Education is an Atmosphere

This school year Ryan started Kindergarten. Big boy school! Big boy school meant big boy homework. lol! I wanted a place where he and Kathleen (cause she really, really has a thirst to learn just like big brother) could sit and really enjoy studying. Soooo out went our kitchen table. We eat either at the breakfast bar or dining room so this was the perfect spot for our "school room". We went out to the country antiquing and had the kids find and pick out their perfect desks. Then it all just started to came together. We still have more things to do to it, but nothing a few more trips to the country antique stores can't fix. :)

Our school room is the busiest room in our house. The children love it. It is their sanctuary...it's their space. It is equipped with everything my reader and my beginner reader needs. We have manipulatives, letter/word tiles, flash cards, guided readers, early readers, pattern blocks and so much more. All organized to where the kids can get them out and know where they go back :) Their desks are very important to them. They are very protective of their desks and what goes in them. It's their private space.

I am happy. I love that they love to learn. ♥ ♥ ♥
