Homeschooling with Mini Offices




My incredible, homeschooling mom of four, sister in law, Rebecca, turned me on to mini offices last year! They have been such a blessing. They allow all of us to work at the same table without all of the distractions siblings can bring. They also have saved a lot of tears over having to look up common words that one has forgotten how to spell, math facts, parts of speech etc... We filled ours with colorful charts and helping hints. One side for math and one side for reading/language arts stuff, so it's reversible. We are thinking about making another one for science and social studies. Just google mini offices, the ideas are endless. To make, just take two or three file folders (depending on how big you want it) and glue or tape your hints onto it, then I recommend using clear packing tape to tape the folders together at the seams. Here's what ours look like: Enjoy!
