A Little Glimpse of Me

January 25, 2009

School Room 2009

Welcome to my schoolroom!

Photobucket

 The picture above shows what you will see as you enter the room. I have two tables, adjusted to two heights. One for my older daughters (ages 11 & 14) and the other for my younger daughters (ages 6 & 8).

This is my little boys preschool corner. Nothing fancy, just somewhere for him to put together puzzles, color and play with Lauri toys.

 

Photobucket

This is the book shelf that holds all our current library books. Yes I said library books. I usually have 200 books checked out at any given time.  I store my books in a different room in our basement until they are needed. 

Please also notice the brown table with the globe on it. I plan to use it for a nature table and/or our artist study table to display prints.

This is my chair. It is adjustable and on wheels so I can spin around to retrieve math materials or supplies from my white storage cupboard. I have our curriculum & current readers on the brown shelf. 

Photobucket

I wanted to keep the room as clutter free as possible so I designated one wall for most of our posters and charts. Also notice the relaxing pale blue color of the room.

This is our book nook and it is my favorite part of the room. I am planning on making leaf shape pillows out of green corduroy to put in there when I get in my next sewing mood. I also would like to make a banner to hang in the opening for fun. For now, these pillows will do. We have Family Bible Time & Storyhour snuggled up in here.

I wanted my room to have a theme, and since we are a Charlotte Mason homeschool, I chose "nature". I was given this tree several years ago and I thought it looked cute in the room. I have a bird poster next to the window as well. My plans are to make curtains and a themed bunting to put over the window.

Another view of our desks.

Here is our brown bookshelf. It was recently painted because I wanted a blue/brown color theme in the room. You'll notice I painted several pieces of furniture and added blue handles to most everything that needed them. I store our current library read-alouds / readers on the face front shelves (it is staged for the picture here) and our curriculum is stored in the crates below. One for my older daughters and one for my younger daughters.

And I love how you have kept it clutter free. I'm afraid I'm not too good at that!

Love all the separate stations - especially the book nook and preschool corner with the little shelf! I will have to figure a way to make a book nook in our space!

Wow, you are so very organized, I just LOVE the space you've created! I wish we had space in our home to have a seperate classroom. I especially like the book nook - what a great way to encourage reading :)

Oh, that is a lovely room. We have had rooms designated for school before, but as the girls have gotten older they just want to be in the dining room. Our little school room has turned into Breezy's art studio and home to our treadmill. I miss having posters and things about though. I think a bird poster in my dining room would just look great! Thanks for the idea.
Congratulations on being blogger of the week. I have enjoyed poking around your site. Have a blessed day!
