How We Homeschool in a Small Space. Full Tour.

[@gmcgregor83]

This is a fantastic video. I’ve been homeschooling for nine years and I’m in a bit of a slump. My focus has been on my eldest sons (17 and 14) and I’ve lost inspiration for schooling my younger students (12, 9, 6, 4 and 2.) This video has given me so many great ideas (and reminded me of a lot of things I did when we first started out that I’d forgotten about) and I feel inspired to revamp our space and get some great activities happening for my younger students. Thank you!

[@Toyed1987]

As I watch I can't help but think like they not ready for us homeschool moms we ready! We got it all! Playdough scissors, papers space I mean we got it! 😆

[@jenrigg4486]

This is so encouraging, thank you! 2nd year homeschooling and I finally invested in a corner cabinet with all our homeschool items. I feel way more organized now!

[@TreehouseSchoolhouse]

Yay! That’s great!

[@breezybre2670]

I could cry. I love all of this. What i don't love is that my son's adhd is SO severe that he opens, dumps , and breaks everything. He just turned 5.

[@TreehouseSchoolhouse]

The high shelves and storage really help!

[@ellenscofield5632]

Put him in sports and get him a mini trampoline. My daughter has a lot of energy and I use the mini trampoline for her to jump on instead of my living room furniture and she does dance & soccer. I also keep all of her favorite toys in the highest shelf possible. She only gets them after she does her homework and only gets one at a time.

What does your kids diet look like

[@helenetindon7639]

Same. Exact same.

[@samanthagaul7042]

We have a playroom with a lot of extra room, so we store everything for school there, and then we do bookwork, etc. in the back dining room. It's not super convenient to go back and forth for supplies but it works for now!

[@parrafamily6663]

Thank you for making this video and sharing how you maximize your space. It's the first time I find a space that resembles so much to ours! Our dinning room is also our kitchen table and our school table 🤪so thanks for giving me ideas on how to use the space in our Laundry room and our walls!! I love how you've created a warm, artistic and inviting space for everyone, guests included.

[@TreehouseSchoolhouse]

You're welcome!

[@kristinmariejesch5759]

I also felt like we were official homeschoolers when we added a globe! Ha! My biggest challenges has been keeping things out of my toddler’s reach. Things get scattered in random places because she crawls up on the table and tries to chew on the glue stick or play with the scissors… etc. I have also struggled with wanting our eating area to not look like a school area, but we do school there (and have been for several years) so it’s getting harder. Your space is so inspiring! Thanks for sharing the details!

[@TreehouseSchoolhouse]

You are so welcome!

[@kaylab9210]

We live in an old 1970’s single wide trailer during this season of life, and finding space for a learning area was a challenge. The floor plan is odd and we couldn’t figure out where to do our learning. So thankful I found your blog and after I saw your family learning at the kitchen table we also are adapting to this style & moved our table into our living room. We ultimately decided during this time in our lives functional spaces are more important than than traditional spaces. Thank you for all you do!!!

[@ChildrenOfArabia]

I'm sure the kids will remember it fondly (this season of life). Do you have an instagram? Love following people living in small spaces ;)

[@RootedHomeLife]

The way you display and store is very similar to how I do! Beautiful functional space!

[@TreehouseSchoolhouse]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@tabethahall9082]

In your laundry room you could hang a curtain with just 3-4 ft drapes

[@Carazona]

This was so helpful! We have a small house too and do everything at our dining room table also but it works!

[@TreehouseSchoolhouse]

So glad it was helpful!

[@angelinacarraway3576]

for the math bloc organizer, art supplies, n etc what i use is a utensil organizer i prefer the bamboo ones from amazon bc u can adjust the sections to fit what u need i also use the plastic ones from walmart!!!

[@thatgirlintheglasses4780]

I absolutely am so Blessed to have found your channel. Thank you for taking the time. I have ALOT of videos to watch 😅 . I just started a homeschool daycare situation and am in the beginning stages of grabbing supplies. I am blessed to have the space for a play area, but I do find we are almost ALWAYS drawn back to the dining room table as well! It's a cozy magnet isn't it?

[@MindfullyLiv]

I love the look into small space homeschooling. We also homeschool at our dining table, and it's not my favorite. But it serves us right now and maybe one day we can have our own homeschool room! I appreciate the "real life" look so much 💛

[@KeneanGranger]

I do not comment on KZbin videos! I just have to let you know you are very helpful. I really like your video!!! It is inspiring and clear to understand and also I must say very realistic and simple! Thank you!❤

[@loveyousodearly]

We're working on our homeschool space right now! The timing was perfect for this.

[@twiggy4ya]

i love the "these are the days" sign!

[@CarolynnMarkey]

we have no homeschool room....thanks for the tips!

[@TreehouseSchoolhouse]

You are so welcome!

[@hellotherehomestead]

Thank for all these lovely ideas! I want to refresh our homeschool space.

[@stephaniesierra4900]

Thank u for this video! It’s really amazing 🥹❤️🙏

[@ticiagorney8708]

I'm in the thick or organizing our space, so this was inspirational. We are blessed to have a room, but we do a lot at our table!

[@laurenrobertson8829]

Eek! So excited for your YT channel! Sitting down with my iced pumpkin spice latte (so ready for fall!) to watch this before I finish our pizzas for dinner.

[@TreehouseSchoolhouse]

That sounds like an amazing night!

[@TheHomeschoolNook]

Oh I love the library book set up!

[@aimtok]

Didn’t realize you had a KZbin channel. This was great! I love seeing how different homeschoolers organize their homeschool space. Love the ideas to keep the small hands busy so they can be involved too! Love your style and colors.

[@TreehouseSchoolhouse]

Thank you! I’m excited to get videos out more regularly

[@RootedHomeLife]

We school at our dining table too!

[@haleybruckler9655]

So happy to see more of you on this platform! Treehouse SchoolHouse definitely swayed me in a major way to begin homeschooling, so thank you so much !! I would love to see what the older kids school binders entail

[@TreehouseSchoolhouse]

I’ve overcome clutter by reducing the materials we use. ❤️

[@LashusJourney]

Thanks for sharing, it’s my first year doing homeschooling.

[@TreehouseSchoolhouse]

You're welcome!

[@Thegritmom]

Thank you for sharing, you have a lovely space

[@TreehouseSchoolhouse]

You are so welcome!

[@JentheBeliever]

Absolutely love it! Love the shelves and the string with clips, that is something i can implement immediately as our dining room has a fireplace (never used) and mantle - aka my built in upper shelf

[@julianorris6992]

outside and my dining table is where we homeschool even when we have had dedicated spaces for homeschool.

[@KYLIN123]

A very beautiful space you have. I love it! The shelves just make it. Thanks for sharing!

[@TreehouseSchoolhouse]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@lauraaustin1586]

I loved seeing your space up close! Thank you for sharing. Our dining room is where we do school as well.

[@MsAbsurdmonkey]

Your space is beautiful!

[@TreehouseSchoolhouse]

Thank you!

[@rhandzumabunda1344]

You are brilliant !

[@kyliejones9047]

We are starting our home schooling journey this fall. I have a fifth grader and an eighth grader. They both are not looking forward to the experience. But I think it’s the whole covid, school from home they don’t want. Everyone was crying by 9am! It was terrible.

[@TreehouseSchoolhouse]

I hope you all are having a better start to your homeschooling journey. Wondering if you've read this blog treehouseschoolhouse.com/blogs/blog/deschooling-what-why-and-how?_pos=1&_sid=cc5df29f7&_ss=r

[@HomeschoolHistoryShow]

Awesome video. We have a similar setup and this is new for us this year, so we're still figuring it out.

[@Jusyasm]

I'm getting so many ideas and inspiration from you, thank you!!!

[@TreehouseSchoolhouse]

You are so welcome!

[@amandasmith9034]

I am SO excited for more KZbin content from you! I Loved the tips, my favorite was the gardening supply holder for all of the drawing/ pencils! I currently have a couple of utensil holders from target for mine!

[@carmenkloppers6334]

Absolutely love your space!

[@TreehouseSchoolhouse]

Thank you!

[@breezybre2670]

I adore the menus.

[@thewhisperingglen]

You all did such a great job! Love it!

[@sarahcinderellabeth]

Thank you for making this video! This is very helpful. ❤️

[@randommim3929]

I really loved it, great ideas!

[@TreehouseSchoolhouse]

Thank you! 😊

[@freshleap]

I love your space

[@_learningwithlove_]

Such a beautiful space! 💛

[@kellyschlect9847]

Love this inspiration! I definitely need it going into the fall here😂 thanks for taking the time to show us!

[@TreehouseSchoolhouse]

I’m so glad it was helpful!

[@mondriaan83]

So helpful thank you!

[@eprohoda]

guy~really beautful video- 😍

[@karynnekrasowski3525]

I know it's been a year, but just so you know, every single amazon link or target link I clicked on was a broken link. Love these ideas though! Losing out homeschool room so need to get creative.

[@amensandapp]

How cute you are!!!!!

[@katherinereynolds3659]

Wow. Goals! Starting this year with kindergarten. I have less space than you but I imagine I’ll need less.

[@jessiewells257]

Great tips thankyou

[@Breanna18.3]

Wow, thank you so much for this video! I am now a new subscriber. I am STRUGGLING with organization with my small space which is smaller then yours 😵‍💫 I have wayyyy more then I need at the moment but I also don’t have to step out for supplies often lol 😅anyhow thank you again!

[@TreehouseSchoolhouse]

You are so welcome!

[@ChildrenOfArabia]

Very nice video! well explained and useful advice. If you allow me, though. You may consider putting the Rhythm cards to child eyes level, especially for those younger ones. I have the same kind of display and I made sure my children could actually see the cards. Everything else, I agree and love ! Wonderful job

[@TreehouseSchoolhouse]

Great suggestion!

[@nancysfo5]

can I see a sketch of your future homeschool room and the way it will have easy access to all those other rooms? is that weird to ask? I have always wondered how I would lay out a house if I could have it built

[@KristyKapp]

I know this is an older video & my comment has little to do with the topic but I've looked through most of the other comments & could not find anyone else asking my question. I would really love to know where you got your headband. I wear them quite frequently & have to admit that it was probably the main reason I clicked on this video. LOL I will say, your homeschool area is beautiful. We are starting a very light version of preschool this year with our 3.5 yo but mainly to just get me in the habit of doing something with him & structure our day a little more. :)

[@TreehouseSchoolhouse]

I usually thrift them!

[@seasidehomestead4064]

100% homeschooling room is for stuff!!! We school all over the house even though we have a homeschool room.

[@alelimoreno6465]

Wow!u gave me good ideas thanks ! 🥰

[@jhullender3046]

This was helpful! Excited for more videos from you? Where do you keep random paper clutter/bills/mail/random important papers? I don't know why but it always seems to find its way to the kitchen table no matter what I try! 😂

[@TreehouseSchoolhouse]

We have a hanging storage thing in the laundry room!

[@nicolaherring5219]

Love this. Thanks for sharing! Such great ideas here that Im thinking about incorporating into our space. How deep is your top shelf?

[@TreehouseSchoolhouse]

Just over 11 inches

[@likethecolorgreen]

I know a benefit to having a home school room is you can use it to stay organized and help with concentration? I know home school mom jady a said moving her children to a desk instead of the dining room table helped them concentrate. Another mom gave a tip that if you do the dining room table make sure the children uses the same spot at the table everyday to help with concentration. Not sure if the other mom was also jady a lol. I sure wish I could have a homeschool room. Right now I use my children’s bed room as a home school room because or living room is super small and our home is super small. So small we can’t put a dining room table, nor a couch nor a queen size bed in it. Wooo hooo let’s go California! My husband and I roll out Matt’s every night in the living room and our daughter sleeps in the bed room on her toddler mattress. I praise God we have that room to dedicate to her and or soon to be born son ( due October). He’s going to sleep in a bassinet and then move to a toddler mattress. This is way better then living in a room for rent which we use to live in so no way I’m ungrateful for what little we have. Praise the most high. Home schooling can be done. working from home or being a stay at home mom in my case helps so so much. In a home like this less is more and always buy under $100 so you don’t cry when something needs to be tossed out. And don’t fear tossing stuff out.

[@TreehouseSchoolhouse]

You have such a great outlook on your small space! Yes, it can be done!

[@TheBJeffries]

I struggle with cleaning up the table when we are done!!

[@TreehouseSchoolhouse]

Yes, it definitely has to be a team effort in helping pick up!

[@jilianprewett6100]

I cannot get my just-turned 5 year old and 1.4 year old to help clean up sufficiently... so I guess maybe that means I just need to take it easy... the house is an absolute mess but I see glimmers when they want to help and do a little. It's just not consistent at all....

[@shannonryan2447]

This was such a delight! Thank you for sharing your inspiring space. Will the hard copy of the 4 season nature study be coming back to the shop? I am really excited to use it in our homeschool preschool this year!

[@TreehouseSchoolhouse]

Thank you! You can pre-order the 4 season bundle now!

[@EnglishwithGabby]

This is so awesome, thank you! Are you still selling the morning time bundle and rhythm cards? I don't see them in your shop.

[@TreehouseSchoolhouse]

Yes they’re both there!

[@EnglishwithGabby]

@@TreehouseSchoolhouse thank you, I just checked again and found them!

[@DMforschool]

Happy New Year! Is anyone else having issues with the product links on Amazon, or is it just me?

[@elsa4559]

Where did you purchase your dining room table?

[@katiedevalal7862]

Where can I learn more about mail Monday? Thanks!

[@jilianprewett6100]

Thank you so much for sharing this, especially your cabinet! What water color paper do you use? I want to encourage my toddlers to paint more but avoid it since the type I have is pricy

[@TreehouseSchoolhouse]

I have some listed here that we use! www.amazon.com/shop/treehouse_schoolhouse/list/KF4UW2DG0CVO?ref_=aip_sf_list_spv_ons_mixed_d

[@jamaicaigot9335]

loved this video! are you on audea? most of my audio is consumed there and would appreciate the audio version of your content on that platform

[@TreehouseSchoolhouse]

We aren’t. But maybe in the future!

[@inthelight7771]

What do you do with the art they already did? How to you store it???

[@TreehouseSchoolhouse]

We now have 3 ring binders for each child with sheet protector and store the art that way.

[@blessedandbusymama54]

Hi! What model sharpener do you have? I've been reading reviews and they are so mixed on what actually works well!

[@TreehouseSchoolhouse]

I have it linked here. www.amazon.com/shop/treehouse_schoolhouse/list/4VPYHRTBRN0F?ref_=aip_sf_list_spv_ons_mixed_d

[@meganwright2738]

Have you always homeschooled or did you make a change? I just discovered your Instagram and KZbin. My kids are in public school but I am praying about making a change to homeschool. I see you mentioned the early years in some of your materials, do you follow Charlotte Mason practices?

[@TreehouseSchoolhouse]

We have homeschooled our children from the beginning. I do tend to lean the most towards the CM approach to our schooling. I pray you get your answer as you seek what is best for your children’s education!

[@mattruben8886]

I need your headband tutorial... totally unrelated.

[@nicoletaincze7614]

Oh, wow….. I am doing homeschooling, but I think I am doing all wrong…😳

[@TreehouseSchoolhouse]

Everyone's homeschool will look different!

[@jjgems5909]

There’s no right or wrong way to make your homeschool room. Make it work for you and your family and space.
