Janell Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 I have finally finished(well almost finished) my son's Kindergarten school room. this room in the basement used to be my sewing room/scrapbooking room, but homeschooling has become more important I even made my daughter(age 2.5) a little fort under one of the tables so she could have a fun place to play while we do school. So far it has worked out great. I have a big wall that I need to make into some kind of bulletin board(open to suggestions!!) I just don't know what to do yet. I"m interested in seeing what others have done with their Spaces or Rooms if you don't mind sharing some pictures. I am always looking for a bit of inspiration!! As you can see the two year old has been enjoying her "fort" and left all her toys out. and just for fun... Please share your homeschool Rooms/Spaces as well!!!

Mystie Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 We just do school all over and have no particular school space. We have 2 tables, a bar at the kitchen, and a desk as options for places to work, and then reading happens in the living room on the couch. Bookshelves are also all over the house, because a room without books is a room without a soul. :) But I love your fort for the 2yo! Mine would totally get a kick out of that, and I have been having a difficult time occupying him while working with the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

genny Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 We school all over the house ... we tried doing a room several times but I just can't seem to school in one spot for some weird reason:confused::lol: I just wanted to post to say I love the hammock idea!

genny Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 What did you hook the hammock up to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janell Posted September 18, 2012 Author Share Posted September 18, 2012 What did you hook the hammock up to? This room is in our basement so you can't see it from the pictures, but the ceiling has wooden beams and it is hung from there. it holds up to 300 lbs so it's pretty secure.

~Anna~ Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Here's ours. It's a bedroom that used to be my DD's playroom. It is small, but it's just the 2 of us. Yesterday the light was broken, and we had to do school in the basement and we didn't like it. It is good for us to have a dedicated space.

2girls4us Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Here is ours. This is our first year homeschooling so I feel like our room looks rather sparse. This pic was taken the night before our first day, so it does look a bit more lively now that we have some art projects and such hung up.

janetwhitson Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Our homeschool room is in our garage. It is our first year homeschooling so it is fairly basic for now. I'm hoping to add things as time and money allows :) The unfinished walls are perfect for tacking things into. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris in VA Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Here's an old post from my old blog that shows our old schoolroom...:D It was for dd in first grade and for ds in 10th grade. There was a big pool table in the middle--my basement is shaped like an upside down L. Dd's area was across the bottom of the L, ds' was at end of the long part, and the pool table was in the middle of the long part. If that makes any sense at all. Click on the pics and they enlarge.

MeaganS Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 We're doing preschool, and we don't have a dedicated room. I do have things on the walls, but I deliberately did it so that you can't see them from the living room, which is right next door and open into the dining room. Here's ours.

Cassy Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 We don't have a 'schoolroom', but most rooms in the house seem to have been taken over by school. We do most of our reading, read alouds and history in the sitting room, where we also have the main PC: [ATTACH]10343[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]10345[/ATTACH] We also have a lot of our history and science books in the dining room, as well as the piano, the printer, and a dining table more or less filled with books and/or work: [ATTACH]10344[/ATTACH] Math and any written work tends to be done round the kitchen table. We have plastic draw units here full of current work, books and art supplies. [ATTACH]10346[/ATTACH] ETA: Sorry, don't know why they didn't come out as photos this time.

creekmom Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 I love that thing holding your books! Where did you find that? That was a lucky find at Goodwill ($5)!! :D I don't know if you have a Habitat ReStore where you are, but stores/offices etc. donate items all the time to Habitat ReStore. I saw a turning book holder there the other day. Might be worth checking out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ooo, love the bookshelves! We school in our kitchen, at the table. I don't have much of anything on the walls b/c I don't have an open wall. We have a small wooden desk squeezed in a living room corner where I set up my laptop for computer work. And we read on the couch. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ondreeuh Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 The pics were taken on my iPad, so they are not super clear. I took these pics just before we started school last month. It's pretty much stayed the same. In the closet are the science kits, art supplies, and file boxes of curricula that is not in use right now.
