Sneak Peek: Learning/Playroom Tour

I've posted pics on E's Learning/Play Room before but there have been changes. The resources have grown and we have new storage in here plus it's been reorganized for some time now.

As you enter the room this is the Montessori center on the left side. Loads of wooden and cardboard puzzles - with sounds and without, manipulatives, educational games - telling time, I Spy, etc. knobbed cylinders, botany and zoology puzzles, rough and smooth boards, sound cylinders, knobless cylinders, pink cubes, lacing pegboards, writing insets and much, much more. On the side of the shelves, you see a plastic drawer storage system. These store my teaching resources and manuals. On top of it, there are boxes that store the various cards that I've made and laminated for E using the Xyron 900. Unfortunately due to the amount of material we have, some non-Montessori material have made their way here too.
E's train table with all his accessories neatly kept away in the drawers.

As you move along the left wall, you'll arrive at the Geography, Math and Science centers. That's a wipe-off sheet on the glider/rocker for E to practice writing. The box sitting on the seat is one that's chock-full of laminated activities covering Math, Reading and Writing and a paper snake made by E sits atop it.

Reading and Games center. There's a little child's table with two chairs in there that's hardly used anymore except as a catch-all/organization for the day/prep center. On top of it sits E's new supply for his latest pet(s) hermit crabs. Have not gotten around to the pet store yet. Those are puppets hanging on the shelf and some more can be seen stored in a little basket at the left corner on the floor.

Reading, Writing and Manipulatives center.

Plenty storage with loads more material stored inside. His continent map puzzles are in there. So are his huge collection of National Geographic magazines and more educational toys neatly stored in their boxes. As you can see, there are plastic tubs just exactly fitting the top of these storage cabinets.

My desire is to get this room even more organized as we do have some things that end up on the floor but I'll have to wait till I finish some other more pressing projects first. So, this will do for now. :-)
