My New Homeschool Room!!!
I am SOOOO excited about my new homeschool room! In the past, we have homeschooled at the kitchen table, in the office, in the den, in my bedroom, in the music room, in the laundry room, in the basement, in the car, at the park... and I intend to still have a mobile classroom! But I really wanted a dedicated space, so I could keep our curricula all together, and hang our maps, timeline, books of the Bible, cursive chart, etc. on the wall where I won't need to move it!
I am SO happy to say, that I took this past weekend to rearrange our playroom to accomodate both a play place, and a school room! And the best part???? I did it all for $260!!!
I went to Wal-Mart (I'm a Target girl, so that was hard on me!), and found two student computer desks (Alex and Courtney can use these to work on their laptops, or just to do their book work... and Alex is even planning to use his for some model plane building, which is a great hobby of his!), a book shelf, two rolling office chairs, and a colorful rug! Then, I went to Target, and found two floor chairs for $19 each! I had to move ALL the kids toys out of the schoolroom (previously known as the playroom!), then build all the office furniture (... which is why I got it for such a GREAT deal! There is definitely an advantage to buying it pre-assembled!!), then arrange the room! Problem is, even after all this was done, I had the entire contents of the old playroom in the basement hallway! I spent Saturday and some of Sunday (yeah, I know I shouldn't have worked...) moving toys to different locations around the house! Many of them went back into the schoolroom (the less distracting ones!), and some went into the kids' rooms. Even more went to Goodwill!!!
This is how the whole thing turned out...
