Five Creative Homeschool Organization Ideas that Won’t Break the Bank

You’re ready to start your homeschool. Before you can start teaching your children the state requirements, you must prove a great learning environment. Homeschooling in a small or large space doesn’t have to be difficult or impossible. You just need a little extra creativity. Here are five homeschool organization ideas that won’t break your bank.

Separate Rooms Into Spaces

It doesn’t matter if your homeschooler is in the 1st grade or high school. Organize the room in spaces. Do you know how a preschool room looks? The room is generally one big space with a lot of sections. 

For example, one space should be for learning. Thus, you have a whiteboard desk in that space. Another space should be for lunch. In that space, you’d need folding tables with adjustable heights, a multi-purpose side table or a portable TV tray. The center of the room should be for teaching lessons where your kid sits on the carpet while you read to them. 

Another idea is to buy a sofa chair and one or more end tables. This area can be for ready or study time. It doesn’t have to be a large area. It could be a sofa chair for children instead of a traditional one. 

If your classroom is too small to add a study area, you may want your dining room to double as a study area. This will allow your schooler to spread their work out on your dining room table. If you decide to use this as a study area, remember that it can be distracting because this means that other members in your household may be walking around and may interrupt their study time. 

Organize School Supplies in the Classroom

Keep your supplies within your student’s reach. Bins can be an easy and affordable way to do that. Each bin can be a “locker” for each child you’re teaching. If you don’t want to use bins, you have some other affordable ways to organize school supplies. For example, you can have a bookshelf to place supplies in or plastic food containers that are easy to stack. This will allow you to integrate the school supplies into your classroom instead of having them in a closet outside the classroom.

Use a Whiteboard in the Classroom

A whiteboard is the same as the chalkboards that are in some schools. The only difference is that you don’t have to send your homeschool outside to clean the chalk from the erasers. Instead, you use a marker to write on the whiteboard. One way to keep teach your homeschool and save space in your classroom is with a dry erase wall. The wall will allow you to teach your student without having to roll a chalkboard or whiteboard to and from a space in the classroom.

Use a Door Organizer in Your Classroom

A door organizer is a pretty affordable option and a creative idea. It has a lot of creative uses such as adding items in the classroom that you wouldn’t normally have space for. The organizer fits over-the-door. It has various size pockets that are perfect for placing things in such as extra school supplies, books or printable homework assignments. You can even place labels on the pockets so you can return graded homework.

Create a Functional Homeschool Room that is Just Like a Traditional Classroom

A traditional classroom is set up so a teacher can find everything they need to do specific activities in certain areas of the room. Your homeschool room should be set up the same way. Remember, envision the room just like a preschool room. You want an area for reading, another area for creative projects and a separate area for doing work at desks. These organization ideas are great and won’t break your bank. Bank on it!
