Organizing our homeschool day

Here is how we organize our day.  Each child has a storage cube full of daily assignments.

 What's in each cube?  Lots of clear zip-loc bags.  I labeled each bag with a subject and assigned each subject a number.  I put each subject in the order I would like each child to complete it.  It may be different for every child depending on how teacher-intensive it is.   As the bags are completed, I try to get them filled with the next day's assignment.  Often times, I put a snack or something fun in a less desirable subject to make it more 

fun and give the children something to look forward to.

When the bag is complete the number is moved to the number strip.  When the number strip is full school is done for the day! 

Each  child is color-coded.  They got to choose their favorite color, Emily is red, Alyssa is yellow and Michael is green (of course) Go Ducks! 

We use My Father's World for our core curriculum.  All the student sheets are organized neatly in 3-ring binders.  The binders are complete with a 3-ring pencil pouch and a 3-subject notebook to help keep all the "necessary" items in one easy location.  This helps minimize our precious time from searching for a pencil or clean sheet of notebook paper.  

My Father's World Kindergarten.  Again, I put all the student sheets in one easy location.  I have dividers for all 26 weeks and subjects to help keep it organized.

This year we will exploring Countries and Cultures.  Here is our notebook all ready to go. This contains all the student sheets, passport, pencil pouch and 3-subject notebook.  As the student sheets are completed the kids can file them behind the appropriate divider labeled with World or a specific continent.
