As a farmer’s wife, this is the time of year I make my list of needs for our school, such as those bigger non book items. We have a steady income during the summer, so now is the time I get that list together. I have and am using the items in the following list. However, I figure you might want to add a few of them to your list as you get ready to take a summer break and gear up for next year. Maybe you can even find a couple of them at a garage sale?
Photoshop Elements~I use this for so many thing in our homeschool. From graphics for reports, to making custom notebooking pages.
WonderMaps~It is geography with a Photoshop twist. I LOVE this program.
Printer I use my printer every day. I suggest a printer that is economical both in ink and paper. It should be able to do two sided printing easily. I love our HP 8500
Globe though Wondermaps is wonderful, it is also nice to be able to see each geographical area on the globe.
Binder Cut down on the number of three ring binders you need. I bind nearly all of our notebooks, ebooks from currclick and so much more. I have even started binding our lapbooks instead of using file folders.
Tablet We have a Toshiba Thrive, and love it. I didn’t go with an Ipad due to the fact I have no other Mac or Apple products, and I wanted full size ports…USB, SD, HDMI…
Thirty One Bags Do like a little something pretty? Do like it to be practical? Do you like it to be durable? Then These bags are for you. I love to use these to keep our school supplies organized. Right now, the Large Utility Bag is full of next years curriculum. I use the Cindy bag for a laptop bag too.
Over the Door Shoe Holder~Love how this keeps our school supplies organized.
Digital Camera, we have three, one very worn out, one that is older and Philip’s that he got for Christmas. Honestly, love Philip’s. It is a Nikon L120.
What items do you use that are not your typical homeschool items?
mother, christian, wife, woman, child of God. It is about my life as a farmer’s wife, as a cook, a baker, a nurse, a teacher, a woodworker, a housekeeper, a farmer (yep, I drive tractors, pick up hay bales, and other farm duties), a gardener. So, what you read here, is me, as a transparent sometimes hot headed, passionate, and opinionated person.
Good choice with the toshiba tablet. I dont like apple ipad either

The pencil boxes hold crayons, ink pens, paint brushes, and extra pencils. I used to have boxes for each child, but it didn’t work well. In the post below, I have a little more explanation of the different things. https://peacecreekontheprairie.com/homeschool/homeschool-organization/homeschool-room-supply-organization
