Our School room

Its been forever since I have posted anything! Our summer has been so busy and full of fun! Now that our summer time is coming to an end, very soon, I plan to use these last few weeks to enjoy every last bit of it!

I have kept myself busy with planning and prepping for the up coming school year, and I am excited to get started! I did not want to take away from the boys the fun of "school shopping." So, I let them get some new art supplies, and be there with me as a part of getting the last min stuff we would need for the year. I even let them both pick out a special lunch box that they can take on our, hopefully many, trips to the park, zoo, museums, etc. Of course they are superhero ones and the boys are VERY excited to use them :-)

This weekend I finished getting everything in place and putting the final touches on our school room. I am happy with how it turned out and excited to start using it. I changed quite a few things around from last year to better suite our needs this year. Here is a little sneak peek into our new space!

Morning board area.

Our Art Wall (I plan to fill the frames with our projects)

The Reading Corner. We plan to use the orange bag as our "book basket" this makes it easy to tote to and from the library and keeps our themed books for the week all together.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Boys Desk area and Caleb's work boxes. I plan to use the red desk if I need to separate the boys for any reason. If Gabriel is doing and activity that would distract Caleb from his work I can move him over there. We also have a magnetic board (oil drip pan) with different things the boys can play with on there.

Above the boys desk area. I keep some games hung on the peg board to pull down easily for Gabriel to occupy him while I work with Caleb. There are also some more puzzles, games, play dough, etc that I keep up out of reach to pull down for "special times". Trying to keep it so that I have new things to offer and mix things up along the way. I also use the shelves for all our craft supplies, sensory bin fillers, and some books that go along with our curriculum.

This area has puzzles, games, building sets, etc down and easily accessible for them both.

This is my shelf area where I keep all the activities, work books, student sheets etc that we use with our curriculum. I also have some games pulled to the side that are to be used with the curriculum and other teachers aide items. In the white magazine holders I have some of their magazines and work books stored here.

The green bin is where I keep everything organized by units for My Fathers World. I also have a small file box on the side with print outs for Gabriel to go along with the letter we are learning that week. This way he has activities to work on during the week like his brother. Gabriel is very excited to "do" school with us this year! :-)

And lastly my desk area. Nothing fancy but serves its purpose well! :-) 

  
And that completes our little school room tour :-) If you can not tell I LOVE to organize and prep areas. But now I am excited to start using the area soon!
