Feeling Happy
One thing that has helped us a great deal is buying those plastic shoe holders that have pockets and hang on doors. Some have hooks that hang over the doors, others can be hung up on hooks. I have also ordered a really nifty holder with lots of different sized pockets from Lillian Vernon. We keep art supplies in one---scissors, glue sticks, colored pencils---and they can be easily seen through the clear pockets. Another one holds flash cards, since we have so many different kinds with a teen, a grade schooler and a preschooler in the home. Another thing we do is keep a paper drawer on all floors of the home, and a jar full of pencils on all floors, so we don't have to go trooping all over the place to get paper and pencils. I am not sure where all the pencils disappear to. There must be a portable black hole in my house somewhere. We also keep markers, colored pencils, pastels, and crayons in old tackle boxes that can be carried easily from place to place. I buy erasers by the box and keep them in a jar. We have a filing cabinet. The most fun thing we do in my opinion is that each girl has a large leather suitcase that I bought at yard sales. They are vintage looking and don't look bad to be seen sitting out. I toss papers, brochures, extra pictures and any other portfolio sort of thing in there. Then the girls can use them for their portfolio, scrapbooks, altered books and notebooks. After so many years of homeschooling I learned my particular family does not like to have a school room, but likes to move around the house. So we have a computer/office room, a library, and a TV room--but most written school work takes place in the dining room. This probably reflects our unschooling/unit study style, as well. We also keep lots of books in the van, as well as blank books fro writing and art supplies. We use a portable DVD player to watch movies on in the van. love, Kas

Great suggestions for anyone really. It's interesting to hear you talk about homeschooling. So many things you dont think about or wonder how they work...
-
Sure, homeschooled teens get into good colleges all the time now. In fact, many Ivy League schools are going out of their way to recruit homeschoolers since they bring diversity to the campus---and most have had a wide range of experiences.

Do children who are homeschooled have a good chance of getting into a good college?
