I am joining in with the showcase of learning rooms as shown here!

I don't know about you, but I LOVE seeing where others school.  We have never been lucky enough to have a room strictly for schooling (Can you imagine!!) but we are lucky enough to have a dining room that we can use, and we can eat lunch in the breakfast nook (so we don't have to move books and papers when the learning gets messy!)

These photos are skewed and they are driving me carazy!!  Anyway, here's E. sitting at the dining table.  (You might be able to see the clear vinyl cloth over it to save it from the markers and glues)  Behind him is the entry to the hall and to the living room.  You can see our makeshift timeline at the top of this photo.

G standing by the inner wall.  To the left is the entry to the kitchen (which you do not see).  Directly behind him is a daily schedule (which we follow very loosely) and a poster on Courage that M. won at VBS this year.  To the right is a china hutch that we inherited from Mike's grandfather.  The bins hold a lot of printables from a teacher friend of mine as well as a phonics program (that we don't use).  The cabinets are full of art supplies.

This is the wall where most everything is kept (Although the top of our linen closet is full of extras!).  The rolling bin on the left is full of pens/pencils/markers, paper, manipulatives, etc.  The bookbag on top is full of library books.  The bookshelves are chock full of books and textbooks, all the way to the right is a rolling bin full of stamping supplies that I am thinking about selling and topped with playdoh and tempura paint, and the abacus.

To be a true homeschool there has to be a jar of pondscum, which there is! See the glass jar with the red lid? Yep...pond scum.  Lovely, eh?!

The final wall in the dining room.  Beyond those windows lies the front porch and the outdoors, where we tend to spend most of our time.

Be sure to check out our other lovely bloggers rooms!!  But you really should head to Christy's and tell her you are playing too!
