Come and Keep Your Homeschool Room Organized

Late last year, the school I found that my home school wardrobe was quite messy. It’s easy to get on the shelves and drawers in a catch-all for all the stray papers and cute drawings that the children have done throughout the year. But if I remember correctly, this was a problem at the end of the school. Things fell off the shelf, I want every child to reach the books for the day. It was pretty annoying, especially when I was nine months pregnant at the end of the school. Stoop to retrieve different objects and was not a nice thing to do.

In the years before school starts, I cleaned out the school cloakroom. It’s back to basics. No more hanging in her small toys and pencils lost or broken leg. Everything has its place and everything is in place. I bought some of those disposable plastic containers and put all the crayons in and all the other brands. All legs are in a separate container, too. The scratch paper and paper manufacture has their own four walls in the lower shelves and all the scissors and tape and glue sticks are safe in their own special basket, too.

There is so much more comfortable to reach and grab a book and not a dozen other things may fail. It’s nice to be able to know exactly where a particular shop, and they are able to quickly without having to dig through the mess. But really, it’s like last year started school too. Neat and clean and organized.

So, what should I do differently this year to ensure that the chaos to sneak back into the closet?

Well, here is the plan of attack. At the end of each school day, school books their place in the appropriate boxes on their shelves or be right back. Any stray papers that are not required to directly in the trash. Everything is just too cute, very well done as drawings or documents that I have not removed the heart, in a special binder to go. At the end of each month, I will cull through the binder and the things I do not actually need to be. (This is not easy, but it will be crucial with so many kids like me! Otherwise our school room with all the “nice” paper that I want to keep obsolete!)

If you have some good ideas for proper storage of your homeschool room area and organized, I would like to hear from you!
