Welcome to Our 2014 School Room

We have a room in our house that has been a dining room, a bedroom for each of the children; and now, it's our learning room.  The children generally work at the kitchen table or couch. I do not expect that they will use this room specifically for school work. However, having our supplies and materials in a location that is easy to access is super convenient. We had a beautiful room in the basement, but it was ignored and most of our materials were out of sight. The children would go down there and play, and it became a big mess. I think this little room is going to work well for us. Welcome to our 2014 resosource room.

We have books scattered throughout the house and in every bedroom. You can not have too many good quality books.  I gathered some and organized them on shelves. Here we have art, nature, and science books as well as a nature table on top.

The children have a desk and computer for researching and computer work. The kids love maps, so I make sure they are available and at reach for the younger ones.  

History and research books are organized for easy access.

Our fiction bookshelf is filled with chapter and picture books. Pencils, pens, markers, and crayons are also stored here.

Our paper organizer keeps drawing and writing paper in order and easy to find.

My area has teaching resources, poetry books, and homeschool and household binders.

This is work in progress. We still have art work and pictures to hang on the walls, and chairs and a table to bring in. I wanted to hurry and share it while it was clean and orderly. I think the children will enjoy having a quiet place to sit and draw, read, or study.

Does anyone else go on an early spring cleaning frenzy the day after Christmas?
