Developing a Home Classroom
Stations
Creating WorkstationsA workstation is just an overly complex term for a desk or other area where someone can work, hopefully comfortably, and with good access to the resources they need. You will need two kinds of workstations in your schoolroom: one for the teacher and one for each of the students who will be in school at the same time.
Creating Learning Stations
For any parent, one of the most common pieces of advice to help their children be serious about school work is to have a place dedicated to that work. Homeschool is no different. You should have a desk for each student in your classroom. A desk can be as simple as a small table or as elaborate as a desk/hutch combination with shelves, built-in lighting, and other niceties. Check out the usual sources for this kind of furniture, such as furniture stores, office supply stores, and school equipment suppliers. For example, you can easily find companies on the Web that sell "real" school desks for a modest price.
So you'll need to provide each child with his or her workstation that includes a writing surface, comfortable chair, good lighting, and hopefully, some storage for books and other materials a desk with an overhead hutch is ideal for this.
