Everything You Need to Create a Better Learning Environment at Home

Pencils and sharpeners

Don’t forget the classics! Graphite still works best for figuring out math problems. Most schools recommend Ticonderoga No. 2 pencils, but if you want to get creative or mechanical there are a lot of options. You will also want a vacuum-mounted manual pencil sharpener that won’t break easily like small handheld sharpeners or fancy electronic versions. Remember to stock up on extra erasers.

However you decide to create a learning-friendly space in your home during this upcoming, sure-to-be-extraordinary semester, we are all in this together. Someday, hopefully soon, our kids can reunite in school buildings for in-person instruction, inevitable drama and consistent routines as we get back to a new school normal.
