1st day of school

First day of the 2010/2011 school year.  The school room still isn't done, but at lest the workstation is done.  You can see how wonderful it is!!!  I just know we're going to LOVE LOVE LOVE that 10' countertop workspace!!!  The drawer between the kids has been divided, so they each have their own section for stuff.  Under the drawer is their noncurrent books all in order of usage through the year.  Their current books are on the shelf above their workspace.

(I used the old camera, so the quality of these photos is poor...)

Yes, the TV is on but it's tuned to a MUSIC station.  It shows you the artist/conductor/etc.  They love to listen to classical, jazz, modern instrumental, etc. while they're working.  I don't allow music with words during school time.

Eventually, above where the TV is will be a shelf for the satalite box and DVD player so only the TV will be on the counter.  That table in the foreground on the left is a computer desk.  Obviously I don't  have it set up yet.  The window isn't cased in yet, actually none of the trim is in yet.  So, there is a HUGE glare in the mornings.  Hopefully window casement will go in this week so I can get the curtains up.  That table you see slighly on the right will be where I grade and we'll use it for a craft table, puzzles, games, etc.

YAY!  Loving the room so far!!!  I can't wait until my sewing table and supplies comes in!!
