There are moments when I really do wish that we had a room dedicated to schoolwork and school related supplies. Then there are times when I know my girls would not do nearly as well without the freedom to read curled up on a couch or stretched out on a bed, sprawl on the living room floor for math, or sit downstairs to watch a science dvd.
So, I guess it’s a toss-up for me.
Here are the places where learning happens in our house (and I did NOT clean things up for the pictures–just wanted to keep it real):
This is where we most often start our school days
This is our “school cupboard” and it sits off the side of the kitchen
Much is done at this counter, including lunch!
The living room is a favorite–please forgive the weird cat eyes
My oldest has a desk in her room, but most often it is used as a cat perch
So that’s where you’ll find us! Want to see how others spend their school days? Join us at the iHomeschool Network!
How fun! I love seeing other homeschool spaces 🙂 While I would LOVE a schoolroom, admittedly I love using our dining room table as well!
 I like seeing what other people do too!
We spend quite a bit of time at the dining room table. There’s times when you can’t even SEE the table for all the books, papers, and supplies on it! 🙂
I love the way you keep it simple. Â We have a room that has most of our ‘stuff’….but, we enjoy the rest of the house!
 It is nice to be able to use all kinds of different spaces and environments–just one more thing that’s great about homeschooling, isn’t it?!
Life and school–so closely related, aren’t they! Good job!
 They are quite intertwined! Thanks for dropping by today!
I love to see other families who homeschool all over the house! Cute cat too 🙂
She’s been a lot of fun–although she can be quite the distraction at times too! 🙂 Thanks for stopping by today!
Love the kitty 🙂
We love her too! She brings lots of fun and laughs. Thanks for stopping by today!
Yes! “Education is an atmosphere…” and why should it not be the most natural atmosphere possible? Love the post (and the kitty!)Â
 Exactly!
Thank you for your kind words!

Love it! Hope you have a wonderful school year!
 Thank you!
Love it! Hope you have a wonderful school year!
Yep, we have done the communal HS space more times than I care to admit.  I really like to have a space where I can shut the door and ignore all the papers that need correcting 😉  We won’t have that in this space either.  But oh well, guess that means I have to work on organizing the teacher’s desk, eh??  😉
Yeah, there are days when it takes me forever to find the table so we can eat dinner! 🙂 Blessings on your year in your new place!
We homeschool all over too.
Blessings, Dawn
There are some great advantages to it! Thanks for stopping by today!

Looks like our “school room”, too!

I’ve found quite a few people who wander all over the house! Thanks for stopping by today–on my way over to visit your place. 🙂
I love that you placed a cabinet with doors for your materials! Homeschooling takes up so much of our homes (as it should), but we moms want to have a place to put it away if necessary! So smart!!
 We have used that cabinet for many years now, and it’s showing quite a bit of wear, but I still love having it for supplies and books!
Hey you have to work with what you have at the moment right?! We are in the ministry so we move alot and right now our formal dinning is our Homeschool Room, we don’t eat in there really anyways lol! Happy Schooling this next year.

Thanks for stopping by! I totally understand the moving around thing–we’ve been there too. Right now we’ve actually been in the same place for 7 years, which is a record for us!
We’ve had both – a school room and the free roaming schooling and I think we all do better with the free roaming. It looks great! And I wish my house looked that clean when I didn’t clean before pictures. lol
Thanks! My biggest pet peeve is that coffee table in the living room. It becomes the depository for everyone’s stuff!

Pretty much our idea of a school room too!! I have found my kids get too distracted when they are in the same room working on different subjects so we are spread out.
Yep–we have found the same thing! Thanks for stopping by!
We start out at our table too!

You have a nice setup. Have a blessed year together!
I am enjoying your posts and photos. Sort of wish I had got in on this. It would have been fun I think. Most of our school is done at the dining room table and on the couch.
