# Homeschool Supply List Generator

Build a homeschool supply list covering notebooks, subject-specific materials, and approach-specific items, split into what to buy before day one and what restocks mid-year.

Category: Homeschool

## Prompt template

```
Curriculum is the biggest line item, but the pencils, page protectors, and half-used bottle of glue that vanished last spring are the purchases that actually derail a Tuesday morning. This tool builds the materials list underneath the curriculum, the stuff a subject needs to actually run.

List your subjects and grade levels in [SUBJECTS] and [CHILD_GRADES]. If your homeschool follows a specific approach that needs particular materials, name it in [TEACHING_PHILOSOPHY?]. Montessori's material sets and Charlotte Mason's nature journals need different supplies than a boxed curriculum does. If there's a specific unit or project coming up with its own material needs, a volcano model, a sewing unit, list it in [UPCOMING_UNITS?].

1. Build a supply list organized by subject, covering the basics every subject needs, notebooks, pencils, folders, and the subject-specific items, graph paper for math, a dedicated art journal, a nature journal, lab safety goggles.

2. If [TEACHING_PHILOSOPHY?] is filled in, add the materials that approach specifically calls for, Montessori practical-life materials, Charlotte Mason's picture study prints, a classical memory-work binder, and note which of those are one-time purchases versus items that get replaced yearly.

3. If [UPCOMING_UNITS?] is filled in, add a separate list for that unit's specific materials, sorted by whether they're household items you likely already have versus items that need to be purchased or gathered ahead of time.

4. Flag which items on the full list are consumable and need restocking mid-year, glue sticks, printer paper, lined paper, versus items that are one-time purchases for the year, so a mid-year restock doesn't catch you by surprise in November.

Close with a short "buy before day one" list, the handful of items the first week of school actually can't run without, pulled out from the longer full-year list so the first shopping trip has a clear priority order.
