Are you suddenly homeschooling? And looking for organization ideas? This Homeschool Organization system will help your child be more independent and help YOU keep everything from taking over the house!

These homeschool organization tips will help a TON with your at home learning!

Here we are.  Working and school from home.  When you probably didn't expect it.  So I'm guessing you don't already have a homeschool organization system set up and ready to go.  Whether you have one child at home or a whole bunch, I can guarantee getting your learning supplies and the work they've brought home from their classroom will help time management and your sanity.  And I promise? This is pretty simple.

Homeschool Organization: What to Do and What You Need

Shop the Bins:

You may have a whole homeschooling room or you may be using your dining room table.  This homeschool organization system will work in small spaces.  YOU NEED BINS.  One for every subject or activity.  And if you have multiple children? They each need their own set of bins.  Why? Because the goal here is self sufficiency and keeping things organized.  We have a bin for phonics activities, a bin for writing, a bin for math games, a bin for reading books, a bin for math worksheets, a bin for science, and a bin for art supplies.  Technology pieces are stored separately in a larger plastic tub.  I used baskets we already had on hand and labeled them with post its.  Now that we are probably in this for the long haul? I just ordered these colored plastic bins.  They're super easy to keep clean and organized and it's probably really teacher-y but I love how they're already color coded.

Now if you have multiple children? How does this work? You're going to get a set for EACH KID.  Yes, even the toddlers or preschoolers.  Why? Not necessary because they need academic work in them….but because they'll be part of the system.  A lot of you are working from home and trying to implement an at home learning schedule or routine while you do that.  Kudos.  This is HARD and not something we expected.  These bins will help.  Have a conference call? Tell them which bin to use.  Yup, even the toddler can get their blocks from the purple bin.  The point of the colors? Even if they can't READ, they know the colors.

Now how are you going to get through those conference calls? You prep the boxes.  The night before.  Super simple activities.  If your kids are old enough, printable worksheets are a great option for SOME subjects (I've even got some ABC worksheets for younger kids).  I'd do a couple practice rounds while you're not, you know on a call with all your coworkers.  Have the kids practice getting materials, setting up and completing a task, then putting them away.  The more comfortable they are, the more smoothly this will go.  Trust me, you don't want kids running around looking for crayons, scissors, and glue while you're trying to have a meeting or, you know collect your thoughts.

Simple, right? I guarantee this homeschool organization system will help you navigate at home learning with a little less chaos!

<hosted by Disney> I had ONE thing I wanted to do during our day at Epcot before we sail away for the Christening of the Disney Wish tomorrow.  And it lived up to every expectation I had. ⠀
⠀
Seriously, this ride is a magical addition to the parks (and I know WDW people it’s not new to you but it was new to us Disneylanders…..I’m SO glad I didn’t watch ride spoilers beforehand……it was so fun to experience it this way!)⠀
⠀
So, if you had to pick ONE thing to do at Walt Disney World….what would your priority be? Now I have to know (and why is it something Epcot related).⠀

Come on a journey with me……cause all this happ Come on a journey with me……cause all this happened before coffee this morning.

Remember that trip to Walt Disney World I had planned for January? That we ended up postponing indefinitely?

Scroll for a snippet of the 68 text messages I woke up to….and scroll again for the only video that appropriately expresses my excitement.

🌴This kiddo is officially a 3rd grader and I can’t believe we are already halfway through elementary school (acknowledging that I’m that mom saying it goes too fast). Yesterday was a half day, and we had a fun little family celebration in the afternoon.⠀
⠀
🎥Robbie’s dad was in town, and the team from Netflix invited us to a personal screening of their new movie The Sea Beast (it will be on Netflix on July 8th). LOVE LOVE LOVED this movie, it’s a super fun family adventure film and loved even more that we got to see it in our VERY own movie theater (scroll to see Lydia doing cartwheels down the aisle because….why wouldn’t you if you were on your own in a movie theater?)⠀
⠀
✨Today, we’re off to our favorite place (leave your guesses in the comments) for a mini-staycation………⠀
⠀
☀️Hello summer, I missed you.⠀
