Homeschool Room | Tour

Since last school year, Felisberta has been working in a room that we organized for this purpose. It is a space that she loves, because in addition to school work, she also has her toys.

I decided to include her in the organization this year. She loved it! In fact, she loves to participate in the housework, so tidying up the toys and helping mommy stick the tags was fun.

The room is divided into several spaces: a reading corner, a desk, a blackboard area and a toy area.

I am an apologist for recycling as much as I can, so a lot of what appears in the room is reuse of something.

This is Felisberta’s desk. It is made of a kitchen countertop (left over from installing it) plus trestles bought at Ikea. With the countertop’s weight, the desk does not move, making it stable and durable. The cups, where I placed the supplies, are actually vases. I bought it on Amazon, but it was more the desire to plant, than anything else. So I decided to use them in her homeschool room.

It is advisable to cover the hole under the vases, otherwise pens, pencils, etc. will always fall out.
Above the desk we have the bookcase, where we store other school supplies.

And above the bookcase is the exhibition place for Felisberta’s artwork.

I decided to use the easel I bought at Ikea about 2 years ago for her. I took it apart and fixed it to the wall. Next to it is the shelf where I keep more supplies, such as whiteboard pens, eraser, other toys, etc.

The reading corner is made from cushions from my mother’s sofa, whose structure we threw away. The pillows are great and my daughter loves that space. She has fun with the books and the tablet. Next to it is the box of books: a box bought at Ikea, which I also had here at home for about a year.

This furniture holds many toys, such as lego, car track, wooden dolls, etc. Above is the dollhouse.

The middle space is free for whatever we want to do, like playing with balls, using the mirror, moving around, etc.

Above the reading corner is the shelf with work files and school books.

Of course, for homeschooling, a dedicated room is not necessary. However, it helps a lot. It keeps everything more organized and doesn’t “invade” my living room :-).

Furthermore, the child knows that space is his/her own, to work and play. The room worked very well last year. I believe it will continue to be a place of great joy and learning. She likes it and that’s what matters.
