Well i have spent the last week tweaking the Portable Circle Time. I added more stuff and tried to make it appeal to all 3 younger ones. I still have a few empty spots so if over time I find something I want to add I can..but here it is! ( if you’d like more detailed descriptions of some of the items see the original post)
Tje front.. I put felt pieces I had and glued them all over ( hence the mismatched colors) . Then I put the weather station and date and the new How Many Days of Learningas well as the Learning Center which will change theme weekly.
The How Many Days of Learning is simply snack size baggies turn on their sides and the tops cut off, then hung with velcro. ( I am trying to keep the cost of this whole center down)
The back flaps are where I am storing the extra Straws, dates, months, weather items:
The inside:
World Geography:( these and all the other “flash cards” came form the dollar spot at Target)
US Geography:
Colors,Shapes and letters:
Game time..make from different “Learning Centers” from ebookdestination.com I will change this every few days..I have about 100 of them all made and ready to use covering science, geography,math, reading etc:
And our clock to practice telling time!
We can’t wait until Wednesday to really start using this!!!
WOW, that is a really neat idea! I think I might have to pass this on to my sister, if you don’t mind. Hope the kids have fun Wednesday!!
Looks like fun! I bet the kids love it!
Looks awesome hon. You are such a talented homeschool mom!
This is just great… I put a link to your post on my blog pointing others here.
like I said on my site…
ALMOST makes me wish I had little kids again so I could use this this year. Guess I will have to wait for future grandkids.
This is great… I’ve been thinking about creating a portable circle time since I saw your post originally. Now, I’m going to have to get on the ball.. Thank you for sharing..
This is awesome! If you don’t mind, I will use this.
Very neat idea.
I use those huge project boards to do gigantic lapbooks with my kids.
Love this! I am going to have to make up one for my 8 year old to help him with his calendar skills and weather.
This is a FANTASTIC idea… and just what I need!! Thank you for sharing this! A giant lapbook for “meeting time”… or even as a general bullitin board in our homeschool – I can see how I could do one for my Bigs and one for my Littles – and it’s all “put-away-able”! YAY!

Inspired!
Blessings!!

I absolutely love your circle board idea and we are busy creating it right now. I like your thermometer picture. Where did you get it? Thanks for your help.
What a wonderful way of using your space. I can just imagine how you could convert your dining room into a classroom and back in a matter of minutes with this creative idea. I wish I had thought of it when I was teaching and never had enough wall space.
I hope you don’t mind that I have added a link to your site from my http://www.squidoo.com/telling-time webpage.
That’s the bomb! You are so clever! I wish I ha younger kids again to use all this great stuff!
