How did all of you decide to set up your homeschool areas?

You don't really need a special place to homeschool...
You don't really need a special place to homeschool, unless most of your house is too noisy to concentrate in Probably the best thing to do is just keep all the materials for each child (textbooks, paper, pencils, assignments, homework, etc.) in a box, and stow the box near to where your child is most comfortable learning. It's very convenient if you can just reach over and pick up a book whenever you find yourself at loose ends, and it keeps things from getting lost.
If your child needs a hard surface for writing on, try getting a lap desk - something with a hard top and a soft bottom that can be placed on the lap. Sitting at the kitchen table often isn't convenient or comfortable.

I hated my little red desk! Although it was nice to have a place to keep my books, I am an adventurer, and I have always had trouble staying still. (I probably would have been diagnosed with something common if I had been taken to a doctor ) I think it held me back more then anything. I loved to do my school work on the floor or in the tree fort, but it wasn't allowed most of the time. Some kids probably do a lot better with a desk then others, so keep this in mind. If the floor or table are not working, try something else.
Today was such a beautiful day at my house, the boys did their homework in the back of the truck with the tailgate down! they had a blast and took frequent fun breaks on there bikes. Why let the weather go by when you can enjoy it and do your work at the same time
Phi 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
I am currently homeschooling three girls. Each has a deisgnated milk crate in their favorite color for books and materials, and a binder that contains their lesson plans. We do most of our homeschooling around the kitchen table, so that I can help each when it is needed. I also made sure that each has an area or desk space they can go to if they need to concentrate more on certain items. I feel this provides a more relaxed setting than the blackboard, school desk routine
