Utilizing StudyMate Grow

 

Structured Workspace

• Top Left Zone: Place larger, infrequently used items like books or a clock. The educational characters in this area serve as fun learning companions.
• Top Middle Zone: This is for smaller, frequently used items such as pencils, color pens, erasers, glue, and sharpeners.
• Top Right Zone: Position your supportive items like rulers, set squares, and scissors here—tools needed now and then for various projects.

 

Interactive and Educational Guidance

• Learning Cards: Situated on the left side below the zones, the learning cards help children categorize their homework by subject—Maths, Reading, Art, or Music—with fable characters symbolizing each skill set.

 

Bee-Themed Workflow

• Start: The 'START' section encourages preparation with a clean desk, a ready glass of water, and awareness of time to begin homework punctually.
• Work: The workflow moves from 'easy' tasks symbolized by a feather, progressing to more challenging tasks indicated by a kettlebell, and then to quick, finishing tasks depicted by a hare.
• Finish: Upon completing homework, the 'FINISH' section underscores the importance of review by a parent, tidying the desk, and packing the school bag with completed work.
