If I'd only known...

I got the "schoolroom" unpacked this weekend. It isn't a schoolroom with bells and desks, not a place so much to do it as to store it all. We have two six foot tall bookcases holding most of our books (but could sure use three), a desk with two benches and two chairs that holds the kids' computer and a closet for hiding projects in the works. For my birthday I got a computer table for my computer and household records. But if I'd only known the kids would raid the school shelves like they have been, I would have unpacked them first! I've put a subject on each shelf and have two shelves dedicated to books they can read for school credit - mostly those they haven't read yet. Next I want to set up a file folder with paper in it where the kids can write down internet searches they'd like to do and another for library books to research or take out. The kids do not have unsupervised access to the internet, and I'd like to make the most of our time rather than spending 20 minutes trying to remember what they wanted to look up. And on library day, it's grab the folder and go. |
