Today, I will describe the garage-house combo that I am learning in. The building has two floors, and just three rooms that we use. All though it looks very messy in these pictures, this was right before we cleaned up, and made the space much neater. A fourth room is rented out by a company called SocialSci, and is used as a workspace during the day.
The top floor (shown at right) is one gigantic room, with a table in the middle and big windows. The "Hall of Screens" (the only place kids are allowed to use a computer) is on the second floor. All of the meetings we have are on the second floor.Downstairs, we have two rooms; one large one, and the library. The library is often used as a quiet place for reading and writing. This is mainly because it has a door that shuts out noise. Kids store their backpacks here.
This is the other room on the first floor. It also has a table, and a couch. The walls of this room are used for storage. This room is like a center room, because it is connected to all of the other rooms. Thanks for reading!
Nice blog ... good photos ... it helps to picture the space - it's a good historical record!

I'm curious about the two signs in the third photo that say "take something" and "time to be" … I'm not sure I can read the last word in either of them (maybe it's "take something apart"?) but the messages are interesting!
ReplyDeleteHi Max,
ReplyDeleteI'm really excited about this experience you are having. I wish I had been able to provide this alternatie for my children when they were younger and still in school.
