While some kids may need to move to other areas at times, having a designated area to work on can help keep everyone on track. It can be the kitchen table, small desks for each kid, or even just a large, sturdy folding table. If you're teaching several kids at once, you may want to use a board they can all see. You can get standalone whiteboards to set at one end of your classroom. You can also fold these whiteboards and put them away when you don't need them. Alternatively, you can mount one on the wall to save space and use it as a projector screen as well.  A computer with a large screen or TV screen hooked up to it will also work for displaying images and slideshows. You can even just paint one wall with white paint, and project images and slideshows onto the wall using a computer and projector. Nothing is quite as nice as curling up in a comfy corner with a book. You could throw a large beanbag or floor pillow in a corner with a lamp or set up a comfy loveseat with a lamp. That way, when your kids need to spend some time reading, they have a designated place to go. You don't have to include this space in your homeschooling area, as you likely have other spaces in your house. However, it can make it more fun to have a dedicated area for it. For younger kids, you'll need crayons, pencils, chalk, and art supplies. For older kids, you'll need pens, pencils, whiteout, and maybe cheap tablets to work on. You may also need some subject-specific supplies, such as a calculator for math, lab supplies for science, and highlighters for English and social studies. For both ages, you'll also need things like staples and a stapler, a 3-ring hole punch, paper clips, a printer, and highlighters. Kids need help staying on track, so having the classroom rules up on the wall in a pretty font can help. You may also want to have a schedule on the wall if you plan out your day with specific time frames.  Try a chart for each kid, letting them know what they need to complete each day. You can have them fill in sections with stickers as they get done. You could also dedicate a whiteboard to daily tasks. That is, you can have a section on the whiteboard for what each kid needs to accomplish that day. If your child does well, you may want to stick it up on the wall. A cork board is an easy way to do this, as you can just use pushpins to pin up their work. Alternatively, set up a board that will hold magnets. For instance, some whiteboards are metal underneath.
