SC049: Organized Homeschool White Board - Convivial Homeschool Audio Blog - classical & cheerful homeschooling moms
Summary: <a href="https://www.simplyconvivial.com/ch-season8">Season 8: Organize Homeschool Stuff</a><br> I’ve created a few iterations of a chore board over the last year and a half. First it was a poster board frame, and I wrote directly on the hard plastic frame. That worked well, because I could tuck it away quickly and easily when I didn’t want our schedule, consequences, and school assignments on display.<br> Then, my 3-year-old used it as a slide (which means he was climbing up it). The frame and plastic cracked.

Gather the books and your memory work and make them a home; a shelf, a container, a box.<br> Print or write out your agenda and make it handy and durable. You can use a clipboard, page protectors, or laminate a page. It’s one thing to buy the books and supplies, to make a plan, to create a chart, and quite another to actually pull it off in a typical day. Days never go exactly as imagined but it’s worth it to take the time and imagine the day even so.<br> The more practice in imagining the day and planning for contingencies before the heat of the moment the better you’ll become at rolling with the punches of a real life homeschool day in a household bustling with people.<br> <br> <br> Spread the word!<br> <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/simply-convivial-audio-blog/id1150854418">Leaving a review on iTunes</a> will help other homeschooling moms discover this podcast!<br> <br> <br> <br>
