School room changes

As we gear up and prepare for another school year we’ve made some changes in our school room.  We had hoped to have made a school room in the garage by now, but that hasn’t happened yet so we are trying to utilize the room we use currently as efficiently as we can.

We added a set of IKEA bookshelves where we originally had another desk and computer. Last year I noticed that desk didn’t get as much use and took up space. When the monitor broke I decided it’s time to save up for a laptop that can be used at the kitchen table and use this corner for something else. My calendar wall was on this wall but since it’s now covered by the bookshelf that had to be moved too. I decided to use my bulletin board for our calendar wall. I will miss having a place to display all the sweet art work that is made here, but my other option was moving our “Chicka Chicka Boom Boom” tree and since I will be having a new kindergartener we will need a place to add her letters that she’s learning. Our Chicka Chicka Boom Boom tree The bulletin board ended up being a perfect fit to hold all our calendar pieces. My little ones saw me moving this around and were begging to do “calendar time”! Hopefully they hold on to that enthusiasm! One other little change was to remove all crayons, markers, scissors, and glue out of reach my little Picasso.  He loves nothing more than a handful of markers and my floor to occupy his time.  I had some IKEA (have I mentioned my love for IKEA?) spice racks that I wasn’t using so  my hubby cut them down to fit this area and after a coat of spray paint they were ready to go. I’m sure Shiro will figure out how to drag a chair over to climb up and grab them, but at least it gives this prego body a chance to intercept him!
