For homeschooling parents, sometimes your teaching area can look like a storm ripped through an office supply store. There are many ideas for organization. One that has worked for us is color-coding our kids for their school supplies. We are going into our eighteenth year homeschooling, and we have been using this from the very beginning.

When we started homeschooling years ago, each student was assigned a part of a bookshelf and a small bin for their supplies. No matter what I did, that way of organizing did not work. Things would get messy very quickly, workbooks were routinely lost, and piles of papers in our schoolroom/dining room were a regular fixture. We needed a different way of operating.

Lately, has your home resembled a college frat house on a Monday morning, after a weekend of hard partying? Maybe it looks like a park littered with debris after an outdoor concert. Perhaps your place has been in fine condition, but all you do is clean up after everyone, and they’re tap-dancing on your last nerve with their sloppy behavior.
You’re not alone.
