or scientific calculator to a beach setting, which could damage such equipment.

Step 4 Check your work.

  • If possible, save any editing for a time when you are not on a trip or dealing with family visits. Find a low-stress point in your holiday where you can go over the work you’ve done thus far.
  • See if any of your peers would be interested in exchanging assignments and peer editing. Arrange it with a friend before you leave school, and set exchange deadlines for the two of you.

How to Make a Study Routine

  • Sample Study Routines (Day & Night)

Best Techniques for Your Study Routine

Creating an effective study routine isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach. Here’s a breakdown to help you tailor a study routine to your unique schedule and academic needs.

  • Evaluate your schedule: Before building your study routine, closely examine your daily schedule and commitments. When do your classes start and end? Do you have any extracurricular activities? Do you have to work after class? By understanding your daily schedule, you can create a more personalized study routine.
  • Set realistic goals: Have you ever told yourself that you’d finish reading 10 chapters of your textbook in a single all-nighter? You’re not alone in falling into this lie countless times. That’s why breaking down larger academic goals into smaller, achievable tasks is a must. You need to be able to set specific and realistic goals for each study session.
  • Plan study blocks: After being honest with yourself about your goals, decide how many hours a day you would dedicate to studying. It could be as short or as long as you want — as long as you guarantee that you can maximize your study time. The quality of your learning is more important than the quantity or amount of hours you put into studying!
  • Create a distraction-free environment: Spending 10 hours studying is useless if it’s broken up scrolling through social media. Because of this, it is important to minimize distractions during your study sessions. You can do this by finding a quiet, clutter-free space where you can concentrate fully. Turn off your phone and use website blockers like Cold Turkey to maximize productivity.
  • Organize your study materials : A well-organized set of resources can save you time and stress. Check out our post on the best Notion templates for students for some inspiration.
  • Prioritize sleep and schedule: Studying is important, but so is your physical health! Your cognitive abilities are directly linked to your wellbeing. Make sure you get enough sleep and fit in some physical activity to keep your mind sharp.
  • Stay consistent: If you start committing to your planned study schedule as much as possible, it’ll eventually become second nature and make it quicker to dive into a state of deep focus every time.
  • Be flexible: Life happens, and things don’t always go as planned — and that’s okay! It just means that your routine might need adjustments from time to time. Don’t be too hard on yourself, and learn to adapt to changes in your schedule. If you accidentally missed a study session, relax and just pick up where you left off.

Sample Study Routines to Follow

Morning & afternoon study routine.

If you’re an early riser who enjoys soaking up the morning sun, a daytime study routine is perfect for you. Studying in the morning has the added advantage of being in line with our natural body clock since alertness is at its peak in the morning and early afternoon.

Here’s a sample schedule that you can follow:

  • 5:30 AM – 6:15 AM: Rise and shine! Kick-start your day with a healthy breakfast. You can also try to engage in a short meditation or stretching session to feel more awake.
  • 6:15 AM – 6:30 AM: Grab a pen and paper or your digital notepad so that you can set your study goals for the day and specific tasks you need to accomplish.
  • 6:30 AM – 7:30 AM: Time to exercise! You can do any form of physical activity, from light cardio (like walking) to lifting weights in the gym.
  • 7:30 AM – 9:30 AM: First study block (or attend your classes). Start your timer: 25-minute study with a 5-minute break, repeat 4x, then a long break — or use a timer that automatically does it for you .
  • 9:30 AM – 10:00 AM: Take an extended break. Stretch, grab a snack, and breathe some fresh air. Look away from your screen to minimize eye strain.
  • 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM: Second study block (or attend your classes). Start your timer and finish another full Pomodoro session (25-minute study with a 5-minute break, repeat 4x, then a long break).
  • 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM: Lunch break! This is the perfect time to refuel your body with nourishing food and prep for your afternoon study session.
  • 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM : Third study block (or attend your classes). Don’t forget to use techniques like active recall and mind mapping (more on that below) to reinforce the concepts you learned in the morning.
  • 3:00 PM – 3:30 PM: Time for another extended break. Why not walk to a nearby café for a change of scenery, or go to a virtual café ?
  • 3:30 PM – 5:30 PM: Final study block (or attend your classes). Use this final session to consolidate your learning and list areas requiring further attention.
  • 5:30 PM – 9:30 PM: Free time! Reward yourself by unwinding and relaxing after a productive day. Pursue your hobbies, spend time with friends and family, or watch a movie .
  • 9:30 PM – 5:30 AM: Get a good night’s rest to feel fully recharged the next day!

Nighttime Study Routine

Not everyone is made for a daytime study routine. You might just feel more productive at night, or maybe you’ve got daytime commitments like a job or other extracurricular activities. If you’re a night owl and not an early riser, give this sample nighttime study routine a whirl:

  • 5:00 PM – 6:00 PM: Boost your energy with a late-day workout. This will help set your mood for your upcoming study session.
  • 6:00 PM – 6:15 PM: Grab a pen and paper or your digital notepad to set your study goals for the night and specific tasks you need to accomplish.
  • 6:15 PM – 8:15 PM: First study block. Start your timer and finish a full Pomodoro session (25-minute study with a 5-minute break, repeat 4x, then a long break). Try starting with lighter subjects first to ease yourself into the night.
  • 8:15 PM – 9:00 PM: Dinner time! Have a nutritious meal to fuel yourself for the long night ahead.
  • 9:00 PM – 11:00 PM: Second study block. Start your timer and finish another full Pomodoro session.
  • 11:00 PM – 11:30 PM: Take an extended break. You can even take a power nap if you want to. Just make sure to set an alarm to avoid oversleeping!
  • 11:30 PM – 1:30 AM: Third study block. Start your timer and finish another full Pomodoro session. Try switching to a different subject to keep things interesting!
  • 1:30 AM – 2:00 AM: Relax and recharge for a while. Don’t forget to stay hydrated and have a light snack if you want to.
  • 2:00 AM – 4:00 AM: Final study block. Review the material you studied during the whole night. Why not try to use the Feynman technique to test your learning? (check it out below)
  • 4:00 AM – 12:00 PM: Go to bed and make sure you get at least 7-8 hours of sleep. Make sure to turn off your devices and create a relaxing bedtime routine.
  • 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM: Time to wake up! Sustain your body’s needs by eating your first meal of the day.
  • 1:00 PM – 5:00 PM: Free time! Ideally, you should engage in activities to help unwind and clear your mind. You should also eat your second meal of the day during this period.

With a general framework in place and some sample routines to try, let’s explore some scientifically-backed techniques to enhance your study routine.

Pomodoro Technique

The Pomodoro Technique is a time-tested and community favorite strategy that breaks your study time into 25 minute intervals, followed by short breaks. It helps your brain stay focused and reduces fatigue.

Luckily, you can use dedicated free Pomodoro-focused tools like Flocus to automatically switch between study and break periods instead of winding up a manual timer for each interval.

Don’t know what to do during your study breaks? Here are some Pomodoro break ideas . Also, if you think that the Pomodoro technique isn’t for you, we’ve rounded up some of the best Pomodoro alternatives to try.

Active Recall

Active recall beats passive learning hands down. Instead of simply reading through material, this method challenges you to recall information from memory. In fact, passive learning is considered one of the least effective study methods. Active recall may be challenging to get used to at first, but the amount of retained information you’ll get will make the process worth it! When it comes to active recall, nothing beats the use of flashcards — whether handwritten or created using digital apps such as Anki .

Mind Mapping

If you are visual person, then this strategy is perfect for you. Mind mapping is a visual technique that helps you organize and understand complex information. Basically, it’s creating a map of your thoughts! Start with a central idea and then let it branch out by adding related subtopics and ideas. Feel free to add colors and images to make it even more memorable and effective. Just the process of creating the mind map itself already helps you solidify your understanding of the topic.

Feynman Technique

This technique, inspired by the learning approach of renowned physicist Richard Feynman, involves breaking down complex ideas into simpler terms — as if you’re teaching a concept to a total beginner. While doing this, you’ll probably identify gaps in your knowledge and better understand the topic. Generally, if you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it well enough.

Ultimately, the best study routine is the one that fits your unique lifestyle. Experiment with different schedules and see what works best for you. Whether you’re an early riser or a night owl, consistency and dedication are the keys to academic success. Take time to craft your best study routine, and you’ll be acing your exams in no time!

Smart strategies to complete your holiday homework

strategies complete holiday homework

For many students, holiday homework is that one thing they dread the most. While holidays are surely for enjoying but let’s not forget the importance of homework. It might be stressful for students which may result in late assignments and submission of homework, but it is also important to remember that being stressed and submitting in later work will only have a bad effect over the grades. Hence, it is always advisable to start the holiday homework from the beginning of the holidays. In this article, you will find smart strategies to complete your holiday homework on time and enjoy it to the fullest.

1. Setting a schedule

Summer holidays are an ideal time to sit back, relax and have fun. It is a great time for students to take a break from their studies but due to this very reason, many students choose to ignore their holiday homework, leaving piles of assignments undone and later regretting it. The best way to overcome this is by planning and making a strict schedule. Planning is the key to completing all the tasks in time, so you are left with plenty of time to enjoy your vacations without any stress.

2. Distraction free environment

As we are living in the era of technology, the constant from our cell phones makes it harder to concentrate and focus on the task we are doing. This technology is a mode of distraction. Try to switch off your phones while working on your holiday homework because this will surely help you pay attention and get your work done faster.

3. Beginning from day one

Many students pile up their homework until the very last moment. Try starting your homework from day one, the moment you start getting the assignments. This is the best advice. Take out an extra thirty minutes daily and start solving your assignments. This will lighten your weight of work during the holidays, and you will be done with the work sooner.

4. Gather relevant resources

This is one of the most important steps that many ignore. Start gathering all the information required for your assignments so that you can be done with homework quickly. It will save you a huge chunk of time and the best part is that once you get done with one assignment, you can also consider getting help from other sources and finish those assignments on time.

5. Pick your subjects of interest

Try finishing off the difficult subjects at first and later start with the easy ones as in this way it can put less burden. Use the brainpower advantage to get through the challenging subjects. However, students can also choose the subjects of their interest first and get done with them easily. For example, if you love English, then the student should focus on that assignment first and gradually move onto other subjects. This has proven to be an effective method of completing holiday homework.

6. Time yourself

It is one of the smartest ways to complete your homework because in this way you can manage your time to see how many hours you will be able to finish off certain subjects and it can eventually make you plan your study session better.

7. Take plenty of breaks

Mostly people need breaks between subjects to freshen up their minds. Stick to a break schedule of maximum 10 to 20 minutes. Students can take active breaks which is a great way to keep your energy up while on the other hand, tech breaks are also awesome in which you can watch your favorite shows or just use social media. But tech breaks tend to stretch for a much longer period than originally intended. Do take breaks in between, that is physically and mentally active and you will be at your most productive form when you return to doing your tasks.

How to Make a Better Homework Schedule for Your Family

Verywell / Zackary Angeline

Why Homework Schedules Are Effective

  • Developing a Schedule

Other Considerations

Do you frequently have homework struggles with your child or teen? Or, does your student procrastinate doing their work? Maybe they even fail to turn in assignments. If any of these scenarios resonate with you, a better homework schedule may help.

A regular homework schedule establishes predictable times when homework is to be completed. Once the homework schedule has been in place for a few weeks, you may even find your child will begin doing their homework without needing to be reminded—although you may still need to monitor their work progress.

If you're struggling with homework completion in your household, or if you're having daily battles about allotting the appropriate amount of time to homework, you're not alone. That's why educators recommend developing a homework schedule—with input from your kids.

Once you set a homework schedule, then there are no questions about when the work will be done. It also communicates clear expectations; having a homework schedule helps kids understand what is required of them. And following the schedule encourages them to develop a good work ethic.

Schedules also help prevent procrastination and instill good habits like completing work on time. Homework routines also improve study skills and encourage kids to plan ahead.

Other benefits include developing your child's work ethic and organizational abilities. By helping your child complete their work at regular intervals, you are modeling how to manage time and projects in the future. When you send them off to college , they will know how to pace their work so they can avoid all-nighters at the end of the semester.

How to Develop a Homework Schedule

To develop a homework schedule, start by talking with your kids. Get their input on how they would like to manage their time and incorporate their homework into their daily routine. A successful homework schedule allows kids to finish their work and also have some free time.

Give Kids an Option

If you ask kids when they want to do their homework, their first answer might be "Never" or "Later." But if you dig a little deeper, your child may tell you what matters to them as they plan their schedule. This information will help you avoid scheduling homework during their favorite television program or when they usually get online to play games with friends.

When you include your child in the decision-making process, you also will get more buy-in from them because they know that their concerns were heard. You don't have to give them their way, but at least considering what they have to say will let them feel included. After all, this homework schedule is about them completing their homework.

Allow for Free Time

Some kids can step through the front door and buckle down on their homework right away. When this happens, they reap the reward of getting their work done early and having the rest of the evening to do what they want. But most kids need to eat and decompress a bit before tackling their assignments.

As you develop your homework schedule, keep in mind your child has already spent at least six hours in class. And this time doesn't include getting to and from school or participation in extracurricular programs . Allow kids some free time before beginning their homework if that's what they need to unwind.

Establish a Timeline

Generally, you can expect about 10 minutes of homework per grade level of school. This means that a third-grade student will need about 30 minutes to complete homework. However, the amount of time needed can vary dramatically between students, teachers, and schools.

Find out how much time your child's teacher expects homework to take each evening. If your child takes a lot of time to complete their work or struggles with homework , talk with the teacher. Your child may need extra instruction on a task or tutoring assistance—or fewer homework assignments.

Pick a Homework Spot

Designate a comfortable and efficient spot for your kids to do their homework. This workspace should be well-lit, stocked with supplies , and quiet. The workspace should allow you to provide some supervision. 

If you have multiple kids trying to complete their homework at one time, you may want to find a separate location for each child. Sometimes kids can complete their homework together at the kitchen table, but other times having siblings around can be distracting. Do what works best for your family.

Put It All Together

Now that you know what your child's needs and concerns are for finding a time to do homework, you need to come up with the actual plan. Creating a homework routine is really just one piece of creating a daily school year routine .

For the homework time itself, get it down on paper so you can see exactly what they will be doing and when they will be doing it. Do this for each day of the week if you have different activities on different weekdays. Students who are assigned larger projects will need to review their homework plans regularly to make adjustments as needed.

Expect your child to work consistently throughout the assigned time. Avoid having multiple homework sessions, such as one before dinner and a second one after dinner. Starting and stopping may mean children may spend more time getting into what they are doing than working continuously.

Be Consistent

Once you have decided on a time to do homework, stick to the plan! It usually takes about three weeks for most children to really get into the habit of their new schedule.

If your child or teen has difficulty maintaining concentration for the length of time that their homework should take, then you may want to carefully consider breaking up the work to take advantage of the time when your child can focus.

This added step is especially important for children and teens with depression or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). They may benefit from multiple smaller work sessions and more frequent breaks.

Even though the idea behind creating a homework schedule is to get your child to work consistently and independently, you may need to look over their work when they are done. This is especially important for younger children.

Make sure they understand their assignments and that they completed a reasonable amount of work during the homework session. If you find your child is having trouble actually working during their homework time, troubleshoot to find out what might be the issue. Sometimes kids need extra help and other times they simply need more motivation to get their work done.

If you find that your child continues to struggle with homework even with a schedule in place, you might need to dig a little deeper. Consider discussing your child's issues with their teacher or pediatrician.

Sometimes kids are reluctant to complete their homework because of undiagnosed learning disabilities. It could be that your child struggles with reading comprehension or has a processing disorder. Or it could be that your child is struggling with a mental health issue like anxiety .

A Word From Verywell

Establishing a homework schedule allows children to build some important life skills that will help them as they navigate high school, college, and eventually the workforce. Practice is important when kids are learning new skills. So, having a nightly homework routine enhances your child's learning. Just be sure you aren't requiring homework time at the expense of being a kid. Having time to play is just as important to a child's development as learning new material.

6 Creative Assignment Ideas to Make Your Students’ Holiday Homework Fun

' src=

Jump to Section

The term ‘holiday homework’ raises a collective groan when you mention it in class. The last thing your students want to do during their holidays is spending more time with their noses buried in textbooks. But who said homework had to be a dull and dreary activity? There’s plenty of time and then some to learn concepts at school; holiday homework can focus on skill-building and be a lot more fun! Here’s a list of top creative assignment or homework ideas to help students take the ‘work’ out of homework, and replace it with a whole lot of fun! 

“Assignment 1: For the Filmy Fans”

As a life coach who holds film therapy workshops in Bengaluru, Rohit Sasvehalli believes that movies can have a deep impact on the psyche when approached consciously. “Pick a specific concept the child wants to learn about, say Apartheid. Ask them to watch a movie like Invictus to understand the tensions in South Africa. It will invoke an explorative mindset,” says Sasvehalli. Give your students a choice of topics and movies to watch, review and write an essay or make a presentation on what it got them thinking about. Surely your students aren’t about to complain about watching a movie or two!

Netflix screen

Do you see any budding filmmakers in your class? Mentoria’s holistic  career assessment test  could help them discover their calling by uniquely combining their interests and abilities! Find out more about the test here:

“Assignment 2: For the Wanderlusters”

Families often set out on trips during the holiday season. A trip is often a great platform to learn about new places and new cultures. Ask your students to document every bit of their travel, discover fascinating aspects about the place they’re visiting and turn their findings into a fantastic travel presentation for the class! It could cover a long vacation or even a day trip to the museum, beach or a nearby park.

Toy bus

“Assignment 3: For the Bookworms”

This creative assignment may not appeal to all your students, but the voracious readers in your class will surely welcome some binge-reading over the holidays! For this set of students, assign a list of books they can review over the holidays. Encourage them to get a library membership or even a Kindle, if they’re more accustomed to reading digitally. Give them a mix of fiction and non-fiction titles that will broaden their knowledge and urge them to think. It doesn’t have to strictly follow the curriculum; books on current events will also help them get a better perspective of what’s going on in the world.

Book, coffee and specs

Assignment 4: For the Crafty Ones

Do you see your students stumbling over certain difficult topics in class? Ask them to bring out their ‘crafty’ sides over the holidays and turn those concepts into flashcards!  Flashcards make learning easier , and making them will help your students hone their artistic skills!

Sticky notes on wall

Budding artists need guidance, and that’s exactly what we provide here at  Mentoria !  Speak to our expert career counsellors  about your future career path, or listen to the experiences of industry professionals in your field. Here Commercial Artist Mrs Krupa Patil shares what a day in her life looks like:

Assignment 5: For the Volunteer Wonders

A school in New Zealand recently got its students involved in building an outdoor classroom and won an award for creativity! Volunteering as a homework idea will help them understand the kind of problems the world is facing, put things in perspective and also help them learn how to work in a team! You could give them a list of places they could visit over the holidays or plan a class trip yourself. Let them volunteer at an animal shelter, old-age home or orphanage, where they can perform different activities like maintaining the gardens, teaching other children, reading to the elderly, or even organising a performance for the underprivileged.

Puppy

Assignment 6. For the Budding Philosophers

If your students are at a stage in life where they have critical future decisions to make, ask them to ‘introspect’ over the holidays. What makes them happiest? Which activities do they most look forward to? What piques their interest and what fails to grab their attention? Give them a homework idea and ask them to write a detailed summary of their interests and how they could translate into a career option a few years down the line. If they’re confused, ask them to opt for professional guidance that will help them discover who they really are and what they should pursue in the future. We can help with that.  Students with clarity on their future are likely to be less stressed in class and focus better on their academics!

Man looking at the wall

Holidays are perhaps the only time when students can study at their own pace without the looming burden of a jam-packed schedule. The holidays give students enough time to explore their interests and  use them to enhance their studying technique . Don’t overburden them with lesson plans and tough projects; instead, let them focus on building skills, exploring interests and making the most of the holiday season both in terms of education and entertainment!

We at  Mentoria  know that holidays can be crucial during high school, and students are busy figuring out what stream they want to enter. We try to make it easier for you. Our 4-step career guidance solution, helps us find the right career fit for you from 3 streams, 850+ courses & 12,000+ careers. Discover yourself during the holidays with Mentoria.

How To Plan A School Holiday Routine For Kids

how-to-plan-a-school-holiday-routine-for-kids

After working hard throughout the term, your kids will be looking forward to school holidays! However, if you aren’t careful, what you envision as lazy and care-free may become exhausting and chaotic. If you want the experience to be enjoyable for everybody, we recommend planning a school holiday routine.

We’d like to suggest three strategies to choose from; one that allows you to take each day as it comes, one that involves planning the whole school holiday routine ahead of time, and one that’s somewhere in the middle. Select one strategy that works for you, or mix and match! While we certainly don’t recommend over-scheduling, there is merit to putting some plans in the calendar and jotting down some ideas to have at hand. 

Select the approach that best suits your planning style and your kids’ needs. No matter which one you opt for, the ultimate goals are the same: to create a school holiday routine so that your children don’t spend all day in front of the TV when they could be getting outside, having new experiences and building on the learning momentum they’ve created during the term. 

One day at a time

This approach best suits families that have lots on the go and don’t want to be tied down to rigid plans. Having a little bit of flexibility comes in handy when your work schedule is uncertain or the weather is unpredictable, impacting which activities you choose to do together. 

Many families use this approach to ensure that their children stay in the habit of doing daily chores (even simple ones like making their bed) and limit their screen time by focusing on offline tasks like reading and playing outside. 

Here are some daily activities we recommend you incorporate into your child’s school holiday routine:

  • Wake up and make breakfast together
  • Brush teeth, do hair and get dressed
  • Make your bed
  • Read a book or magazine (20 minutes)
  • Writing, colouring or drawing (20 minutes)
  • Play outside (30 minutes)
  • Make or build something (30 minutes)

Once your child has completed all the items on this list, they can spend the rest of their day doing whatever they like! Alternatively, make use of our handy list at the end of this post for holiday activities that you can plan for the afternoons.

One week at a time

Want to make sure your school holiday routine includes a balanced mix of downtime and planned activities? Having a look at each week holistically might be the best approach for your family! 

In this method, each day of the week has a theme to help guide the type of tasks you do together as a family. A mix of activities is important and there are many benefits. For example, crafty activities encourage creative thinking, while hiking and physical exercise is important for allowing the child to encourage healthy growth and development. The activities listed below are fantastic ideas for bonding with your children, so find ways to include relationship building activities too! Here are some suggestions:

Make it Monday

Spend the day doing crafts, sewing, baking, building, doing DIY projects or painting!

Thinking Tuesday

Get your child’s brain working with quiet books, science experiments or refresher sessions with their Teach Me 2 Tutor. We suggested a one hour session each week of the holidays on two subjects they need to get a head start on for the next term. 

Wander Wednesday

Go on an adventure, a hike or walk, or take a swim. 

Take a trip Thursday

Visit your local library, take a trip to the zoo, pop into the museum, go to the park or spend the day at the playground. 

Fun day Friday

Go on a family picnic, have a movie day, play board games together or schedule a playdate. 

Selfless Saturday

Do something nice for a family member, volunteer, walk the dog or help a neighbour. 

Spontaneous Sunday

Let the kids decide what to do!

Plan it all at once

If you like the idea of a theme for each week, then this method is right up your alley! Themed weeks allow you to bring some focus to the tasks you select for the week. Here are some ideas:

Under the Sea Week

Do “under the sea” themed word searches, learn about ocean life (different fish, dolphins, etc), make a paper plate jellyfish, paint ocean rocks, walk like a crab, make a fish mobile, and watch kid-friendly ocean-themed movies like Finding Nemo or Moana. 

Disney Week

Play Disney dress-up, host a sing-along with their favourite Disney songs, make Mickey Mouse shaped pancakes, read a Disney book, make a Frozen-inspired snow globe, do a Disney-inspired workout, and of course, watch Disney movies! 

No Waste Week

This theme is a little more complex and better suited to older children. Challenge your children to cook meals with minimal waste, go shopping together at a charity shop, pick up litter, plant a tree in the garden, and watch a documentary about sustainable living.

Winter holiday activities

  • Play board games

Holiday Math Activities That 2nd Graders LOVE!

The month of December is a busy time of year in elementary classrooms.  There are many extra activities and schedule interruptions that can impact the time you have available for math practice.  In this post, I’m going to share one way that you can use to make the most of your math time in the weeks leading up to the holidays.  Keep reading for a variety of holiday math activities that will keep your students engaged in skill practice all month long!

Benefits of Holiday Math Activities

Holiday math activities are more than just adding fun clipart on a regular math worksheet.  In fact, there are several reasons why holiday-themed learning activities can benefit the students in your classroom.  Here are three of my favorites:

1. Engaging Review

The days leading up to a long break from school are definitely not the time to be teaching brand new math skills!  It’s common for students to have some skill regression over winter break, but it’s much more likely for newly-taught concepts.  

Instead of using holiday activities to teach new math skills right before the holiday, you can focus on reviewing math concepts that your student have already learned.  This refresher will be just what they need before leaving for break.

2. Add to Classroom Festivities

Holiday math worksheets are a simple way to bring a touch of festivity to your regular classroom routine. Rather than feel like you’re competing against the anticipation of the upcoming holiday, you can help students channel their excitement into purposeful learning activities!

These festive activities can also be the perfect addition to a class party!  You can set up a variety of special learning stations with a fun holiday twist.

3. Easily Repeated

Holiday math activities are also great for the busy days of December because your students will want to play them again and again!  This cuts down on prep time because you won’t have to track down quite as many review activities.  

The holiday math activities that I’m going to share with you in this post can be laminated or added to a sheet protector so that you really only have to prep once to use them all month! Students can complete the activities using a dry eraser marker!

7 Holiday Math Activities for 2nd Grade

All of the holiday math activities that I’m going to share with you use a similar spin-and-solve format. Each printable activity can be used to practice and review a different second grade math skill.

Addition Fact Fluency

Your students will love to practice addition facts with this holiday math game!  They will use a paperclip and pencil to spin two different numbers.  After spinning, students can write and solve an addition equation using those numbers. Since students will spin a different combination of numbers each time, this activity is perfect for practicing a wide variety of math facts!

Three colorful spin and solve activities for math practice

Another great math skill for second graders to practice is counting back from large numbers.  This will help them prepare for subtraction practice as they strengthen their knowledge of place value.  Students will use three different spinners to create a three-digit number. After writing down that number, they can then write the following numbers as they count back.

There are even more ways to use spin and solve activities to practice place value.  Your students will have fun spinning three times to create a three-digit number.  After recording the number they spun, they will color in the correct base ten blocks to model the number. If you put this worksheet in a sheet protector, students can use a dry erase marker to repeat this activity again and again. 

Place Value

By including spinners in these activities, students can practice place value using different numbers each time! After spinning to create a three-digit number, students can model it by drawing base ten blocks on the paper. 

Two holiday-themed math activities

Odd and Even

Another skill that students can review using spinner activities is determining if a number is odd or even.  Students can use the spinners to create a two-digit number.  After writing down the number, they can color the correct gumdrop to show whether the number is even or odd.

Doubles Addition

Festive coloring pages are always a hit in December, so why not bring some coloring fun to math practice?  For this activity, students will choose from one of two spinners.  After landing on a number, they will double the number to find what color they will use. If you would like this activity to take a longer amount of time, students will spin and color just one block at a time.  If time is more limited, students can color all of the blocks of a given number at one time.

A spin and solve coloring activity

Multi-Digit Addition

There are several fun activities to help students practice addition with multiple digits.  For example, this activity uses four spinners that students can use to build two different two-digit numbers.  After modeling each number with base ten blocks, students can use the model to add these two numbers.  

A Christmas themed two-digit addition activity

Printable Holiday Math Activities for 2nd Grade

The math skills above (and more) can be practiced in a festive way with these holiday math activities for second grade.  Each of the thirteen math skills come with two page options to use with your students. These printables are meant to help your students review important math skills before leaving for the holiday break.  Since the spinner format is similar for all of the activities, students will have no trouble completing these activities independently. This makes them a great option for independent learning times such as math centers and morning work!

Create Good Homework Habits With This 3-Step Plan

Motivate your child to finish their schoolwork successfully..

If your elementary schooler doesn’t like reading or doing homework without resistance, you’re not alone. 

Fortunately, there are steps you can take to spark your child’s interest in learning outside of the classroom. Creating structure in your child’s day with an after-school schedule will help them stay focused and avoid homework fatigue.

Here are tips to help your child use their after-school time well and ease some of the stress you both may be experiencing.

1. Set Up a Schedule 

Agree on a “lights out” time and work backward. Here's a sample homework schedule to help you with your planning. This schedule is designed for a child who dislikes doing homework, so it allows multiple breaks throughout the evening. (It’s worth noting, however, that some children do their best work right after school, when energy levels are still high.)

  • 4:00 p.m.  Rest, relax. Kids need space and downtime in their schedules.
  • 4:30 p.m.–5:30 p.m.  Sports, art, and other planned activities.
  • 5:30 p.m.–6:30 p.m.  Homework time! Have your child do theirs in the kitchen or somewhere close by while dinner is being prepared, so they don’t feel isolated and can ask questions. If your child has a dedicated “homework nook,” be sure to pop in often to see how they’re doing and offer words of encouragement.
  • 6:30 p.m.–7:30 p.m. Dinner and quality family time.
  • 7:30 p.m.–8:00 p.m.  Homework wrap-up (if needed).
  • 8:00 p.m.–8:30 p.m. Free time! If your family typically watches TV in the evening, you might consider switching on a streaming series or documentary that complements your child’s classroom instruction.
  • 8:30 p.m.– 9:00 p.m. Nightly read-aloud! This is the time to get your 20-30 minutes of daily reading in for stronger literacy skills. (Here’s some benefits of reading to your elementary schooler nightly .)

2. Talk to the Teacher 

Your child’s teacher can tell you how much time students should be spending on homework nightly. Generally, students in elementary school should have between 10 and 15 minutes of homework for each grade year. This means a child in 4th grade may have between 40 and 60 minutes of homework a night; often this includes some reading.

Teachers will also have ideas for motivating students who are disinterested in doing homework. When you speak with your child’s teacher, raise any concerns you have about at-home learning, like if your child struggles to do their homework, since these may be signs of a learning disability .

Your child’s teacher will be able to discuss in-class performance, and together the two of you can create a day-to-night plan that promotes your child’s success.

3. Develop the Homework Habit

Once you establish a schedule that works for you and your child — including any limits on TV and tech time — be sure to stick to it. Consistency is key to developing good homework habits.

These are valuable years for teaching your child how to keep schoolwork, play, fitness, and other activities in balance. You’ll be helping them with an important life lesson — and hopefully establishing a little more harmony at home.

8 Elements to a Successful Homework Routine

holiday homework routine

Setting aside the debate about whether or not homework is beneficial , there’s no doubt that it’s a staple of most kids’ academic routines. And while a missed assignment here or there may seem like no big deal, you might be surprised about how chronic lateness or missed practice can spiral into long-term negative impacts. Kids can quickly find themselves confused, getting bad test grades , and struggling with stress and anxiety in school.

That’s all the more reason to get a solid homework routine in place and make adjustments as needed. 

(Don’t get us wrong: we’re not proposing that kids race through their homework and turn in sloppy, incomplete work. When assigned correctly, homework provides valuable opportunities for practice, and kids should take advantage of those opportunities.) 

Here are eight elements to creating a homework routine that will help kids and teens complete assignments quickly—and well!

1. Build good assignment recording habits 

Yes, the secret to getting homework done quickly and correctly starts before kids finish their school day! 

Think about it. 

If they’re missing key details about assignment instructions or where to find what they need, the homework process automatically gets longer and more frustrating.

So, encourage your student to ask their teacher clarifying questions in class or during the school day. Teachers will often establish clear routines about where homework assignments can be found (posted in the classroom, on their website etc.). Kids should be well-versed in these routines and accustomed to writing them down or recording them as needed. If your student isn’t there yet, it’s a great place to start. 

2. Create a dedicated workspace

Ask your child: where do they do their homework? Is it on the couch with Netflix going in the background, or on the go between other activities?

If that’s the case, that could well be the root of the issue. A focused environment can make all the difference in getting homework done efficiently. Talk with your child about the best environment for giving their homework their undivided attention. 

3. Remove electronic distractions

They deserve their own category because of how frequently they are the true culprits!

As most parents are likely aware, social media, video games, and other online platforms can be a major distraction if they’re within reach during homework time. Make sure they’re removed from where your child is doing their homework: cell phones should remain in a different room, try using websites like Blocksite if internet access is necessary for their homework, and encourage low-tech alternatives (a handheld calculator instead of a cell phone, a textbook instead of a laptop, etc.).

4. Make a schedule and stick to it

Encourage your child to take stock of the night’s assignments and stick to a homework schedule to make sure they’re on track. They may need help at first to estimate how much time each assignment might take, and support from you can go a long way here! 

It also helps to jot down this schedule somewhere to have a visual reminder of how things are going. That way, if kids get distracted or are perhaps over-analyzing a homework problem, they can remember the plan.

5. Take time to gather necessary materials

Last-minute scrambling can be a major time suck. And by being proactive, your student can avoid that scramble. Before jumping into their homework, kids should make sure they have everything they need.  

This should factor into the schedule-making phase of doing homework, and once they have everything they require, kids can get started. If you’re concerned that this process might in itself become a distraction for your child, it’s probably a good idea to support and/or supervise this process, at least until kids can navigate it independently. 

6. Plan for overcoming distractions

Changing habits takes time, and expecting perfection can actually hinder progress more than it can help. Especially as kids adjust to their new homework routine, distractions and slip-ups are bound to happen, so it’s best to have a plan in place for that eventuality.

It might be wise to anticipate how kids can respond quickly if they miss an assignment or get sidetracked. Work with them to develop a plan for getting back on track, a habit that will be equally important in building strong homework habits. 

7. Schedule breaks

Wouldn’t it be nice if we could power through our to-do lists without needing to stop and take a breath? Yes, but unfortunately, we’re only human! So, it makes all the sense in the world to schedule breaks into the homework schedule. 

Ideally, these breaks should be quick and planned as part of the schedule your child has created, potentially with your help. Shoot for 5-10 minutes, something kids can easily pick up and put down so they can get back to work.

8. Pick a reward for successful homework completion! 

Positive reinforcement is what keeps good habits going over time. Make sure to praise your child for knocking out their homework in a timely manner. Brainstorm with your child about long and short term rewards, and you’ll be amazed at how they can sustain positive change. 

With all the demands of school today, it’s a game changer to have one less thing to worry about.

How to Establish a Great Homework Routine

Are you tired of disorganization when it comes to your child’s homework? Or having to nag your child about when and how they will get their homework done? A great homework routine can put an end to these struggles. Establishing the right homework routine will create good study habits that will help your child from Kindergarten through high school and beyond. Here’s how to set one up!

Establishing a Homework Routine that Works!

homework routine

1. Schedule Time for Homework

You probably have things in your own life, whether it’s cleaning the house, doing your taxes, or getting together with friends, where if you don’t put it on your schedule it isn’t going to happen.

The same thing is true for homework. If you want to establish a homework routine, you need to plan time for homework on the family calendar.

The ideal situation is for homework to happen at the same time every day. Whether it’s directly after school or after your child has a little time to snack and unwind. It should be part of the daily routine.

If your child has after-school activities that make homework at the same time every day impossible, make sure you still schedule time for homework. And try to at least have a weekly schedule that is consistent regarding homework time.

You’ll want to make sure you allow enough time for homework to be completed. Talk to your child’s teacher about their expectations for time spent on homework to help determine how much time you need.

It’s also a good idea to talk to your child about when they want to do their homework. Discuss with them what they feel is the best time of day for homework. This doesn’t mean they get the final say about timing, but older kids especially may have strong feelings about a time that works for them.

And when you choose a time, consider whether your child needs some food and exercise before they sit down for a long stretch.

2. Choose a Homework Space

Once you have the timing down for your homework routine, you need to consider the location. Do you have a designated homework area with desks and supplies? Or do your kids spread their stuff out on the kitchen table at homework time?

When you decide on the best homework space, you want to consider a few factors. Does your child work better when they are alone and free of distractions? Or do they need you nearby to help them with questions and encourage them to stay on task?

Some kids need background noise, others work best in silence. You may even need to set your kids up in different areas from each other if they have different needs for completing their homework in a stress-free environment.

Try to keep individual needs in mind when you consider the best place in your home for school work. And set your kids up for success.

homework routine

3. Establish Rules for Homework Time

A great homework routine will include some rules for how that time will be spent. This may include rules about silencing cell phones and putting them away during homework time.

Rules around electronics and other distractions are some of the most important. Sure, your child may need a tablet or computer for their homework sometimes. But other electronics are likely to be an endless source of distraction.

Consider whether you need to set rules and time limits for breaks during homework time. Sure, kids may need to get up and stretch their legs or use the bathroom. But an endless stream of excuses for breaks won’t result in homework being completed.

You may also want to establish some rules around your role in their homework. Will you be checking their work to make sure it’s completed? Or will it be more on the honor system? And your child’s age will be a huge factor here.

A great homework routine should help your child work towards greater independence when it comes to school work as they get older. You can’t go off to college with them. So, as your child gets older, they should become more responsible for completing their homework with minimal reminders and check-ins with mom and dad.

Stick to It!

When you’re trying to establish any new routine, there is going to be some adjustment time. Commit to sticking it out with your homework routine, even if you face some initial resistance. Once the routine becomes a habit, it will be such a part of daily life for your kids that battles over homework will be few and infrequent. And your kids will be on the path to greater self-sufficiency and success with school work.
