Schoolroom Tour

We school in our dining room for all sit down work. We often read on the sofa or the bed, and do lots of projects off the floor.

Here is in pictures how I arrange and organize all our school stuff.



So, here we have our table, double-sided easel and different boards.



This bookshelf has on top our curriculum and boxes for our version of the workbox system (I pull them for them when we start school every morning).

The rest of the shelves have some of our school supplies and games.  



It all need restocking, I have not gone shopping for back-to school yet.



This bookshelf has more school supplies on the top shelf, under are other homeschool material that we do not use but might take out from time to time. At the bottom is their lego stuff and puzzles.


Here we have our computer and paper station (this is also where I work and blog). Under  the small table , in the basket, is my home binder and the TOG binder. On the table are our papers and some folders.


I also have 2 crates for our library books, one will be dedicated to TOG books and the other for the pleasure books.

That's about it for our schoolroom tour. Otherwise we've  got books all over the house and other boards around as well.

Update: This post is now linked up to the Home Grown Families Back-to-School check-up and the Not - Back -to - school Blog hop @ Heart of the Matter Online.

Reformation Day Giveaway

We are approaching October 31, which is an important date for all protestants. This date commemorates Martin Luther’s nailing of his ninety-five theses to a church door on October 31, 1517 in Wittenburg, Germany, which in turn provoked a debate that resulted in what we now call the Protestant Reformation. As the “Father of the Reformation”, Martin Luther is a vital figure in Church History. His sacrifice and willingness to wage battle against the spiritual, religious, and political powers of his medieval world allowed Christians throughout time to embrace the following truths: salvation by grace alone , through faith alone,  and in Christ alone, along with the supremacy of Scripture, referred to as  Scripture alone, and all of it for God's Glory Alone. These being commonly called the Five Solas of the Reformation.  Danika Cooley, author and creator of the Bible curriculum Bible Road Trip ,  has recently written a book for young people recounting Luther's sto...

Our Current Homeschool Routine - Virtual Homeschool Fair - Week 2

For week 2 of the Virtual Homeschool Fair, which is hosted by Homeschooling Hearts and Minds , we are talking method of homeschooling. When it comes to the how of homeschooling, and the method that we all follow, with the 20 plus blogger participating I can guarantee you, no method will be the same. Homeschooling is a lifestyle and a path unto a goal or toward a direction that each family sets for itself. For us, this encompasses academic rigor, as well as Christian values and depth of understanding of how to live in this world as Christians. To that end, earlier on we had settled on a classical education. 10 years into it, I cannot say we have been very good classical homeshooler. We did not follow the method and philosophy to a T but instead adapted it to our family's routine and rhythm. We became more relaxed classical homeschooler. I had good intentions with the Latin and Greek, but not enough discipline and it did not appeal to the boys; my oldest son did two years, the...

When Lightning Struck - A Book review

Are you studying the Reformation? Do you love Historical Fictions? Do you love reading about the heros of the faith? Then read on... As a homeschooler I always encourage my fellow homeschoolers to include Historical fictions in their study of History as it helps students really enter the time period that they are studying and get a better picture of how people lived and what they felt. I recently had the privilege of reading a historical fiction titled When Lightning Struck: The Story of Martin Luther . If you have never heard of Martin Luther or read anything about him, you are missing out and here is your chance to learn who he was and what he did in an enjoyable way. When Lightning Struck is written for Middle and High schooler, but I could not put it down. If you love reading you will devourer this book. It would also work really well as a read-aloud for upper-elementary kids. It contains 23 chapters of average length that will keep you wanting to know more. When Lightni...
