Eeeeeks! I've been excited to get our schoolroom together since the day we decided to homeschool. I love school supplies. I love teacher supplies. And better yet, I love stores that sell both. It's heaven to me. An endless array of learning posters, art supplies, pencils, construction paper, things to organize them in, bulletin boards--you get the idea. I couldn't have made our schoolroom so cozy and practical without those that have already paved the way in homeschool room decor and posted them on Pinterest. Thank you fellow homeschool moms for such cute and creative ideas--you are appreciated :)
Here are a few pictures of our schoolroom:
The Reading Tree is one of my favorite things in the room. For every book the boys read they write their name and the name of the book on a leaf and stick it on the tree. By the end of the year we'll have a wall full of beautiful, green leaves--isn't that exciting???
We decided to teach the boys using the Charlotte Mason method. Best decision we've made since deciding to homeschool. I had looked into several methods/curriculum and without question this is the best fit for our boys and family. Charlotte Mason was an educator in the 1800's and a profoundly Chrisitian woman. She had the children memorize the following: "I Am. I Can. I Ought. I Will." So naturally, I had to have it up in the schoolroom. I'll be talking a lot about Charlotte Mason in future posts!
This is the boys' desk. Fully equipped with alphabet chart, parts of speech, United States Presidents, cool desk lamp, maps and other fun things for the day like a box of tissues. We'll probably never really use the tissues, but what's a schoolroom without a box of tissues???

I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth.
