The end of the school year is slowly approaching and we have discovered some major disorganization in our school room. The majority of the mess is in our closet. We had 2 bookshelves in the closet, one of which was slowly breaking. We decided to repair the broken shelf and move it out to our sun room for John's new books. We build some new shelves in the closet and reorganized the stuff that sits on them...here is the closet before today...
And here it is after our shelves were built today. We moved all our games into the closet and used the old game shelf (with doors) for our library. Ashlyn organized all of our reading books in there by subject or type of book so that we could have a reading corner in the room. I was excited to have our games, scrap booking supplies, and play dough (in a new 3-drawer thing I grabbed from Ashlyn's room) in the locked closet when we have company. It also helped me get rid of some stuff we haven't played with in a while. I moved the smaller bookcase in the game/craft corner with each child's cubbie container so they can color and get their supplies right near the table. I also added all of our school supplies in new containers, tubs, etc and threw away broken ones. Here is the new school closet...
Here are some more pictures of the room. I tried to take them going around the room so you can see it all. I was able to throw away 2 big bags of trash, add 2 big bags of stuff to our garage sale pile, and re-organize every one's school supplies and desks for the rest of the school year! We are going to hang some sheets around our library corner later this week. That is the corner with the book cabinet and white recliner chair before the train table. Ashlyn has been working on that part of the room all day and did a great job organizing all the books. She might help me make some sheer curtains for the room too while she is on Spring break this week.
