Our Current Kitchen... er... Classroom

Sadly, we do not have a dedicated school room. Like so many other homeschoolers, we homeschool at the table. Our particular table happens to reside in our eat-in kitchen.

I've been doing a bit of reorganizing over the past few days. It seemed like the best time to take a few photos. (Please don't hold the wallpaper against me... we're renters. I had no choice in the matter.)

This first one is of our main school shelves. The left side holds Robbie's subject boxes, bins of readers (including one for my great-nephew, whom I tutor), supply caddies, memory work box, All About Spelling cards and drawing materials. The right side is filled with math games and manipulatives. 

We have a small shelf for current readers and read-alouds.

This is our main school wall. I'm sure its appearance will change throughout the school year.

I picked up this "Star Student" chair cover in our local Target's dollar spot. It's impossible to see, but Robbie filled out his own name card. (Apparently, he's now known as "Legendary Trigger Happy"). Oh, and Minerva just had to make sure she was featured in at least ONE of these photos.

  2. Our classroom is also my craft room, and it used to be the guest bedroom, before I did some rearranging in our house. I love how well organized it is!

  3. That's a really good use of those magazine holders--I've often wanted to create some out of boxes.

  5. We rented for many years, I totally understand not having a choice in wall paper or paint! I really like how you used magazine files for different subjects. I think that will be a good next step when Bebop outgrows his trays and tubs.
