A List of School Supplies You Might Want

school supplies | HomeschoolingTorahEvery August, the big discount stores have lists of school supplies at the front of the store. Teachers from local public schools submit what they would like students in their classrooms to have.

Well, if I were teaching HomeschoolingTorah in my home, these are things I’d like to have handy for my “students.” 🙂

Don’t worry if you don’t have money to buy all these things! Just be creative and remember that a few centuries ago, children learned just fine with just a Bible and a way to write things down, even if it was just a piece of slate and chalk. Your kids don’t need much in order to be well educated.

  • A Bible for each person
  • A 3-ring binder for each student.
  • A 3-ring binder to store notebooking pages for Bible, History, and Science
    • What is notebooking?
  • A 3-hole punch
  • Plastic sheet protectors for charts and notebooking
  • Printer paper
  • Crayons
  • Colored Pencils
  • Markers

Also consider your printer and ink. This is an important part of a HomeschoolingTorah membership, so you may want to read a full discussion about printers and ink here.

Don’t forget that you can save ink by using a device, such as a tablet, smart phone, or Kindle. You can learn how to download curriculum files to your device here.
