Our Learning Space

We are blessed to have two living areas and a separate dinning room in our house.  One living area we use for watching TV and working on the computer.  The other is the homeschool area and the kid's play area.

The bottom shelf holds textbooks, workbooks and this weeks reading for both children.  The next two shelves hold the children's folders, flash cards and craft materials that won't fit in the drawers.  On top are pencils, textas, scissors and glue.







The craft drawers.  Mini Glad Bags hold a label with the week the supplies will be needed.  The drawers contain any craft supplies needed for the week that are small enough to fit.









The other craft supplies are in the "homeschooling cupboard" in the living room and the rest of the books are on a homeschooling shelf in the living room.

Why Blog?

It seems rather strange to me for a person who can't keep a journal for more than a couple of weeks to start a blog.  But here I am.  I have decided you can't be a 'proper' home educator without sharing your children's creations with the world.  So this is it.  A blog mainly about our experiences with Tapestry of Grace or TOG.  Partially for family members who are far away.  Partially for my own records.  And partially because everybody else is doing it.  :)
