5 Tips for Organizing Your Home School Area - The Ultimate Solution Guide to Simple School Supply Organization

Hey, hey! It’s no secret that most of us are staying home while COVID-19 simmers down (and hopefully goes away for good). Whether you’re participating in virtual school or homeschooling, I’m about to throw down some crazy value AND a freebie so stick around until the end of this post! 😉

We’ve been homeschooling for about 2.5 years and one of the biggest challenges we faced was getting ALL THE THINGS organized. I constantly try to teach my daughter that everything has a home and how important it is to clean up after ourselves.

It builds responsibility, independence and organization skills. These are crucial, especially when teaching your littles!

Notice in the title I didn’t write homeschool. That’s because these tips apply to anyone doing any type of school in your home this year: virtual or homeschool.⁣

If there is anything I can teach you as a mom, wife + educator, it is that organization is a MUST. 👏

Tip #1: PLAN

Create or use a planner to organize your designated area, schedule, materials, thematic units, curriculum, and miscellaneous ideas. 📝

Tip #2: SUPPLIES

Make a list of the supplies you’ll need (or use your child’s school supply list). Then, give everything a home and be consistent with clean-up on a daily basis. 🖍⁣

Tip #3: LABEL

Create labels for all the bins. Clutter is distracting and won’t help your littles concentrate. I made these 👆 over the weekend! 🎨⁣

Tip #4: SIMPLIFY

Place all unnecessary items in bigger containers/bins and store in a nearby space or closet. Minimize the objects that are accessible to your littles and only keep what they need. 🎨⁣

Tip #5: ROTATE

Rotate the stored items to keep them “new” and interesting but also with a purpose. If they are related to the thematic unit you are teaching/they are learning, bring them out! 🚂⁣
