Work, Organized

Aside from homeschooling, I work at night as a tutor. 

I am blessed to be able to do what I love.

I use a lot of games, manipulatives and

home-made file folder creations with my kids.

I find that it makes it less like a lesson

and more like fun, and they are more likely

to stay focused on the skill at hand.

I've gotten rather lax about my materials

and decided it would be a good project

to tidy this area up so that I can find

just what I need to get my lessons done.

Simply adding a container to house the workbooks

and labeling each item gives the eye somewhere to focus.

I can see what I have at a glance

and it makes visual sense.

It pays to keep things organized. 

It helps me find exactly what I need

so that I can have time for other things

(like more time outside in the garden).
