Our 2011 Homeschool Space

Happy Monday to you all....the children and I have Vacation Bible School all week..I am teaching, they are all attending...so we are busy busy busy...also trying to wrap my head around our Florida trip at the end of the week and we are hosting a Backyard Campout on Friday evening...so blogging will be quick this week....side note: so bummed my Nikon camera broke and was sent back....the digital just isn't the same 8(  

In keeping up with the "Not" Back to School Spirit...I am joining others at the Not Back to School Blog Hop over at Heart of the Matter....here is what I have done so far with our school room...




hubby made me this LONG shelf last year...LOVE IT



Our new morning board....calendar, weather and days in school...laminated it so we 
can use our white board markers...

Jolanthe over at Homeschool Creations has awesome Bulletin board ideas...I borrowed some...


My 'desk" rolling cart...tucks in the corner when we are not in school..



Organization is the key in our school...



Our dining table doubles as our school table.


Playroom/imagination area



Kids have easy access to lapbooks, flashcards and more..



Our Art gallery wall. I have removed a few frames to make room for new 
works of art!

Melissa, your home is for your children, and I just love that about this post! You have so many wonderful resources for your kids that aren't compartmentalized into just a "school" space. Learning occurs everywhere. One day, I am coming to NY and going to your school (and that's a PROMISE - when I visit my sis in Rochester I'm coming over!)
Beautiful homeschool spaces Melissa! You look like you have as much books and resources as I do! I love the organization and bright rooms! Have a great year and a fun week!

WOW! We don't have an actual school room but yours is really neat! Blessings from the hop!
Your home is so wonderfully kid friendly! My Little britches would ADORE coming over to visit in that playroom! I'm jealous of all your laminating! I need to get me a good laminator...did you take the larger things somewhere to get them done?

I have a bag like your school bag...but as of now don't need to use it for school stuff...

Visiting and following...thanks for visiting me!

What a cheerful, fun place to learn! I like your morning board. We're going to do something similar this year, using our pocket chart.

I like your blue walls!

Have a great year of homeschooling!

National Chocolate Chip Day

May 15, 2012 is National Chocolate Chip Day Today is National Chocolate Chip Day! Chocolate chips are an essential ingredient in dozens of delicious baked goods—chocolate chip cookies, chocolate chip pancakes, chocolate chip muffins, chocolate chip brownies, chocolate chip bagels, and many more. You can even find chili recipes that call for these sweet morsels! In the 1930s, Ruth Graves Wakefield created the original chocolate chip cookie at her Toll House Inn in Whitman, Massachusetts. Ruth intended to bake chocolate cookies for her guests, but she ran out of baker’s chocolate. She substituted with chopped up semi-sweet chocolate morsels and discovered that the pieces did not melt into the dough as she expected. Her cookies were an instant hit. Today, 25% of all the cookies baked in the United States are chocolate chip! To celebrate National Chocolate Chip Day, pick up a bag of chocolate chips at the supermarket and bake something yummy to share with friends and cowor
