I’m a homeschool mom of 5 and these are things that are non-negotiable for us!
A good computer is my #1 recommendation. It makes everything easier.
MacBooks
One of the eco tank printers. I've had the same one for over a year and still have ink left! I print all the time! It lasts FOREVER
Epson Printers
There are so many great options, but we love to use these for my kids that get a little squirmy! When they can see they only have a few minutes left, it helps them stay focused!

IYKYK. These are the GOAT of pencils.

Everyone has their own water bottle. If not we spend a lot of time “needing a drink” instead of doing school
Owala products at Target
A good pair of headphones for each child. The cheap ones just break constantly and don’t block out the noise. We do some online lessons and live in a small space, so this truly is essential for us.

Our favorite school snack. The brownie flavor is my kids favorite but I love the oatmeal cookie one!

We use the iPad for on-the-go schooling. It’s a good option for busy days! Some of our schooling have apps but I also use it to show videos at the table if we have one as part of a lesson
