Setting Up the Homeschool Room How To
In chapter one, we learned about a simple homeschool schedule that works with our family together program of study. If you chose your curriculum, you are ready for the next step, Chapter 2: Setting Up the Homeschool Room. The good news is that you can do it for as little as $20. Let's take a look!

You will need:

  • Table and chairs (1 per family) or Desk and chair (1 per student)
  • Shelves
  • Chalkboard
  • Twine with Clothes Pins
  • School Supplies

#1 Table and Chairs

Your children will need a writing surface. You can simply gather around the kitchen table ($0*) or provide desk and chair ($100+ per child) in a dedicated homeschool space.
​$0 - $100+

#2 Shelves

You will need a place to store books, notebooks, and schools supplies. Why not use the kitchen hutch ($0*) or get a plastic drawer organizer ($25), a bookshelf ($100+) or even a basket or tote bag that you already have.
​$0 - $100+

#3 Chalkboard

Next, add a chalkboard to your homeschool space. You can tape off a large wall space and spray paint ($3) with black chalk paint or purchase a chalkboard ($25+) to hang. Don't forget to buy chalk too ($2).
$5 - $25+

#4 Twine & Clothes Pins

Look at the Dollar Tree for twine and clothes pins. Hang a strand in your home school room for posting Art Study Cards, Alphabet Cards, or other learning tools.
($2)

#5 School Supplies

Finally, make sure each child has a
  • King James Bible
  • ​Student Notebook (1 per program)
  • Journal (for Nature Study)
  • Pencils & Eraser
  • Crayons or Colored Pencils
  • Scissors & Glue Stick
  • Pencil Box, optional**

Most items can be purchased at the Dollar Tree, plus you can get a few teacher supplies such as stickers, chalk, and pen.
​($10+)
