Our Homeschool Art Class!
We adore our homeschool art teacher, a very talented artist who encourages the kids creativity. In class they study a country each week. The teacher uses a globe to show them where the country is and art books with the samples of the country's art. This year the kids studied China and the Ukraine, as well as created water colors and self portraits. We are really looking forward to the Fall classes!

Our short phase of Montessori:) CLASSROOM reflections
I decided white rugs on the floor for private work space would be a great idea. It lasted for a short time, and was nice while it lasted:)!
This was the "classroom" when we were in our Waldorf Year
I miss the nature table! I think I am going to have to bring that back to our "class". My youngest just isn't into nature as the older ones were at his age. I hope to get him more interested when the weather improves.
Classroom Reflections...
Over the past 7 years of homeschooling, I've changed classrooms and curriculums almost every year always in search of the perfect one:)! I have learned what I liked the best of each and kept something from each method, and have continued to tweak it for each child and their learning style. But I have to admit, as much as I loved all the "classrooms" we created, we always seemed to end up sitting at the kitchen table. So now, we did away with the "classroom" and have a whiteboard next to the kitchen table. Looking back, I do miss the feeling of a specific classroom area in the house. Maybe when the destructive 3.5 year old gets a bit older, I might have to come up with yet another design for the family students ;)!
