This is definitely not the typical homeschool room post! I’m supposed to be showing pictures of my perfectly organized room, with a specific spot for everything. Know what my homeschool room looks like right now?
This:
and this:
This is what it used to look like: Our Homeschool Room – 2012-2013, since then we have made lots of changes.
The reason? Homeschooling through a move, again! Although this time we are moving to our permanent home. Yay! Last year it was our big move from Michigan to Florida and we moved into a house that we rented, now we are buying and can really make the house our home.
Last year as we were unpacking into our rental space, it was hard to feel too settled. We knew it was temporary, I didn’t want to purchase anything to fit this particular house because I knew we weren’t going to be there long! It was a bit challenging, but we were thankful to be in Florida and have a roof over our heads.
While we are getting settled and I’m planning our homeschooling space, I’m perusing my favorite homeschool spaces Pinterest boards:

Until that happens we will be doing school portable style!
Looking for more on Homeschooling through a move? I have a chapter on that in The Big Book of Homeschool Ideas – a great addition to any homeschool library.
Stay tuned, I will be updating this post with a link to our new school room! **Update** – Our Homeschool Learning Spaces (2014-2015)

We moved in March so I feel your pain. The excitement of getting to organize a new homeschool space. Followed by the REALIZATION that you have to organize a new homeschool space. I know it will turn out wonderfully a day or two before you HAVE to start school. 😉 Blessings, K

Yes! Fun to dream, not so much fun to actually complete. Interestingly enough we have already started school – it just adds to the excitement

I’m so glad to see your post! I was sitting here thinking “But my spaces are not ready for the blog hop!” We moved in November and adopted a newborn in December so I’m still trying to get use to the new house and new spaces with school. I guess I’ll post what I have and not feel too bad it isn’t perfect! May God bless your new move!

Congrats on your move and your new addition!!

It is so hard to homeschool while moving, but I do see lots of exciting potential in your new learning space. Love the window!

We just experienced that earlier this year! When we moved I was about to have our 3d baby and I decided NOT to tackle our school room, but over the summer I did with my husband’s and kid’s help! Looking forward to seeing your room once it’s done but for now, school wherever and don’t get stressed about it!

Just curious where you purchased the black caddy from. (The too right picture).
Thank you
