The mini-office concept was started in public school by a teacher that was having trouble with kids focusing.
So she took some legal size file folders and created a small cubicle for each student. But that didn’t solve the problem at all. The true problem was that instead of not focusing-they were asking each other questions. So now they were asking HER the questions. And as desperation is truly the mother of invention–the Mini-office was born. What she did was create small notes to help the students remember the subject matter.

Mini-Office - A Tool For Any Homeschool - Christian Homeschooling Resources. One of the most creative resources for homeschooling, besides making lapbooks, is the mini-office.
It becomes a mini reference center or tool containing information for students on any topic they are learning: math, writing, grammar, science, phonics ... anything. When mom/teacher is busy, the child has another source to go to for reference and information, to answer questions. Even when mom is available, our students need to learn how to look things up and not always ask us for answers. So, mini-offices help with that. Basically, a mini-office is one or more file folders with information sheets glued on, centering around one topic, then laminated or covered with contact paper to help it last longer. Another reason I like these is that they show the students how to organize information and how to break large topics (i.e., writing) into smaller bites (how to write a topic sentence, how to write a paragraph, punctuation). Once the folders are attached, then the fun begins!
