30 Day Homeschool Room Reset Challenge

Start this 30-Day Challenge with me for a clean and orderly homeschool room for easier planning later.  Each daily Task → takes just 15 minutes. ​

Here's why I'm doing this right now.

1. When I clear out clutter, I can think more clearly.
2. The homeschool year is more enjoyable now.
   
3. I am set for effective planning later (see what you have & need).

Note 1
What are healthy points?  A simple way to track calories is to think: 100 calories = 1 point.  To make a point healthy, limit fat to 1-2 grams per 1 point (or 100 calories).  Eat 3-4 healthy points per meal to reach 12 points daily.

If you like counting calories better, just reach this daily goal:
1,200 calories + 20 grams fat or less.

​That's a Wow Day!

Note 2

How should I use the binder?  A simple way to keep a K-12 portfolio of your child is to purchase one large binder and place 13 dividers with tabs inside. 
File a sampling of your child's work each term under the proper
grade-level so you can see their progress. 

Note 3

What is a teacher station? A simple place to keep teaching supplies (teacher guides, chalk, pens, curriculum books, etc.) is a teacher station such as a basket, s shelf, a desk, or a set of plastic drawers.
