Honestly we have done school in many rooms of our home. We have tried it in the guest bedroom, the downstairs living room - both made really nice classrooms. We have finally however figured out for our family school just works better in the dining room. My husband gracsiously agreed to let me have a large 4ft X 8ft white board hung in the dining room and added a 4ft and a 6 ft bookshelf to the room to store our books. So if anyone comes to the house for a sit down dinner they will most likely guess we are homeschoolers (if they don't know already).
**Kids working hard at the dining room table**Being in the dining room is more convenient it is the central location in the home. Since my husband took part of 2 walls down to half walls in the kitchen I can easily look out and see what both of my kiddos are doing and answer questions they my have without yelling. It just works best for us as a family!
**Below my white board my husband put up for us - ignore the blue walls the paint turned out darker than I wanted so I stopped after the dining room**
Hope you enjoy:
**Our calendar**
**Our bookshelf with this years books only - we have 2 other this size with reading books on them but they are in our office downstairs so no photo cuz I was lazy and the kiddos seem too easily distracted today for me to head downstairs and have them keep working**Also please jump over to the 3rd Annual Not Back-to-school Blog Hop to see where others are learning!!!!
Blessings,
Lisa
