You can be the most organized person in the world but if your
kids are not organized you will pull your hair out trying to keep yourself that
way. We love our children but we learn
fast that they generally don’t have the organizational drive that we do. I have tried several different things to keep
my kids homeschool stuff organized.
I learned fast that sending their school books to be placed
neatly on their desks in their room is NOT a good idea! Things get lost and destroyed in their bedrooms. One of the things that I started doing that
has worked is I have a small shelving unit and I have a spot on it for each
child to stack all of their books, papers, etc.
The rule is when their work is done all items go back on their spot on
the shelf. That way I can find
assignments to grade and we don’t spend half the day finding the spelling book
that was swallowed up by the bedroom.
