School Room Tour
I spent the weekend thoroughly cleaning and reorganizing the school room. I thought that while it was clean, I should take some updated pictures. 
The view when you enter the room, standing in the doorway.
Standing by the window, facing back towards the door.
Again, standing at the window with a view to the right side of the room.
CLOSE UP PICTURES
When you enter the door, looking to your left is the piano and Savvy’s shelves with *quiet* toddler toys.
Continuing around- then Nathan’s fire station and our large Year Calendar that I made. The “theme” of our circle time this year is learning the seasons, months, days of the week, weather. Every day they put a sticker on the calendar to mark the day.
On the far left is the corner of our timeline- somehow that didn’t make it in the picture. The big year calendar is immediately to it’s left. Next up is the “seasons” calendar on top and the weather chart below it. Our “fireplace” and my chair. The basket of books on the left is our current read alouds for the week and the one on the right is the extra read alouds. The large basket under the weather chart is full of blocks.
To the right of the window is the shelf that holds most of our school stuff and the tv/vcr for watching our Math-U-See videos.
The top shelf is divided by subjects. Second shelf is Language Arts, flashcards, manipulatives and extra art supplies. Third shelf is all math- counting blocks, pattern blocks, logic games and math puzzles. Bottom two shelves are puzzles.
Our BIG table- 8 feet long x 4 feet wide! The map on the left is our pin map- we put up any postcards we get from my Dad’s travels and have marked the birth place of various friends & family who are from other countries.
Mary’s art caddy on the left. Other than the globe, the rest of the stuff is my teacher stuff. Supplies that I need handy and the stack on the right is their daily work.
To the right of the table- our USA pin map where we’ve marked our home and where various family members live. Extra desk. Underneath desk is the bin for our listening station- it contains books on tape, headphones, books to go with the tapes, etc. Basket is Savvy’s board books and then leaning against the wall is a stack of Nathan’s current favorite books. He loves to curl up on the bean bag chairs in the hidey hole and pore over these books.
To the right of the bean bags/hidey hole- Mary and Nathan’s shelves (mostly). Math balance and tape recorder for listening to books on tape. Lots of books. Magneatos, Indian playset, farm animals and farm.
