Getting organized is the key to being a successful teacher as well as keeping your children involved, staying on task, and being successful themselves. I’m very structured and I have a room set aside just for a classroom. The children sit at a large table with plenty of space for their books and materials. I have the largest dry-erase board you can buy at a department store and a smaller dry-erase board by my desk for daily assignments. A must have is a “lesson plan book.” This will definitely help you stay organized and keep you ahead of the game. (I will detail this in my next blog.) I have a five tier bookshelf so each child has a place to keep materials and two shelves for myself to keep extra materials. I have a small table that I use as a desk with more shelving beside it for my “teacher’s books.” I also have a small rolling Rubbermaid 3-drawer caddy for pencils, pens, markers, staples; etc.
Everyone has a different style and you don’t have to go all out to be a good teacher and have your children enjoy homeschooling. I have accumulated a lot of these items over the years. Start out with the basics and slowly add to it. This is truly an individual experience. I just shared some of my ideas with you. I hope it has been helpful.
