[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our schools have sent out schedules (sample schedules, not the specific classes my kids will be in). That was really helpful to visualize the day and think through what would be needed.

I considered turning various spaces into school space, but realized I needed to be able to be present and so decided against rooms I can't easily be in all day long. I also decided to keep my 6th and 4th grader together.

We have an open kitchen/eating area and I'm going to put an extra table in a nook there and use the kitchen table for two desk areas. I'm buying them each one of these: https://www.containerstore.com/s/teal-3-tier-rolling-cart/d?productId=11012628&q=storage%20cart plus accessories to serve as their school supply hubs so they aren't all over the place, including in my own work space (I work). I am also buying two white board organizers that have a weekly calendar and to do list to help us all be on the same page. I found those at Etsy.

That's it for now. Our school supplies laptops for the kids. And I am considering buying a bigger monitor or maybe one for each  of them....thought I'd see how the first week was going and then decide. Oh, and probably a wireless printer as well, because we have one that is wired but it's in the home office where DH works and it's not compatible with the kids' school issued laptops.[/quote]

Cute carts! I'm in the market for a whiteboard calendar system. If you end up liking yours, can you share the seller?[/quote]

This was the one that I bought -- I felt like the weekly view would be the best for my family and I can personalize the bottom part to say things like "homework" or "chores".
