What Do I Need? (continued)
After organizing and setting out the plans for our homeschooling year, I was able to move on to the FUN stuff: buying supplies! I'm pretty sure that a prerequisite for being a teacher is that you must have a ridiculous obsession with school supplies. I meet that prerequisite and then some! School supplies are some of my favorite things in the world.
So to get back on topic, now that I had my list of goals and my schedule put together, I was able to buy and organize the supplies needed to accomplish our daily work. I was very blessed with this aspect of my planning because I had many things that I accumulated through prior teaching, but there were some things that I still purchased that were more developmentally appropriate for my little man.
Here is a list of the supplies I made for the year:

I know this looks like a ton of stuff, and it can be overwhelming in the beginning, but you have to pace yourself. Remember you don't have to buy everything all at once. There are many people on craigslist who have supplies for great prices. You can also look at local garage sales for hidden finds.
I'm not very picky with what brand or type of supplies that I use, but there are some things that I feel are much better quality that are worth the difference in price. Overall, I try to be as budget wise as possible.
Take a look at some of our supplies! As I get everything organized and in picture-worthy order, I will post with pictures and details!
So let me know: What are your favorite supplies, and what do you absolutely need to get through your homeschooling day?
