Aug. 9, 2009 - School Room Week - Not Back-to-School Blog Hop
Our school room has changed some from last year. James made us a new table and computer desk! The girls and I are very excited about this table.
It's a marker board table. We all four have our own spot at the table with two shelves to store our books. The girls have their pencil box, abacus, ruler, etc. on the top shelf. The bottom shelf houses their basket that holds their workbooks, notebooks, and binder. And we get to write on it :)
I have not had a chance to redo our bulletin board for this year. That is on my list, my very long list. The white cabinet houses all our art supplies.
The brown bookshelves, which bugs both James and I now that everything else is white, house all our curriculum, resource books, storybooks, and manipulatives. The white shelves house my office supplies and help support the new computer area. Della, our cat, is a regular at the school table.
This is such a space saver. I am so thankful that my husband is talented in building. He blesses us with so many wonderful things.
Looks like you're all set for the year even though you may have much to do yet. I love that marker table your husband made! What a great idea! My children somehow think writing on the white board is so much less tiresome than writing on paper. I don't get it, but whatever makes them do school work happily I'm all for it.
Whoa, cool table!! :) What a neat idea! Your school mascot is cute too. One of the cats I had when growing up always used to lay on my books when I was doing homework.
I have that post done about what I'm putting in my 9 & 7 year olds workboxes. I'd love to hear any other ideas you may have, they're much harder to fill than my 4 year olds boxes!
My husband and I have thought about building a similar table with cubbies for storage as the legs. The white board top is a stroke of genius! Thanks for the inspiration and for sharing on the Blog Hop.
Welcome to our blog! I hope you enjoy your visit. We are a homeschooling family of 5. Our approach is eclectic, but leaning more and more towards Charlotte Mason. Our girls are 9, 7, and 4. Never a dull moment as we desire to teach our girls in the ways of the Lord.
