Our {Home} Schoolroom

This is the full view of our classroom.  Our schoolroom doubles as a playroom so it holds all the girls toys, crafts, books, games, etc. We decided when we moved in and the girls were just babies that it made more sense to make our front room a playroom instead of a formal living room.  It's the first room you see when you walk in the front door, but we had no other space to hold the girls "stuff" so we felt it would be best for our family.  It's naturally progressed into the schoolroom so it's been perfect!

The majority of our classroom furniture is from IKEA.  LOVE!!!  We have a Billy Bookcase on each side of the window with ab Expedit Bookshelf on it's side under the window.  The girls and I all have the Vika Amon Table Top (mine is larger) and I have the Vika Alex Drawers on one side.  The shelf organizers are either from IKEA or Target's $1 Spot.

Now let's go on a tour of the room...

On the back wall I have my cute vintage alphabet cards.  I still can't part with the girls toddler table and chairs, becuase they still use it for messy crafts and it's so marked up I don't care about it getting ruined.  The left wall has my whiteboard, their toy bin, and our calendar area as well as my desk, printers, and craft/toy/dress-up cabinet.  The right wall has the girls desks, barbies, and doll house. 



The left shelf holds our school supplies, manipulatives, curriculum, workbooks, and some of my craft and sewing supplies.



The right shelf holds all our games, books, and toys on the bottom.



The Expedit hold all our craft supplies, puzzles, leap pens, library books, play-doh, and misc toys.  On top we have our roll of paper from IKEA which is great for the girls love of art and drawing.

My desk holds 3 IKEA magazine holders which house our completed worksheets and daily curriculum.  It also holds my lovely sewing machine, color printer, and my laptop which has my lesson plans.

Our teaching/calendar wall is still in the works.  So far I have our whiteboard, a pocket chart with our ASL alphabet, our day's of the week cards, our calendar, weather and virtue of the week cards.  I plan to add more to our calendar area, but wanted to at least have this for the start of school to get us started.




The girls do the majority of work at their desks, and then we do our reading time in the Family Room snuggled up on the sofa. It's the perfect setup for us and where we are at this point in our education!
