Our Family Room

I like this zone too. It is our family room but over the last 2 yrs it has morphed into our school room. This space is mostly about function. There is a school corner (which is rapidly spreading;) with displays of Maya's work and things we reference daily like letter combinations, letters in general, a number chart for her math program...
We keep many of our reference books here too. I aquired these awesome book cases back when Vayda was a baby. Now they hold science books, how tos, history, series of novels etc. We of course have a large world map. Maya has labled it with N,S,E, & W as well as the equator and various countries flags....
We used to have a large craft table in here but that moved to Maya's room and now we have a great little metal topped table for school work. It was broken in pieces at a yard sale when I got it. Got a stool there too. That still needs to be dolled up. I hung another metal table top on the wall for a magnet board. This is where Maya's written work and everyones cards and art work hangs for a mo till I hoe it all out. I found the little school desk on the side of the road in front of another home schooling familie's house. These days Maya's skooter lives here too.
This is where we hang out, some times eat, some times watch movies, have kid parties and make a mess! :)
