Our School Room - 2011/2012



Here is our room - In this section is where we meet as a family.  We update the calendar, do our pledges, bible study and My Father’s World family studies at this table.  This is also where I work one on one with each child.  I sit in front of the book shelf so my teacher manuals and other items that I need are located there.  All of the children’s reading books for the year are there too.
In the left corner is where I keep extra printer paper, expo markers, rulers, extra pens and pencils, etc.   It is also planning central for me!
another angle - the calendar has actually been updated now :)  We started back today!
the book shelf close up
beside the bookshelf - These are my grab and go bags for Classical Conversations Days.  

This is the kids section.  Each child has 2 shelves to hold their workbooks.  Above their shelves is our Classical Conversations memory work board that holds a week’s worth of information.  The desk is the computer area and where some independent work is done.

this is my all time favorite school supply product :)) - purchased on sale at Aldi for $9.99 several years ago!
This is what our table looked liked during the summer months of preparations :)

This is a fun jeopardy game I put together to help aid in our memory work using a pocket chart.  And there you have our school room!

  2. ok, let's see - there may be an easier way but here is how I did it. Warning it does take some time! One of the mama's from our community shared hers with me so I just copied her. :)

    1) made copies of the year at a glance by subject in the CC book
    2) cut out each subject week by week (yeah it takes a while!)
    3) glue each cutout to the back of the little cards (some I picked up from the dollar tree, some from the teacher store, and some were a gift)

    4) laminate and cut out each one.


    Rules
    Each child would pick a category and an amount - if they could answer the question themselves, they earned the whole amount of points but they could also ask a friend for 1/2 the points. For instance - history for 200 please (sometimes I made the questions for more points harder and sometimes I just stuck them in there anywhere)


    HTH - if you have any further questions, please let me know!
