Curriculum Baskets

A child should have their own basket to house the current curriculum being used.

You can include each subject’s books in a larger basket so your child will know exactly where they are each day.

Having their own basket will give the books their own “home”. That way they are not strewn all over the house and hard to locate.

Your children will know to put them back where they belong and you won’t have time wasted each day looking for the math book that’s been misplaced.

You can also include your checklist printed from The Homeschool Tracker system to keep track of your homeschool schedule.

This way your child has it right on top of his books and can get to work first thing in the morning and know exactly what to do for each subject.
