Homeschool basics and My advice

Yes, you will need to take advantage of free website sites such as worksheetfun.com. They have everything downloadable. Instankink is a company that provides ink to your door service. It’s very useful.

Whiteboard Perfect for fun, teaching and engagement.

Bookshelves Sold at the local goodwill often in pretty good condition. Be neat and orderly. A Book case can help tremendously.

More organization is never a bad idea. Put a label on everything. Homeschool stuff, Calendar, storage bins, home library system, filing paperwork. Customize everything.

To keep a system flowing. Create a crate system. A good idea for multiple children, file by color. Stay organized.

Large crates To store the filing folders.

A clip board comes in handy on several different occasions. You might have a child who gets overwhelmed with worksheets and work books every day. You can make it easy for the child. Put each assignment for the day on the clipboard. He can do each one, when finished, stock in the folder.

A dictionary is a great tool for homeschooling. A dictionary can be ideal for any age. You don’t have to have a specific spelling curriculum. Organize a list of words and make your child spell out and define. Look words up that they need help on.

Homeschooling is setting goals also. Timed math skills are sufficient. Addition and subtraction factors can be learned then measure efficiency. Also I like to set a timer when reading should be done. A timer is a great way to measure speed and accuracy when reading.

Anything with a Wi-Fi connection. Because the internet is life in 2020. A child should learn how to maneuver around on the internet. Coding skills are developed on internet.

Any type is fine. The good will usually has a decent selection. Stay organized. Store like item together. Papers, notebooks, rulers, envelopes, paper clips, rubber bands, glue, art supplies. Organize everything.

A global is great for learning spelling out states, continents, lakes, cities mountains and landscapes. Globes also teach sea route and air travel, gulfs, rivers and bays. Globe study teaches about deserts, upstream, downstream, altitude. It gives miniature pictures of a very large space

Calendar Children should learn days of the week, months, seasons and different times of the year

This will come in handy throughout your homeschooling year. There will be important paperwork that needs be kept and posted. Also a chore sheet. A daily/weekly to do list. A weekly menu. A daily reminder and so much more.

Pens pencil markers Stock up on basic supplies. The dollar tree has everything. Grab glue, tape, scissors rulers, pencil case. Clips and art supplies..

A quiet space for reading FREE LOL You may want to make sure that you create a calming environment for reading. Homeschool gets hectic. A lot goes on. No matter how you structure the day, surprises will happen. Remember the importance of giving the children a place to focus with no distractions.
