When my kids have been between preschool and about 3rd grade, I have set up a bin or folder (depending on how many materials are needed) for each day of the week that holds everything that child will need to do his homeschool work for the day.

Pages are torn out of workbooks and put into a folder labeled with the day of the week. If additional materials (such as art supplies, manipulatives, etc.) are needed, they are placed in a bin (also labeled with the day of the week) with the folder.

This has worked well for our family because over the weekend, I am able to gather all needed supplies for the entire week rather than having to gather them each day.

My older children are generally able to gather their own materials each day.

I would love to hear from you about how you organize your kids’ homeschool supplies and materials.

As always, we love to hear from you and get your ideas for improvements we can make to the system that will make your life easier. Leave a comment below or use the Contact Us page to send us your feedback.
