Just a reminder to send me your links or pictures of your learning spaces this week. I'll be trying to get the fair up by Monday. I have an email address listed at my blog or you can use the pm.
Visit Elizabeth's Real Learning for more information.
We don't need to be perfect. I think the idea is to collect organizational ideas, shelving tips, your book case set up, ideas that help with the toddlers.
You don't need a blog. If you would send me your ideas in paragraph form that would be great. Pictures are an added bonus. Just let me know!
Thanks in advance.

Hi Helen,
I'm sure you'd probably like our posts sooner rather than later, but would it be all right if I send you my learning room post sometime tomorrow? (It's taking me longer than I'd hoped to get this post up!)

No problem Dawn.
I am experiencing the same sort of problem. I am delighted about this Fair because it has really put some motivation into these old bones.  For me, I'm discovering more work in my room than I cared to admit.
I was wondering if maybe we could all have an extension of time? A day or two more? Would anyone else benefit from this suggestion? Otherwise, I'm fine for Monday.

Oh, Yes! I would love to participate but could use a little more time.

Hmm...we could move it to the following Monday and then slide the Bedrooms to the one after that. I think the Bedroom hostess might be grateful . Let's hear from Kim and Helen before making it official...

I would be very happy to host the fair the following week. It's been very helpful to have this motivation. Postponing a week, gives me a few days to work on the organizing and then some more time to actually post about it.

I can do whenever too. I just had planned to get my post up today and I don't think I'll have it up till late tomorrow. I wasn't sure how late was too late for you, Helen. (I'm still working on the "learning spaces" as I type!  )

I'd like more time. My room is just about ready, but I haven't had time to take pictures or post yet because the dc are sick. I might be able to do it tonight, but I'd rather not rush.

Oh, yes! A day or so more would be perfect! I plan on getting the room in final order today, but I've so much else to do to get ready for school to begin on monday that I am sure I will not have time to post about it today. Oh, and my dd's first football game half-time show is tonight! So, my night is full, too!

I'll be finishing up my post this weekend. Is that too late. Did we move it? Helen, I think it helps if you give a definate day that you want the posts by (they'll still trickle in) but then we can really target ourselves.
What day?

I'm not ignoring you; I'm waiting for Kim. If we move the Learning Spaces one, we need to move the bedroom one. I have a hunch it's fine with Kim; I just haven't confirmed. let me give her time to get the milking done and then I'll call.

Now it's official. Learning Spaces on September 4th and Bedrooms on the 11th. Then Living Rooms on the 18th. That's three weeks in a row. Plan now!

Oh Good!
We wil be cleaning out our learning area this weekend so now I'll have plenty of time to join in!
Uh, you don't want to see my bedroom-let's just say it is not very elegant and it is a pile of clothes with a bed jammed in there.

Oh, good. We've been rushing to get the house in order for my inlaws' visit tomorrow, but I've been working so hard I don't have time to post about anything I've done! I also still have to figure out exactly what materials I'm going to start with.

I'm beginning to organize the posts that have been sent in to me. I thought it would be more interesting if I introduced each entry with an educational quote. As I began to look through a book of quotations, I thought it would be easier and a better fit
if the person provided their favorite educational quote.
So, if it is not too much to ask, would you also include an educational quote with your submission? I can easily help by looking something up in this book - that's the way I found my quote for my entry .
