The only five things you need for homeschooling
Dry Erase Pockets
Finding reusable, routine work is so important when homeschooling. When you're dealing with multiple ages and different skill levels, repeating routine work keeps things peaceful and organized. An you don't have to keep printing! Swimming in worksheets was what I refused to do. If I can't use a printable resource more than once, I'm not using it at all.
Dry erase pockets are the school supply I used the most while homeschooling. They were with me every morning. And color coded. If the colors are going to be a distraction and fought over, go with the all black option and stick on some labels. (I was there at one point). I find the colored ones to give so much versatility and organization.
