Our classroom...aka Living Room

I decided to take photos of our classroom just because I was bored. But then I went and labeled them too! I should really be doing something else... lol

So, let's see... the first photo is of our encyclopedia bookshelf. I have labeled just about everything! Silly, I know, but it was also an experiment, I suppose, to see if I could label my photos like I have seen some done. I was thinking I needed a nifty program to do it but no, just use Paint!

The next photo is also in the 'classroom' but is of the bookshelf on the other side of the room. This one is mostly for books that will be used (I hope) during the schooling years. I have accumulated a few *ahem* books from my schooling that were just such good books I didn't want to give them up!

I have them sorted by subject, generally. The magazines on the second shelf are actually a mixture of gardening, National Geographic, Family Fun, National Geographic Kids, History Channel, and Real Simple. They are sorted as well...with mine near the bottom since the kids look at theirs more than I do. :) That bottom shelf is really for whatever won't fit anywhere else.

Next we have the place where the kids keep their school books and such. I was going to say "where they do schoolwork," but that's not exactly true. We do school pretty much wherever we feel comfortable. Lee usually sits at her desk and that is why she has a chair. Fox sits on the floor or the couch usually and his chair is at the kitchen table right now.

And for the last photo of our classroom, aka Living Room, we have the 'teacher's' chair. This is where I sit. It's not terribly comfortable but it is easy to move and the chair has no where else really to go! This chair was my m-i-l's when she was younger (she sat in this chair with all of her kids- there's still little teeth marks on it!) and she gave it to me when I had my first one :) Lots of memories in this chair. Putting the chair here also prevents much use of the horrid entertainment center. The bookshelf behind my chair has lots more books :) This one is primarily filled with books that are for 'free reading' or additional reading. Books such as Little Women, Red Badge of Courage, Chronicles of Narnia, Alice in Wonderland, etc. Near the bottom are some reference books for me pretty much and I have my binders for school, as well as our Latin books, sitting on the floor in front of it. They just won't fit anywhere else!

Oh! And I must not forget Kawaii...sleeping on the couch :) We love our kitty :)

I hope you have enjoyed the tour of our classroom, aka Living Room. :)
