Back to School for the Homeschool Mama's

items I've been homeschooling my boys since Kindergarten. We absolutely LOVE it! Here are some items I've gotten or will be getting soon for the back to school season. We actually do school year round, but I love to stock up when the stores are filled with...
Washable markers are a must. I usually get multiple packs of these (and as of this post, they are on sale for $0.50!!).
10ct Washable Markers Fine Tip Classic Colors - Mondo Llama™
My kids love using personal dry erase boards as their scratch paper for math so these fine tip dry erase markers work great for that!
Expo 21pk Dry Erase Markers Fine Tip Multicolored
There's something about writing with a pen that makes it more fun for kiddos. These erasable pens are awesome!
8ct FriXion Clicker Erasable Gel Pens Fine Point 0.7mm Assorted Inks
Another staple for the homeschool room. Also another steal (as of this post this pack is only $0.50!!).
12ct Colored Pencils - Mondo Llama™
Of course crayons. I get bins for all of our writing tools to keep them organized. I have one for pencils, pens, colored pencils, crayons, and markers. I get multiple of each type so we rarely run out.
Crayola 64ct Classic Crayons with Sharpener
If you have any Sonic fans like I do, these are great. I like having headphones incase the kids are all doing any kind of work on ipads or laptops at the same time.
Sonic the Hedgehog Molded Headphones for kids
Headphones are great to keep around for homeschool when everyone is doing something on electronics at the same time.
eKids Black Wired Headphones for Kids, Over Ear Headphones for School, Home, or Travel - Black (EK-140K.3XV7)
Pencils are another thing I like to get multiple packs of so that we don't run out. I also buy eraser toppers because my kids break the little pink erasers off quick haha.
Ticonderoga 12ct Pencil Yellow
I keep tons of these.
Cap Erasers 25ct - up & up™
These are a fun eraser option!
24ct Food Eraser - Spritz™
An electric pencil sharpener is a must have. Makes it so quick and easy.
X-ACTO Powerhouse Electric Pencil Sharpener with SafeStart Motor
I like to keep binders around for certain things like journals, keeping science or history projects in order, etc.
1" 275 Sheet Ring Binder Aqua - Yoobi™
I have had trouble finding a science curriculum we've loved. We're giving this one a shot to see how we like it. My oldest son has recently started falling in love with animals so we're starting with Zoology.
The Sassafras Science Adventures Series
This is SUCH a great and FREE resource for anyone who homeschools. My oldest has done the 5th grade level math and is now into the 6th grade math course. He loves it.
