Mine isn't pin worthy either, but it works for us! Both of my kids have desks, but their learning happens everywhere. Like yours, ours is mostly a home base so frequently used items are easily accessible, and less frequently used ones don't disappear into the recesses of shelves and closets! And i was so excited as I looked around yours to see how many of the same items we have in ours! We have the pink balance disc instead of your yellow one, my eight year old loves our geopuzzles, and many other similar tools. That made me very happy! if these have helped you succeed over the last 17 homeschool years, I feel reassured we are on the right track! Can't wait to read more of your blog!

I went to a dollar store and got inexpensive posters and the alphabet. Bought a globe and gave my kids their own desks and own computer. I had loads of books and an extra large bin shelf of school supplies that could be accessed at a glance. It also was a dedicated space and I loved it! Every year In early August, I would spend the day organizing it, steam cleaning the floors and rearranging the classroom so it was different each year. I always felt a little change was necessary each year so my kids didn't get bored with the same space year after year. Each year, they loved the " new" layout. Now with them being older, their bedrooms serve as class space and I long for the classroom back but time marches on, so enjoy these times as they go so fast! :-(Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626820356307919755.post-78554302150748814502014-08-16T13:05:51.992-07:002014-08-16T13:05:51.992-07:00It's certainly a huge variety!

And if I was silly enough to answer, he'd ask "How long?" as if the answer to both those questions wasn't PRINTED ON THE PACKAGE, lol. I think kids asking the time is similar.
