Our Homeschool Room 2012-2013

The Education Station

Call me nosey, but I love looking at other peoples school areas. Little ones, big ones, kitchens, basements, hallways, it doesn't matter to me I still like looking. 

I feel very lucky to have a dedicated school space, but I would carve out a spot just about anywhere if I had to. I have moved it around the house a few times, but I think I am set now. You never realize how much stuff you have until you move it 3 or 4 times. :) The couple that built our house put a room in the back for her beauty shop. {giggle} That sounds so funny, but that's what they called it then. It has a 1/2 bathroom and laundry hall separating it from the kitchen. It is the perfect spot for our school area. Come in and take a look around.

Lots of work gets done in here too!

I should add pictures of the entire house since we learn everywhere. They do their bookwork at their desks but we do other things everywhere, inside and out. Nothing better than practicing math facts in the swimming pool or sitting out front on the bench reading. Yes we have a designated space but we are not confined to this space. Adding and subtracting bowling pins in the familyroom or playroom of the basement is totally acceptable too. 

This is our little corner of nowhere. Literally :)  I just thought of something. Our chickens are getting ready to start laying eggs so I can add  the chicken coop to our list of education stations.
