HOMESCHOOL ORGANIZATION | Our Homeschool Cart

- Today I'm sharing one of my favorite parts of our homeschool organization - our homeschool cart! This cart has been great for homeschool curriculum organization. Of all the homeschool room organization ideas I've seen as I've researched homeschool tips, this has definitely been one of the more helpful tips for homeschooling in our house! I think it's an especially great option for homeschool organization for small spaces! The concept is simple, but it's made our homeschooling organization so much easier than it was before. I love looking to others for homeschool room ideas, so I hope this is helpful to you! Do you have any homeschool organization hacks that you love?

I'm Jess, a homeschool mom of two awesome girls. I'm a reluctant homeschooler turned full-blown homeschool convert! Being a homeschool newbie was a huge change, but we love being a homeschooling family! I've embraced my love for Charlotte Mason and running an eclectic homeschool. I'm so excited to join the homeschool community here on RUclips and get to know more homeschoolers out there! Whether you're a fellow homeschooling mom or are just interested in learning more about home education, I'm so glad you're here! I can't wait to share our homeschooling journey as I share my family's experience living, loving, and learning at home. Introduce yourself in the comments so I can say hello!

First, you are so fun to watch! Our area was a 6ft table behind the couch in the family room. The couch is pushed out from the wall with the table behind it and still room for a bookcase behind that against the wall. I was fairly happy back there but we took a break from school and it got turned into a craft area and is a mess and school stuff went everywhere. Thus I found your video LOL I was looking for organization help. I see a few videos with the carts and I think I love them. I only have one granddaughter that is eight that I am homeschooling. You definitely have a new subscriber and I've already seen other videos that I'm going to have to catch up on thank you so much
I am a convert this year too! My daughter was starting kindergarten fall 2020 and we decided to homeschool. I absolutely fell in love with it and already have some curriculum for next year. 😆❤️
That’s wonderful! Girl, I am going curriculum crazy at the moment! 😂 Never thought I’d love curriculum shopping so much, haha.
Just ordered one.. can't wait til it gets here 💕🙌
Our homeschool room is our third bedroom, which we also use as an office/sewing room. I have white wire drawers from IKEA in the closet that I had been storing fabric in and a cube shelf with baskets in there as well. All of their individual workbooks go into plastic magazine holders which fit on the cube shelf. The wire drawers hold chalkboards, white boards, tracing boards, school boxes, math boards and manipulatives. I like the carts, but I'm glad I can fit everything in that closet and close it off when I want to use the room to work in. I did have to find new homes for all of my fabric though!
Sounds like a great setup!
Looks great! We have a cart and use it solely for crafting/art supplies. It sits in our living room for my young kids to have access to. The most AMAZING part is that it's on wheels so I can push it into the bedroom when friends come over to play and I don't want EVERYONE to have access to it. 😅
That’s awesome! I really love the idea of an art cart! Someone else mentioned it too.
I have this same cart that we use as an art cart too! We also wheel it away when friends come! My 3/5/7 year olds have access to art supplies in the summer and are solely responsible for cleaning it up. It’s been great for them creatively and also for learning responsibility.
@@lindseybuhl762 Yes! It has been great! My youngest (2.5yo) learned how to do things that I don't think my oldest learned till she was late 3, early 4. Haha (such as cutting with scissors, using glue, holding a pencil/marker correctly). I love their freedom of creativity as well:)
Got a cart and was stumped on how to set it up. So your video was helpful. Thanx
Awesome! I’m so glad!!
I just got a cart today…woohoo!!!
You'll have to share how you're using it!!
I love to use dice and dominos for math! My five year old practices adding with them and my two year old practices counting. It adds an element of fun to it because they love to roll the dice and set up the dominos each time 🙂
My girls love stuff like that too!
We've been homeschooling for 5 years now and have 4 kids so we have a rainbow drawer system for each kid (minus the 4yo) where they use a drawer for each subject. We have tried some other systems but this works best for us!
That’s awesome! Glad you found a good system for your family! The cart works for my two, but I’d probably need more carts or a different system if I had more kids!
Thank you for doing this video! I have seen it used on other's channels, but only now being drawn to consider it- just need to know its practical capacity
I have been homeschooling since 2004 and just purchased a cart this year and love it.
It's been so great for us! Glad it works well for you as well!
I am loving your content! I've watched every video and love seeing your perspective.
Oh, I’m so glad!! Thank you!! ♥️
I have a cart like that for our art supplies. I bought an Iris Case Cart for curriculum. My 10 yr old has ADHD...too many things in one place is overwhelming for her. We've just gotten it but is working well for us so far. After last year, I knew organization was the key for this year!
Hope it continues to work well for y’all!
Welcome to the world of homeschooling!! We are in our 7th year. Its an amazing ride for sure. I love how, even though its new for you, how comfortable with homeschooling you seem. You talk like you have done it forever. Looks like you will do great. We use a cart as well, but for us, it mostly is used for storage now. We have gone from "school at home", to a more relaxed "classroom", to desks in our sunroom, to work at our dining room table to just schooling in our living room....🤣🤣 Ive found our cart just isnt needed much now. It holds some art supplies and notebooks but that is about it. Before long, we will prob be doing school on the living room floor and wont need any storage....lol
Haha, love it!! The versatility and adaptability of homeschooling is awesome!
We do something similar with each kid having 2 bins for their stuff in the school room and then I have a morning basket for all our group stuff. Buuuuttt, I’m on the lookout for a cart to keep in our dining room. I think it would help to have things handy where we do most of our school work! Yours looks well organized!
It’s been super helpful! I have morning basket supplies elsewhere, but it’s been great for everyday individual curriculum.
Organization is everything in homeschool! Love your manipulatives! 💛
Thank you! Yes, organization is SO important with homeschooling!
You have such amazing organization skills, everyone needs to see this.💫 Keep rising to be who you want to be! 💫 #keeprising #risingtobe #aswerise #riser
If you ever want to get rid of those word sliders, I will buy them from you!
The cart is great to store away items and keep off your main table. Having everything in one place saves time too.
A homeschool cart was #1 on of list of things to get and I didn't purchase it because I doubt it would fit our needs. We use clip boards each week and put away our curriculum books until I need it.
Sounds like you have a system that works well!
We have a cart as well! Top shelf is similar to yours with curriculum, middle shelf is manipulatives and writing tools, bottom shelf is art supplies because our kids love impromptu art time. Next year, we’re going to have one whole cart dedicated to art supplies and then another for daily schooling. Loving your channel!
Thank you! 🥰 I love the idea of an art cart!
I actually gave my teal cart to my MIL who is homeschooling her two youngest still. I think she loves it but for us I just couldn’t get into using it. I shifted it from a laundry cart to toddler/ art cart to breast pump cart and tried very briefly to use as a curriculum cart before giving away. I keep ours in a magazine file next to the dining table which makes for easy grab and go.
I’m glad you found something that works well for your family!
Thanks, glad it works great for you too. Love the name of your channel BTW. Even though my MIL is a homeschooler and my husband graduated high school homeschooling I still wasn’t convinced to homeschool until after covid lockdowns. Wrapping up our first year of kindergarten and looking forward to next year. Blessings to you and your family.
Thank you! Same to yours!
Love it! Yours looks familiar, mines in teal 😉
The cart is a fantastic upgrade from the overflowing bin sitting in my dining room 🤣 The top shelf holds her everyday curriculum, pencils jar, white board. Second is for the extra "classes"; currently our Oceans unit study, spelling journal, devotionals, poppers to keep her hands busy, play money, clock and math games. The 3rd is for fun craft supplies.
Loving your channel!
Thank you so much! 🥰 Sounds like a great cart setup!
I always think I'm not going to like her because she was ok with public school, but then I always really like her stuff 🤣 I have to remember not everyone had such a bad school experience. Love the content!
We have two carts, and I've recently realized how they don't really serve a purpose because they're not organized with the things that really should be portable and easy to bring to the table. I've already started on one, and hope to get the other one done soon. It looks like you've got yours under control :).
Good luck! I’m sure you’ll find a great system!
I definitely am interested in using one! I’ve got to get me one. I’m loving your content and I’m excited to see what all you will have next. I would love to see a day in the life style vlog!
I’m so glad! Thank you!! 🥰 I attempted filming a bit of a field trip DITL. Just need to look at my footage to see if it works. 😁
I have resisted the cart for 2 yrs but I’m not sure why? Haha... Maybe it would keep the clutter off the top of our school cabinet 🤷🏻♀️
Having everything so easily accessible and easy to put away has definitely helped prevent clutter in our school room!
Organization videos are my favorite. Thanks for sharing ❤️
Curious what was the room before it became a HS room?
Thanks for watching! 😁 It used to be a guest room/mini office. We moved that to a different bedroom that used to be used as a playroom and turned this room into the school room.
Oh nice! It’s such the perfect size space. ❤️
I know it’s a silly question, but where did you get your blouse? I’m loving that style.
Sorry, I took a hiatus from RUclips and am just seeing this! I purchase most of my clothes (including this blouse) secondhand, and I’m not sure where it’s originally from.
@@TheHomeschoolConvert oh thanks for responding anyways!
Just found your channel last night, we homeschooled our 7th grader last year. Previously he attended a Waldorf school and this year I will be adding in our 4 year old. I may try to get this cart but how does everyone know how and what level to teach? I would love to see how families plan for it
The great thing about homeschooling is you can adjust levels of things to best suit your children’s needs. Many curricula have placement tests you can take advantage of. I did not utilize these to their full extent when I was a brand new homeschooler preparing for last year, but they’ve definitely been helpful this year.
What are the books right behind you ? They keep catching my eye !
The pastel books? It’s a vintage “Through Golden Windows” set!
Yes ! Oh my goodness I love them !
what kind of math are you using next year?
Math Mammoth. 😁
@@TheHomeschoolConvert thank you
