You asked for it-an updated classroom post with recent changes after our massive room redo last month. Honestly, only a few things have changed.
We are trying a bigger table using a folding table borrowed from the church. We definitely need a table this size in there. I wonder if the church will forget we have it??
I removed my teacher desk and put it in the girl’s new room. I also moved the “tiny table” into the space the desk had been in. It has been a great place for the younger ones to learn.
My new way to organize curriculum,
with these magazine files.
Can’t forget my Better Binders, nothing new, I just love them.
Our workboxes. {Tiny table used to live there.}
Curriculum and toy storage. {No change.}
Not-so-current curriculum and supplies. {No change.}
Want to buy any of these?
Here’s a change. This used to be a hole for toys, which are now in the playroom. This is now our reading nook.
Our classroom is a living thing, I am always changing little things to better suit us in the moment. What do you love about your classroom? Leave me a link, I’d love to see it!

Hey, Sam! I’m interested in The Reading Lesson and the MCP B & C workbooks, could you let me know what you want for them? Thanks! :)
Vicki Arnold latest thoughts..Random Notes From the Trenches
Sure, The Reading Lesson is brand-new and MCP are new, missing a couple of pages I tore out in the beginning. Level C starts with page 5, and B has 3-6 gone. If you would like them all-it would be $30.00 and $6.00 for shipping. I have PP, or you can send a check.

Very nice! I am curious about those binders…. Ok, here is our classroom: http://inchristalonemom.com/2012/01/07/welcome-to-our-school-room/
Better binders from Staples. Not cheap, but worth it!
Sam Kelley latest thoughts..The Personal Planner
I will definitely have to check those binders out! My husband designed that table on paper and then my mom and step-dad built it, I love it.
You will love them, maybe not as much as your table, but they are fabulous binders! I’ll never buy another kind!

Love your space! Especially the large table, ours has gotten to small for my growing children. I need to do something about it soon. Right now some work at the table and some work on the floor or we move down to the kitchen. As you said it’s always constantly changing.

I love your room as well! I pinned it, and have some ideas to look into. Thanks!

Looks great!

I love your space! We are currently “doing school” in my office {Jenny sits on the floor with a “lap desk” because her own desk is BURIED under all her craft projects, books, and other odds and ends}… eventually I’d like to move some things around to create a “homier” feel to the office {i.e. adding a couch and kid-friendly computer area}, but this works for us for now.
As long as it works for you, it works. Perhaps you can uncover you daughter’s desk while on break this summer. :)

Beautiful place to “train up a child” or in your case six of them.

Thank you, Renee!

While I’m not always appreciative in the moment, it is one of the things that I cherish about you – you’re always thinking, moving, changing, improving. I like that :O)

Well, I like you! :D

I agree with you, a larger table is better. It will permit the learner to move about especially in certain activities.

Thanks, Duncan. We’re enjoying it!

I know we’re NOT supposed to covet, but… This room is a homeschooler’s dream! I would love to have a space completely devoted to all things homeschool! We have played “musical rooms” and have finally ended up in the first space we started, our dining room. It is small, but we need the large table especially now that I’m doing Paths of Exploration with all my boys. I am always trying to reconfigure things to make things more efficient.
Sarah Jordan latest thoughts..Our Seder
We moved twice, and also used the living room before we decided to take over the playroom. Then we had too many toys and no space to play, so we made a little playroom when we switched the girls into one of the big bedrooms.
Don’t you love POE? :)
Sam Kelley latest thoughts..Classroom Update
I love the little reading nook you have created. My favorite thing about our classroom now is the big window that lets the sun shine in!
That is one thing we don’t have. I would love one of those too!
Sam Kelley latest thoughts..Classroom Update
It looks great! Simple and organized!

our “class room” or future class room will be in the basement, the basement. The basement is still being worked on. :) I hope to have pictures for you soon. Right now we are using the kitchen table for school. I can’t wait for the school place to be finished so I can organize all of the school things.
I can’t wait to see pictures when it is done!

Looks great!

I actually don’t have a classroom right now and it’s working for us! I NEVER would have thought that! We start out at the dining room table together, we use the couch (hey, mama’s in her 3rd trimester!), and my older daughter does some in her room. It’s working. But I do love a good classroom. The saving grace is we have a “library” where all our book and curriculum are stored. Everything in ONE place. Ahh…..
Hey, do what works for YOU! That is all that matters!
