I love the idea of taking pictures of their projects and keeping a scrapbook! I have six kids from ages 20 to 2 and many boxes of drawn pictures and projects. I better stock up on photo ink and hello fire pit!

It happened to me almost instantly after the first evenings meal! I had to sneak back to my room just to process all that Holy-Spirt filled inspiration in between every session and speaker!! <br /><br />Ok, so anyway, I love your photo (lol) and ideas. I recently bought a bookshelf with square cubicals and LOVE having our many books (though not enough if you ask me!) separated by category. I'm actually getting all geeky now and labeling each book and cubicle with a colored sticker and initial to match the category. Fun stuff. <br /><br />Blessings to you!Leahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06385915444789917547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13517164.post-21592320568321714092010-11-04T22:04:03.151-05:002010-11-04T22:04:03.151-05:00Last year we started a wall where we hang things t...Last year we started a wall where we hang things that pertain to our unit of study. We take pictures of individual projects and then we also take a picture of the wall before we take everything down at the end of a unit. Keeps the childmade posters, pictures and signs around for a while, but off the floors and counters and it acts as an evergrowing bulletin board to remind he kids of certain elements of their lessons.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10540018302767717926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13517164.post-80450283044738764632010-11-04T16:25:08.533-05:002010-11-04T16:25:08.533-05:00You so inspire me!

Your post has given me courage. Perhaps I can attack the clutter in the schoolroom today!kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00138818343753454140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13517164.post-55561866370571835712010-11-02T18:54:19.929-05:002010-11-02T18:54:19.929-05:00I said OH MY GOSH, so loud when the picture came u...I said OH MY GOSH, so loud when the picture came up that my son came running to see what was wrong!

I've determined to get rid of a large amount of toys and clothes. My husband is determined that I get rid of large amounts of decorations that have been sitting in my basement - boxed up - for the past 5 years. :)<br /><br />The ministry that we're working with in Dallas also has a boutique. People donate things and missionaries home on furlough or students studying at Wycliffe's Linguistics Center can get clothes, household goods, books, etc for free - That's where most of my de-cluttering things are going!!!!<br /><br />De-cluttering, organizing - whatever you call it - it's a great opportunity to teach our kids the perils of materialism and greed. We all have far more than we need!!Gwen Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02094959197761222086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13517164.post-81917311913922754192010-11-01T09:59:27.332-05:002010-11-01T09:59:27.332-05:00Re: #2-Keep it off the floor.

One helpful tip I've stumbled into is grading yesterday's assignment when we get together for today's lesson. Not only does this help me to keep up with my grading, but provides the opportunity to go over anything the lesson shows my child is struggling with right away. When I'm done checking the lesson, my children have learned to place it in their notebook, before we proceed with the next lesson. By getting things filed routinely I am saved from having a huge pile to go through at some later date. It takes discipline to make sure these steps get taken every day, but the pay off is well worth it!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11041410021836798735noreply@blogger.com
