Transforming a bedroom into a SCHOOLROOM

We wanted to make a school room this year. Last year we did not use one and I thought it might work better if we had a place to belong. It also helped us to have a place for all our school stuff. "A place for everything and everything in its place!" We had the book shelf and we received the blue desks from an Uncle and Aunt. I love hand-me-downs! My brother also gave us the big black desk. Thanks so very much for your help and support. (If your thinking that we are related to home schoolers, I'd likes to say right now we are not. We have no close family that home schools.)
As we began to transform Buster's room into the schoolroom we had to work on finishing a bedroom downstairs in our basement for Buster to go to. My husband worked very hard and did a great job framing it in and getting it all wired. Now all we have to do is sheet rock and carpet. That is the job for this weekend.

The boxes are here

Our boxes came yesterday and it felt just like Christmas morning. We were soooo excited. It was so much fun to open the boxes and see what was in them. Sweetie kept on screaming with excitement and saying, "Open this one, and open this one." Lulu's favorite part was opening her rock sample box. She loves rocks and since we opened the boxes 24 hours ago she has asked me at least 4 times if we can start school yet. I also loved how the boxes were labeled on the outside, "What's inside?" Buster was away at Grandma's when they came, so we just opened his boxes for him and showed him what he got oncde he was home. The boxes do come labeled with the child's name. I also like that.

The Children

I thought I would introduce you to the children that this blog will be about. Under code names there is...

The curriculum

The boxes are on their way. They should be arriving this Wednesday and Thursday. I check every day to see where they are at. I get really excited.

Since they are on their way it is time to get serious about how I am going to organize them. This week will be a week of organizing and finding a home for everything.

While the curriculum is for my two older children I do not have anything for the younger two. Well I do have some things I have collected over the years having worked in two daycare settings and also having a love for teaches my children. I do love gaining as much knowledge as I can when it comes to this subject so I have been to the library and blog stocking. I am loving what I am finding. I plan on putting together my own pre-school activities. I'm excited.
