As back-to-school season begins, most military parents already know the deal — we go to the store, supply list in-hand, and check off the boxes for tissues, glue sticks, and dry erase markers just in time to pack them into an overly stuffed backpack for our kid’s first day of school; However, this year might look a bit different as many military kids and parents are finding themselves tasked with creating virtual learning spaces.
Whether you need a quiet space for homework or a more permanent place to do all of their online assignments during hybrid or virtual learning, here are 5 adorable and functional ideas for designing small classrooms at home.

5. Homeschooling at the Kitchen Table
Let’s be honest — not all of us have the space to dedicate an entire room or section of a room into a classroom. But don’t worry! With a little organization, Drenched in the Desert found that their family actually prefers homeschooling from the kitchen table.
