Our Homeschool Classroom

It's a work in progress....that is all. 


                                                   Desks
                                Bought 3 of these from Target and zip-corded them together. 

                                 
                                 Cubbies
     Bought six plastic cubicles from Target.  Each girl has two.  The bottom has their binders and teachers' manuals.  The top one has two plastic dividers that they came with.  I put their texts in the bottom "drawer", their notebooks in the middle drawer, and their folders in the top drawer.  I have them color coded by subject.  Each subject has a folder, notebook and binder.  I put their work in their folder at the beginning of the day; after they are done with it they turn it into my box.  When I'm done grading it, I put it back in their folder (on the left hand side), and they punch it and put it in their binder.  This is great for my 10 year old because she is now so organized and can review lessons to study for her tests.  We use their notebooks for various things such as writing spelling words, copywork, science definitions, etc.
 

                              
                              Art Center
   Here is our Art Center.  I bought paint and construction paper at discountschoolsupply.com.  Since we just moved, and I'm still unpacking, I can tell you that this isn't even half of our art supplies.  We have more wiggly eyes, pipe cleaners, cardstock, etc. to add to this.  Oy vey!
 

                                                   Bulletin Board Area
So here is part of our bulletin board area.  I have two dry erase boards.  One has our "Number of the Day" instructions (I'll post about that later), and the other is our work board.  We do A LOT of math work on the board.  We also have a calendar for my 4 yo.  I hang various things off of this on the hooks located on the bottom (right now it's the 10 Commandments).  I also have magnets on the dry erase board, so we hang things there too.  There's a weather wheel of course:)  Finally we are counting the days to see how many days we've been in school.  Each pocket is teaching re-grouping (ones, fives, & tens).  We also have a "number caterpillar" to keep track of the days.  It's along the bottom of the wall.  I'll post more about that when we have more numbers:)

We have a few of these hanging on the wall.  Clipboards covered in (you guessed it) duck tape.
