Homeschool Must-Haves
Here’s my running list of the homeschool essentials, learning tools, and everyday supplies that have made our homeschool life so much smoother. From favorite books and hands-on activities to the little things that keep us organized, these are the homeschool must-haves I actually use and recommend to make teaching at home feel doable.
The best teacher appreciation gifts are heartfelt and practical, and generally fall into one of two categories: something that can be used in the classroom to enhance students’ experiences, or something that expresses gratitude for a job well done. And don’t underestimate the power of a note of thanks paired with cash in the form of a gift card. After all, teachers often spend their own money on supplies for their classrooms, and there’s a limit to the number of coffee mugs or candles one person can use. Our advice: Avoid items that a teacher may already own or things that are over-the-top expensive, which can fall into an against-school-policy gray area unless you pool resources from multiple parents or families.
