Today, I’m going to give you a peek into my homeschool closet. Or rather a list of what I keep in our homeschool closet.
Because we homeschool in a child-led manner, it is pretty much necessary that I be prepared for just about anything. One thing I try to do to make sure Ben has what he needs for whatever impassions him on any given day is to keep a well-stocked homeschool closet.
Here is a sampling of what you’ll find when peeking into our homeschool closet.
Science
microscope with interesting pre-made slides
telescope
Nature bag (insect collection tools, butterfly net, Discovery Scope, point and shoot camera, nature journal/colored pencils, ziploc baggies, nature guide)
History/Geography
Math

Art
