One of the first things that I discovered when I started homeschooling was how much PAPER we used. While we do use digital resources, I've found that all our brains work better when we have printed materials to hold, write on, and read.
Side note: having an Eco-tank printer and my own binding machine has been a game changer for our homeschool.
With all of these notebooks and papers comes an organizing challenge. Homeschool rooms can be messy, especially if you don’t have a system in place to keep things under control. Keeping your homeschool records, paperwork, and other homeschool supplies organized is necessary so that you know where everything is, and you don't end up printing more than you need because you can't find things.
For those of us who need to keep a homeschool portfolio, organizing records and completed work is even more crucial. If you don't have a system you will be scrambling at portfolio time, and you don't want to have to recreate an entire year's work. Keep things in a designated spot, along with using my reverse planner and journal, makes creating a homeschool portfolio easy.
So how do you create an organizing system that works for your homeschool? Head to Amazon! I'll show you my top 10 homeschool paper organizing finds and how you can use them to get organized today.
