Homeschool Room Tour

B and M's side of the room

M's desk area. Her verse cards which doubles as the alphabet, are posted across the front area of her desk along with some other charts and games from the curriculum that we use. There are also some of her art projects posted with sticky tack to make them easy to change out as she makes more.

M at her desk. This old chalk board, that was found in a friend's old storage building, is to the right of the window on the back wall of the room.

The good work board is to the left of the window. It was great that they are the exact same size so it keeps everything visually balanced (which is just how I like things).

S's work area. They each have a small bulletin board in front of them to post whatever they need or want. I have also used sticky tack to hang any teaching visuals that are needed from various subjects.

The door to our supply closet doubles as a game visual for M. The bulletin board in the corner has a dry erase  schedule hung on it. Each Monday, I write who has what test/quiz beside the day that it is scheduled for. IThis has been a life saver to have this info at a quick glance!

These were some free prints that I found online. I blogged about it here.

I love adding scripture reminders to this space seeing as we spend a lot of our time in here! Hope you like the tour, now what do you think?

Framed Prints

I loved this free print from Jenny at  Family Bees . I knew it would be perfect in the homeschool room. So colorful and such a powerful reminder to see everyday! I love adding Scripture to our home!

Scripture Art

When I saw this print over at The Logan Family blog, I knew it would be perfect for B's room. I added it to one of the frames on his gallery wall. I almost have all the frames filled and I can't wait until I do, so I can share it with you!

Jen does an amazing job making these scripture art prints and she allows you to download them  for FREE! Thank you Jen for sharing your amazing talent and blessing us with fun ways to add scripture to our homes!

Homeschool Room - Rugs

We needed something to protect the floor where the chairs would be scooted in and out on a daily basis. I found these cute rugs at Lowe's for $13 each.

The colors perfectly tie in all the colors we have used already in the room.

Good Work Board

I love having this big bulletin board in the homeschool room. The kids are so proud to be able to put their papers on the board.

I have been trying to keep them rotated every few days to really showcase all their good work, which in turn motivates them towards more good work.

It has also given me the chance to use some of my old teaching visuals from college :)

Homeschool Room Paint Color

I have had several people ask what the paint color is for the Homeschool Room. It is called Spring Garden Walk #7768 by Olympic.

It was a hard color to pick out because I wanted it to look pretty and also not be overstimulating for school...does that make sense? I wanted the kids to be a part of the decision since they too will be spending a lot of time in there.

We wanted bright and cheerful. I think we achieved both without being too in your face. I think having a lot of natural light in there helps too! If we didn't, I think it would appear much brighter!

The Completed Desks

I am so proud of my sweet husband! He has done an amazing job on the desks for the school room! They are now painted and have the 3rd coat of poly on them. I can't wait for them to be completely dry so we can start setting things up for school to start next week!
