Back to School Recos You’ll Love From the Bahay Turo Team

As the new school year begins, we know the transition can be both exciting and overwhelming. That’s why we’ve asked the Bahay Turo Team — real moms and teachers — to share their favorite Back to School recommendations to help make the journey smoother, more organized, and even joyful.

From after-school routines to study spaces, here are their tried-and-tested tips:

After-School Hacks from Teacher Bea

Teacher Bea knows how important it is to create structure while still allowing space for rest and recovery after a long school day. Here are her simple after-school tips:

Snack & rest

Kids need to decompress before jumping into tasks. Give them 30 minutes to eat and relax.

Set a “homework hour” with Bahay Turo

Having a fixed time makes homework more manageable. Need help? Try Bahay Turo’s Homework Help sessions — designed to guide students without pressure.

Pack for tomorrow

Avoid the morning rush by prepping bags the night before.

Healthy Baon Ideas from Mommy En

Mommy En believes that a healthy, happy tummy leads to better focus in class. Her baon ideas are nutritious and kid-approved:

Bento lunches

A variety of small portions keeps things interesting

Veggie sticks & dip

Add fun with yogurt- or hummus-based dips

Reusable containers

Reduce waste and save money in the long run

Time Management Tools from Teacher Blessy

Teacher Blessy is all about helping kids develop responsibility and independence. Her favorite time tools:

Timer apps

Visual timers like Time Timer help younger kids stay on task

Weekly planners

Whether digital or printed, they help map out homework and activities

Pomodoro breaks

25-minute focus sprints + 5-minute breaks = more productive time

Cozy desk

A comfy seat and the right table height can make a big difference
