My Montessori Mess!
Well, I spent the day working on organizing the school room for starting our learning again! I am making a chalk board for our space, and I am figuring out how to make things flow! Want to see my results? Well here is what I have:
Not what you thought you’d see is it? 🙂 What a mess. I emptied all the shelves and started to rearrange everything! My goal was to make things flow better and have cleaned space. I felt like there was stacks of stuff on the shelves that were not easy to get to. Plus, I didn’t need the table top chalkboard since I was making one for the wall. That freed up some space and it made me able to use it differently. I love using the Montessori materials as decoration, but I felt like things were too cluttered. So we are changing that too. Plus, I am trying to make the art shelf stocked and ready! So….you will have to wait to see it all when its not a huge mess! I hope it will be in the next day or two! On a side note, I do know that not only is my school room a mess, so it my blog! I am working on that too! So now, it is time for me to stop talking (typing) and get to work! Happy School Planning!

I completely understand the feeling! When summer began, I pulled almost everything off our shelves, to do little things, and have so many Montessori/Montessori inspired materials shoved in shelves all over the house and the knowledge of that has the inner organizer in me going stir crazy! I am so ready to be finished pulling my thoughts together so I can get everything cleaned out and straightened back the way it should be! I look forward to the ‘after’ pictures – I just LOVE the space you have available for your school area!

Thanks Amy! I feel the same way though about the stuff all over! My inner organizer is going a bit crazy! I finished late last night and it looks pretty good (I think)! Now to get things planned out for some learning presentation! Stop back tonight for the after pics!

I’d love to have the space you have there!! I try hard to organize my homeschool room but it is so little and we have so much that even when “organized” it doesn’t look like it. It probably less than half of yours. I like your homeschool room we can trade it if you’d like?? yes??? haha, I wish! haha. It is not easy to keep any room of the house clean and organize constantly…I can’t do it. Your room looks organize to me…it needs a bit of space to sit at the table…or just the mat to work on the floor even! Good work! Soon it will be all organized again!! Take a look at my h-room and you may understand how good you have it! http://tatyland-montessori.blogspot.com/2013/08/homeschoolplayroom-tour-2013.html Best wishes!!

Hi Monica! Good to hear from you! When I switched my blog, I seem to have lost a lot of my blog addresses! I am glad you popped by! The room is all back in order! It was one of those moments when you think “Oh I will just move this over here…” next thing you know you have moved everything! Hahaha! At least its all back and ready to roll for a while! I have found that working in two different Montessori levels requires more space and creative organizing! But we are getting it I think! Hope you stop back tonight to see the results!
