How I Organize our Homeschool Room

No matter how organized I am, I always find myself looking for new and more effective ways to organize our homeschool room and supplies.

Here is a tour of our homeschool room! We have a large table in the center of the room with a Recollections Storage Desktop Carousel.  I absolutely love this carousel as it makes for easy access to daily supplies.

This side table stores various supplies that are awkward shaped.  On top is a Creative Grab N’ Go Rack System, and it is full of washi tape, sequins and miscellaneous small crafting and school supplies. I use an inexpensive magazine file holder to store cardstock, sorted by colour and I also have various small pieces of cardstock in the box next to the magazine file.  A little wooden box stores small projects that we are currently working on.

I absolutely love our 10-drawer organizer cart.  I bought this one at Michaels, but you can also find them on Amazon. It contains glue, crafting markers and pencils, stamp pads, more crafting paper and stickers.  The drawers are great for organizing a wide variety of items with very easy access.  I also have a couple drawers available for storage of the current projects that my children are working on. I store the wipes, tape runner, dot-a-dot markers and some stamp sets on top.

This cabinet is organized using clear Dollar Store containers so that we can see what is in each container.  Items such as felt, clothes pins, foam shapes, crafting feathers, twine and yarn are stored here.

Our paint supplies are stored in a basket in a closet off of the schoolroom.  The paint trays and painting aprons are also stored next to the basket so we can grab it all at once when we want to paint.

We use a Kallax shelfing unit from Ikea to organize our curriculum and books.

 

With a very busy two year old who is excellent at getting into almost everything, we will be using our kitchen table the majority of the time this year as it will be easier to keep tabs on my youngest. Each evening I will go downstairs with a small storage container to bring up any required supplies for the next day. For this year, any of our 2017-2018 curriculum is being stored upstairs in a living room bookshelf for easier access when working at the kitchen table.

Organization of our homeschool room is a work-in-progress at all times. This 30 Days to Homeschool Organization blog party is a great way for all of us to learn new tips!

Every day is an adventure. Not every day goes as p Every day is an adventure. Not every day goes as planned. Some days are fun, some days are wonderful, other days are stressful and some days may be discouraging. If we look at each day as an adventure, we can then take the lessons learned from the successes and failures and start tomorrow a fresh beginning.

Sometimes we get so consumed with living life, tha Sometimes we get so consumed with living life, that we forget to enjoy the little moments. Evenings, like this one, are our reminder to treasure every moment because time goes by way too fast. The beautiful sunsets, the family cuddles watching @alaska.thelastfrontier and the time spent together doing the routine tasks, like morning chores and cooking meals. Within every moment, there is something special. It just takes finding it, by slowing down and appreciating the life we are living.
Wow! What a beautiful day! We took a few hours to Wow! What a beautiful day! We took a few hours to go skiing and then we celebrated a birthday this afternoon. The fog and the sun made for some gorgeous photos, I will post more in the days to come. How did you enjoy your Saturday?
Cheers to life’s simple pleasures, friends! Ever Cheers to life’s simple pleasures, friends! Every day is full of micro-moments of joy, like watching a beautiful sunset or the the few minutes of fun when walking down to do chores with my boys every morning, you just have to be looking for them. What’s one of life’s simple pleasures that you love?
What’s the weather like where you are? Here in K What’s the weather like where you are? Here in Knutsford, it’s always windy and today it is snowing. Whether it’s cold and snowy in your neck of the woods or if you have the white caps of the ocean waves, I hope you’re enjoying your Monday! I certainly am, as I’m cuddled up in the couch organizing cattle records and beef deliveries and watching the snow fall. I just wanted to say thanks for letting me be a part of of your day!
