We normally start around the 3rd week in July and end in April. We take off a week and a half for Christmas. We also take off Halloween and New Years Day.
Since I have 3 kids to homeschool (6th, 5th, and 2nd), I have created binders to put all of the worksheets that I use in them, so that way I will have them for the next child when they need it. We recycle all of the papers that we use by shredding them and adding the shredded paper to our garden or our bean bag.
We got an old office from our local Goodwill for $30. It is made of wood and has drawers where we keep our supplies in.
Also 90% of the books that we use I get through Amazon because some of the survey companies that I am a member of, I cash out for Amazon dollars and buy books and supplies that we need.
Our homeschool area is setup in our dining room area, in the corner. I snapped some pics to show our work center.
