Home School
Supplies
by Lisa R Preston
Many of us automatically think “curriculum” when it comes to home school supplies. But a variety of “hands-on” materials are necessary as well. If we have a list of these at hand, it’s easier to take advantage of periodic sales and yard sale bargains!
Here’s a list of home school items you may want o stock up on during the July/August school sales. Items in blue are those I think are necessary or extremely helpful.
First off, here’s a list for Mom and Dad.
Film, plan book (a composition book is fine), blank audio tapes, 1 clear plastic container/tub per child (big enough to hold work and art projects, small enough to fit under the bed), for middle and senior high children, a “filing box” would be a helpful organizer
