We're Almost There!!

Yay!!  After months of planning, dreaming, searching, studying, doubting and then having my conviction renewed that this is the right thing for us, we are just four weeks away from starting Ambleside Online!!  It's been a crazy ride, but I think I've about got everything pulled together.  Their math is supposed to be delivered on Tuesday, and the last couple of books are coming from Amazon.  We went with Algebra and Geometry from Math-U-See after extensive research and I think (hope) it will be a good fit.  I haven't liked the algebra we used this year, but wasn't able to switch it out.

We're doing year round schooling, so we're still in school right now--the older ones are finishing up the last of their science and math--but starting July 27th we will officially be in the 2015-2016 school year and officially using AO.  I can't wait!!

I had the brilliant idea of using one book shelf (5 shelves) for our school books for the year, but I'm running out of room!!  Their required reading for the year mostly fits on one shelf, but the free reads are overflowing--especially for the oldest two!  I know they don't have to have all the free reads, but I've been able to make great finds at a local used book store, and they're such good books I don't want to leave any out except for the Science Fiction or Tolkein/Lewis books.  (I know, most think they're wonderful, but we don't and they're not an option here.)    My dream is to have a library/school room with tons of bookshelves.  Right now I have them in multiple rooms, so it would be nice to have them in one central location.  How do you organize your books for homeschool?
