bnbacademy Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 I have searched the web with little success... I am trying to make a 6th grade mini-office which, hopefully, would include: math formulas, order of operations, books of the Bible, Periodic Table of Elements, writing helps, etc. Has anyone done this? If so, would you kindly supply links to posters or printouts please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TechWife Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 This sounds interesting. Would you describe a mini-office in more detail? How are you arranging the information? I am picturing a notebook w/dividers for subjects - like an encyclopedia, maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am picturing a notebook w/dividers for subjects - like an encyclopedia, maybe? A mini-office, at least the ones I've seen, are file folders stuck together, so that a child can set them up in front of their workspace and not see other, perhaps distracting, children. :) They're also handy to keep reference info, like bnbacademy is looking for, in front of the eyes of the student so they don't have to ask all the time. I should really do this for my kids again. I had them when they were in 1st grade, and it was great. There are some things specifically for my older girl that would really help us, I think. Here is a link where you can see some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrissySC Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 I found this link while starting my mini office too. http://www.uwstout.edu/soe/profdev/inspirationprojects.cfm Note: We had used a notebook for these things. I decided to go with something more stable than file folders and taller. :D We are using the project display boards (trifold) from the office supply store. http://www.staples.com/Staples-White-Corrugated-Display-Board/product_302919 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bnbacademy Posted March 18, 2011 Author Share Posted March 18, 2011 Thank you, I did a half-size folder mini-office... It's not tall enough. Need I say more? I like the posterboard idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkateLeft Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 I don't know if these would be helpful, but I made mini-offices for my kids about 6 years ago, and posted pics of the 5th grade one on my (defunct) blog here: http://www.shadow-earth.com/?p=16. (That 5th grader is now in 10th grade... crazy!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrissySC Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 You need to post pictures when you are done! I will too. LOL I think I had more fun than dd did. She only now realizes that she will not be able to see the television! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle My Bell Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 This would be a nice alternative for the office. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bnbacademy Posted July 20, 2011 Author Share Posted July 20, 2011 Is there a link to a "how-to" webpage for the above pic? I looked briefly at the website, but didn't find it. It has such a nice "finished" look about it, and looks like the info can be changed since it is a cork board. TIA, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
