After schools were already closed due to the pandemic and studentsTeaching from homehad followed, there is now a threat of closure again. Whether you're preparing for such a situation, teaching your child yourself from home, or just want to design a room where your children can study and do homework without being disturbed, we have a few tips to help you do just that can set up perfect classrooms. But even if you don't have a free space available, that doesn't have to stop you from your plan. A smaller area in one of the living rooms is also suitable for this purpose.
Set up a school room – separate room or small area?
Of course, this depends primarily on whether you even have a free room available. A guest room, for example, can be converted for this purpose, but other rooms are also suitable. If necessary you can also have oneRemodel corner in living roomor you can set up a learning area in the children's room yourself. So before you start with the rest of the planning, first think about where you want to set up the classroom.
Of course, it is also important how many children it is intended for. And if you live in a particularly small apartment and can't even rearrange a study area, just use what you have - the kitchen island in the kitchen, the dining table in the living room, or your parents' workspace. But then organize the area so that everything you need is always within easy reach. Ideally, the study area is in a bright place.
What belongs in the room?
Depending on the space available, it is advisable to dedicate a separate area to each school subject. These include, for example, a craft and painting corner for art lessons with paper, paints and other necessary utensilsReading areaand writing, a world map on the wall for the geography area, etc. “Wall” is another key word, because you can use it not only for a world map, but also for other decorations or a shelf for books.
The seating area
It is important that children during lessonssit comfortably. This is the only way they can concentrate, learn and work well. Choose oneChair, which is tailored to the size of the child. This means that your feet should rest comfortably on the floor. If you can't find a suitable chair, you can alternatively set up a box for the children to rest their legs on.
Of course he should tooDesknot missing. This can stand freely in the room like in a real classroom, but also on a wall like normally in a child's room. That basically depends on how you want to set up the rest of the classroom. Especially if you have little space, a desk with drawers proves to be very useful because it offers storage space for notebooks, pens and other things. As an alternative to the classic desk, you can also use simple onesRemodel shelves or cupboards. With a plate you can quickly create a workstation whose size can vary according to your needs.
And that brings us to themlittle thingsYou should get: Writing, painting and craft supplies, including ink pens, pencils, paints, scissors, glue, rulers, compasses and everything else you might need at school. About all these little thingsto sort, you can use regular tupperware containers or baskets, some of which you may already have at home. Writing utensils that you want to have ready to hand can also be stored in mason jars on the table. Since the glasses are transparent, you can always see the contents. The same also applies to the trendy wire baskets.
SufficientLichtis very important. That's why it's best if you choose a roomwhich has windows. For cloudier days, you can also use a lamp to set up the classroom. If it is bright enough, the eyes don't get tired so quickly and the children can concentrate for longer.
The teacher area
They are nowthe teacherand of course also need an area. Here, shelves for books, organizers for staplers and storage space for pens prove to be very useful in order to have everything within reach and organized. You can even place a blackboard on a free wall if you have the space for it.
You can also put a desk or a small table in the room where you can sit and teach. If space doesn't allow it, you can simply sit at the child's desk.
Set up a classroom with enough storage space
ThatShelves necessarywe have already mentioned. Cabinets and more specifically filing cabinets are also very practical. Not only school books can be stored there, but also notebooks from all school subjects. Properly organized, you always have them to hand. We recommend choosing a height for this type of furniture that corresponds to that of the children so that they can easily reach every book and magazine themselves.
