We are doing home school this year. It was mostly for financial reasons and the cost of private school. I did not want to work more or full time to send them to school. It doesn't seem worth it to me, so I would rather spend more time with them and do school at home than the stress of being away all day and the hectic afternoons. The more that we were led to home school, the more it felt right for us.
I started getting ready in June. We cleaned out our extra bedroom to use for our classroom. Then, we decided to move Hudson in that room and use his old room for school because it is bigger.

We need to hang up his wall stuff and maybe get new curtains. Josh and Papa added can lights in a few of the rooms.
I got this table and three chairs from Facebook marketplace. I also found a rug from there and it is like new.
I found chalk paint in a spray can. Josh and I painted them a charcoal color and white legs on the table. It got left out and got wet, so the top didn't dry properly. We still need to seal it because the spray sealer wasn't enough.
Josh made a frame for our map from Dollar Tree
Jennifer let me use her classroom printables and they really added to the room
One closet is for our school supplies and the other is Josh's hunting closet.
We got an inflatable globe and flags from Amazon. (still need that wall file hung) Gianna wanted to add the mint green baskets because she loves that color. Plus, they were only .98￠ at Walmart!
She has loved playing school in there for weeks
After the room was mostly set up, I got supplies and started the lesson planning. Jennifer was a huge help in that area! I have spent a lot of time at this table working on the first month of school. It has become a space that I like to sit in even when it's not school related. Josh asked me how I was feeling about school. I said anxious, yes. Nervous, yes. Scared, yes. Excited, yes. I am feeling all kinds of emotions as it gets closer. I really am looking forward to it and hopeful that it works for all of us. Mrs. Angie and Jennifer have been very encouraging and helpful as we start this new adventure.
This is a scripture that I like and want to add it in the room somewhere. My prayer is that they learn through their studies, but more importantly that their foundation is built through Jesus.
