My Disorganized Homeschool/Playroom and 9 Inspiring Homeschool/Playrooms

Hola amigos!

I am finally back from vacation and just realized that school will be starting back up next week!  This Summer truly went by so fast.  So fast that I have some much needed projects that were left undone.  I’m not sure if you know that I homeschool my toddlers, tot school, as it’s called.  I took a break from school for the Summer and really need to get back into the swing of homeschool.  Unfortunately, the big project that I had to do this Summer was to organize our playroom/school room.  So, I searched for some inspiring homeschool/playrooms to help prepare for a quick room makeover.

I have been using the sunroom as our school room for a while.  Last year, I removed all the toys from our family room and moved them into the sunroom as well.  So, now we have a play/school room and it is a mess all the time.  I mean ALL OF THE TIME!

I wanted to organize this room and to begin teaching Chi-Chi (2) the proper locations of toys.  Nugget (3) is typically really good at putting the toys away when he is asked.  However, this summer the playroom was looking like a tornado wreck every single day and I was done with cleaning.  I didn’t want to organize, didn’t want to clean it, and surely didn’t want to pick up the toys every day.  So, I did what anyone would do…I ignored the room and said I’ll do it later in the Summer.

Knock, Knock! Who’s there?  The FALL! Summer is essentially done and now I have to deal with organizing this room in two weeks.  I am going to need your support to finish on time!
Here are a few homeschool rooms that I really love.  Notice that each of the rooms utilize bookcases.

Living Out His Love
Grace and Green Pastures
Perfectly Imperfect

My first plan of action is to seek out affordable bookcases.  Right now is the best time to buy, since a lot of furniture goes on sale for the college students.

Another vital piece of homeschool furniture is a working table.  I have used the same little table for homeschooling since Nugget was about 22 months old.  Now that he is older, I am thinking that I should update the table for something more structured.

Imagine Our Life
What I definitely need is something to organize my homeschooling papers, binders, and supplies.  I had the perfect thing for this task, but unfortunately we gave it away in an attempt to downsize our furniture 3 years ago.  Now, I’m left with absolutely nothing to organize my supplies and a need to buy yet another piece of furniture.  I love how these wonderful homeschooling moms organized their supplies.

Confessions of a Homeschooler
Unfortunately, the first task that must be done is what I consider the worst.  I am not looking forward to sifting through all the toys to remove those that are no longer age appropriate.  It will not only be a tedious task, but signal the end of Chi-Chi’s baby stage.  She will be turning 3 in November and I will no longer have a baby.  Tears..tears.
Chi-Chi will be participating in a more structured tot-school this fall.  I am interested in seeing how she will adapt to the purposeful play and learning.  Nugget was more enthusiastic about school time when he was Chi-Chi’s age.  Nonetheless, school will be starting over here at Casa Watkins and I will be sharing our week’s progress as often as I can.  It is quite difficult to take pictures during Tot school when you have a toddler with a short attention span.  By the time you get your camera ready, she is done with the activity.
Thanks for stopping by my casa!
