So here are the pictures I promised of our home school room. It's pretty much set for the school year. Storage is hard to come by in these small Hawaii homes (though I will say ours is larger than most, we lucked out)...but our landlord had some spare cabinets and asked if we wanted them in this room. Heck yeah! So it serves as some food/pantry storage and some homeschooling. It's perfect!! I have some maps to laminate and hang from the door frame which will close of the space, but will be easily removable when not in use. I got the idea from a blog some time ago and I can't remember which one.
This last picture is of the chore chart I mentioned and linked a few posts ago. It's really working out well for us so far. I need to make a few more cards to add to it...pick up room and practice karate!
I almost forgot our reference library shelf that is part of our bookshelf wall in the Living Room. Quince said I had to much time on my hands. But I got the idea from a homeschooling blog (again forgot which one...possibly Confessions of a Home school Mom). The top shelf is curriculum that we are not currently using, as well as Home school Reference books for me, the next shelf is Reading books (easy readers and read aloud), the next is divided into Math, social studies and history, with a container for activity type books, and the magazines of Appleseed and big backyard. The next shelf is science. On the shelf to the left are Gospel books, and the bottom two shelves on two more bookcases, and the bottom of one other are all kids books...I'm a book aholic and unfortunately homeschooling gives me an excuse to feed my habit!
(don't mind the mess on the shelves, we are still getting settled in from our move).
Great use of space. Have a wonderful year.
