Facing the back window, we've moved the desk I had been using to another room to be used for sewing. The couch now occupies that back window space, which is just lovely to snuggle up on when it's a dreary day like today. We can make the most of the natural light and any warmth from the sun that manages to come in.
The children's learning table has shifted to be in front of their bookshelf. Each child has their books allocated to one shelf (where possible), with the bottom shelf holding various resources and jigsaw books. The cupboard space underneath is ideal for storing the laminator and other bulkier items.
The art/craft/stationery supplies cupboard now lives to the left of it. The other bookshelf with all the games has been moved to Maestro's room.
I like the fact that I now have some wall space to put a few things up on display. It may well be where a magnetic whiteboard will soon live as I intend to start using All About Spelling soon.
My 'teacher's corner' hasn't changed too much. Hubby found this writing desk for me as a replacement for the sewing desk.
Standing near the fireplace, you can see across the room to where our music corner is. The filing cabinet holds music books, a few percussion instruments, and one drawer is for all my music teaching notes/files/books. As you can see, the middle of the room is lots of space for the children to practice their dancing. (No, we don't have any birds in the birdcage. That's been passed on to me from my Mum, and is still wishful thinking for the children.)

great to have another peek! I remember you gave me some very helpful ideas about a year ago when I posted a question on the hs forum and then came over to have a peek at your school room then!
Lovely school room! I'm inspired to do a little reshuffling too. Now that my elsdest son is going to college, I only have 3 homeschoolers left: 2 are my own daughters, and the other one is a relative's.
Thanks for the inspiration.
Great stuff :) I never knew the SL binder was THAT thick!
Very Nice! Looks like a great place for learning!
The room has changed so much since we were visiting. It looks great, lots of hard work!
I am getting lots of ideas for our learning room :)
Wow, very nice and organized and I love that piano. You could always put a fake bird in that cage and call it a compromise! LOL I saw a lot of SL books that I have too-great program. Enjoy your year
I like your room! I'm sure the wood stove makes it nice and cozy in the winter.
That is lovely. Lucky you. Are you enjoying Water Sky? I loved thatt book. So very interesting.
OSG ~ yes Sonlight binders are quite thick, especially when filled with the Core, Language Arts and Science!!
Sheri ~ a fake bird, hey? One that chirps on the hour would be good, lol!
Briana ~ yes that wood fire is very cosy. I should mention that we pretty much live in this room all winter, but in summer prefer the other end of the house (dining room) for schooling.
Ganeida ~ Water Sky was great! We're into The Wolves of Willoughby Chase now, and What ever happened to Penny Candy. (I should update my sidebar. smiles!)
What a beautiful home you have! We love watching the birds too! I have a feeder in front of each window so the boys can see them while they work and I can see them while I read ;)
BTW, I'm doing the TOS blog walk
Swoon. Just love this room. Coveting the piano about now...
Great space! I love the large windows that let in the natural light. Great music area too!
