Organizing Your Homeschool in Small Spaces:
Are you feeling limited in a small house or apartment? There’s no need to worry. These posts have ideas to help you homeschool successfully all while living in a tiny home.
Here are a few of the items we’ve used to keep things organized in a small space. We homeschooled for several years in a 2 bedroom apartment with 2 small closets and a laundry closet that did have 2 shelves.
We stored supplies in these boxes from Sterilite (pictured right). I like these best because the tops have closures on the handles. I’ve been able to stuff more in those boxes vs. the storage boxes in which the lid snaps on. Wall space was at a minimum in the apartment, so we used this white board calendar with place for notes. It did help reduce the number of surprises in our calendar, like, “Ooops, I forgot we have rehearsal 4 nights this week!” When we were homeschooling with more spaced, this was on our school room wall. It was perfect for the kids know what was assigned for each subject. Some people use the file boxes, the hanging file was what we used. Plus, I used one row of spaces for household files–bills to be paid, receipts to save, tax-related documents. It saved a lot of space that crates would take up. The last item, which I LOVED during the elementary grades (before books got too heavy to fit inside the pockets), were these chair organizers. My daughter always had quite a few sticker books we’d put in there just for school “brain break” times, and I’d slip in a fun animal book I had picked up at our homeschool group book swap or at a thrift store. We also used it to store supplies, thinner spelling and vocabulary books.
