Sadly this is the only picture I can share with all of you of our very small schoolroom since it is always overflowing with books, papers and other clutter. Sure our room was clean for the first week of school but with budget cuts this year, the janitor only comes once a week (LOL).

To tell you the truth every space in our home is utilized for learning. Yes, even the bathroom, you ask. Many of my kids will read just about anywhere in the house. (LOL). This room is used for some things but it's main purpose was to store all of our school stuff. Over the few short years since we have had this room, we have outgrown it.

Many have asked what our curriculum plans are for this year. After many months of research, purchasing and shipment travels here is our list for the 2010-2011 school year?
