sidenote-but have you tried Post It Notes on the papers? My DD doesn't like when we write on the homework itself to show her something, I think it offends her aesthetically, lol! Anyway, I have a lot of luck with Post Its, which she just seems to enjoy and you can move it around and you didn't actually write on the paper...


I get excited when the library lets me know my books are ready for pickup...
