Homeschooling • Middle School + Pre-K
- separated desks : we tried sharing space, it was too much for both, we tried the kitchen counter, too distracting, we tried the dinning table, they messed it up, so I got them their own little desk.
- crafting, both of my kids love arts.
- books, all of my kids love books, so there are never enough books in our home.
- their own graphics, because they are in different levels, and my preschooler doesn’t know how to read yet, so we combine his with images.
We also have wooden toys, numbers, abc’s, cards, and more, and I have a closet full of supplies upstairs.

Creating a successful homeschooling experience for both middle school and preschool children can be challenging yet rewarding. One essential strategy is to establish dedicated spaces for each student, as distractions can hinder learning progress. For instance, separated desks often help students focus better but can be complemented by a shared crafting area to engage creativity. Involving children in hands-on activities promotes their interest in subjects. Another vital element is ensuring access to plenty of books tailored to their individual reading levels. For preschoolers who may not read yet, using graphics and images alongside the text can enhance understanding while keeping them engaged. Additionally, incorporating wooden toys and educational cards into playtime can reinforce learning in a fun and interactive way. Organizing your supplies efficiently in a closet or art studio can also streamline daily activities and prevent chaos. Homeschooling can be a unique journey based on each child’s needs, and connecting with other homeschooling families through forums and groups can provide support and new ideas. Ensure to review various homeschooling resources available online to expand your teaching methods and ideas. The key to successful homeschooling lies in adaptability, creativity, and a focus on making learning enjoyable for your children.
Love this idea! Thanks for sharing. I really like how narrow those desks are. We don’t have a lot of space and basically use a corner of our living room. And inspo is so hard to find
