~*My Father's Sheep*~

I organized my school supplies a few years ago and what a world of difference it made!! It was worth the time & $. We purchased a large closet cabinet from Home Depot. I have my VOM poster and some missionary pictures on the front to remind me to pray for them. On the inside of the doors on one side I taped the further study focus for the WB.This is helpful for a quick reference. On the other door I have taped the Course Codes & info. on a Carnegie unit for my highschool students. I got these forms from the ATI website.

This is the inside of the cabinet. As you can see I purchased organizers and a label machine to label them. I prefer clear organizers.

I have drawers for my school supplies & scrapbooking supplies. The larger drawers are for my binding machine supplies, crafts stuff, file folders, etc. That is located on the farthest left side. I have a bad habit of keeping everything for crafts.This keeps me in check because if the draw is full then I need to get rid of something before I can add to it.It makes me prioritize.

I have one loose container for whatever I want for it. In the winter I kept my co-op students folders in there currently I have it full with my Apologia Botany kit for the fall.

I have drawers for stickers, paper, notebooks, tape, glue sticks, scraps, clear page protectors etc.

The nice thing is all the drawers come out so we can carry our supplies to were we are working. We will pull out the colored pencil, marker, or crayon drawer then put it back when we are done. This helps my kids keep everything in place.

I use a label machine to label the drawer. They can easily be changed as needs change. I label everything!!!

1. The drawers are also great to organize the CCC! I also love to use magazine racks to organize my school room. Next to my desk I have three magazine racks.

• Wisdom Booklet Future ( parent planners for the 8 WB I plan to do in the school year)
• Wisdom Booklet Planner (planners & WBLA teachers books)
• Wisdom Booklet Current ( all the students & parents WB currently working on)

Next to my computer I also have my organizer for the Greek & vocabulary cards for the WB.On the very bottom shelf I have all my Dinah Zike books. On my desk I have a small organizer for pens & pencils etc.

Each student has their own magazine rack to place their notebooks, books reading, WBLA spelling notebook etc. They each decorated their own rack awhile back and now the stickers are coming off which I am sure the older students don't mind :O)

I pray this is a blessing to someone or sparks an idea to make your life easier as a homeschool mom!
