Whether you are in the home stretch of your homeschooling journey or brand new to the concept, organization is key to your homeschool success. Keeping your children focused and on task is essential to their growth and achievement in home school, which means it’s up to you to set a straightforward routine that is simple and enjoyable to follow. To help you organize for success, here are a few tips to keep you on the right track. 

Make Use Of Space

The size of your homeschool space is genuinely irrelevant when it comes to organization. The largest of areas can fall victim to clutter and mess just as easily as smaller spaces. Consider vertical storage options such as cubicle shelving that will keep all of your homeschool supplies in order without taking up precious square footage. Shelving can be fastened to the wall to ensure safety and reach up to the ceiling to make good use of your space. 

Supply Caddie

There is a reason teachers use supply caddies in their classrooms; they work. Purchase a couple of supply caddies to hold essential writing, coloring, cutting, and measuring tools used daily in your homeschool classroom. Having these items close at hand keeps the lessons moving forward smoothly without time searching for needed educational tools. If you make these items easy to access, your children will be able to concentrate on their studies rather than search for the appropriate tool. 

Color Coordinate Your Way To Success

Using color-coded systems can work in a myriad of ways in your homeschool classroom. If you teach more than one child at a time, designate a color for each child and keep their binders, bins, and other educational tools in that one color for easy recognition. Color coding will help your child develop independent learning skills quicker as they can detect their work and their items on their own at any time. 

Color coding can also come in handy for a single student homeschool situation. It can be used to designated categories of subjects, work by days of the week, and any other way you individually use it to organize your class.  

Stick To A Routine

Even the most adept self-starters can fall victim to disarray. Determine a homeschool routine that will work for your family and stick with it to keep your kids and yourself on track. Forming these routines is an essential part of developing a strategy for your teaching and learning that will set the tone for reaching immediate and projected educational goals.
