One of the things that we realized quickly was that this would probably be one of the only years we’d be able to follow the book’s decorating guidelines anyway because we’re not running a class for only one child or only one age, but for multiple kids! So it won’t be long before “the room” will be more generic.

I think that there’s a level of fun and excitement in decorating a room for school, so I don’t think that will ever go away, but I can see the dining room becoming primarily a dining room again.

We much prefer the couch for our group learning and then each child finds a spot and sits down to do his/her independent work. You’ll often find mine at the kitchen table, on the floor, in the backyard on the porch, or laying on a bed.

So eventually, we dismantled the schoolroom and used it for a bedroom. But we do keep a small whiteboard in the dining room.

Have fun this year! Our homeschool program has morphed over the years…growing and changing with each child. What a blessing!

As for math, we’re doing Math-U-See which has DVD’s as well as workbooks– I’m pretty excited about the program.

Colleen, there is SO much out there online. Just google math tutoring for instance. I’ve joined many yahoo groups that were created just for the curriculums I use. They’ve got files and resources that save me a BUNDLE of time, plus the creativity of moms who have BTDT!

Are there online resources to help with teaching the materials? More specifically math?
