There are a lot of resources that may be used in the homeschool classroom. Given here is a list of four resources that will make it much easier for the homeschool parent in the classroom.
A White Board
So much can be explained and done on a white board. It does not have to be very large, but it would be a good idea if it is hung up on a wall of the homeschool classroom. Ensure that you have white board markers in all different colors available along with a duster to wipe the board clean.
Art and Craft Supplies
No matter what subject you decide to make a project in, you will need all kinds of art supplies. It’s a good idea to invest in these scissors, cutters, colors, pencils, sharpers, glue and staplers in bulk. They do not spoil over time and they will always be used in the homeschool classroom.
A Laptop and Color Printer
Most families will already have a computer dedicated to the homeschool classroom. Having a laptop with an internet connection is such a basic requirement, that it need not even be mentioned. However having a color printer available at home is a resource that is quite invaluable. So many worksheets, lesson plans, notes and more can be printed out right in the homeschool classroom if a color printer is available.
A Lamination Machine
This may at first not seem to be a very useful resource to spend money on in a homeschooling family. However the sheer number of pages, documents, flash cards, and chore lists that you can laminate and save time on later will be well worth the initial expense of investing in a lamination machine.
A Kindle
Books are the best resource that a homeschool classroom can invest in. However physical books take up a lot of space, which can be in short supply in the homeschool classroom. They also tend to cost much more than their digital counterparts. This means that buying and using e-books is a much better alternative to spending on physical books. Plus with the Amazon Kindle, you have the option to use the Kindle Unlimited membership to have free access to hundreds of books at a very low cost.
