Hi Amy,
Thanks for posting this. I have used so many of your ideas! I only have 2 kids (teenagers now), but I work, help my husband with his business, and am going back to school myself, so we probably have a similar level of “busy” and need to be efficient where we can. We have used Teaching Textbooks all along, and I just started using Compass Classroom for my son this year. He is dyslexic, and I was looking for curriculum with video lectures and a way to get an audio version of readings, so that everything he learns doesn’t have to come out of my mouth. It’s fantastic.
We have always used our living/dining area for school. All the materials we don’t use daily are in other places in the house, and we are all beyond the crayon stage, so this is working for us. I suppose there are other spaces we could use, but any of them would feel so separated. I need to be down here in the middle of everything. A couple years ago, I had my husband build me a cabinet for our homeschool things that used to live on the table and had to be moved around daily. Now the three of us each have a cubby wide enough for a milk crate and 2 binders deep. It definitely would benefit from a door, but I’m just so happy it’s not all over the table! If only I could train my son how to put books on a shelf so that they are all vertical.
