My bell has mysteriously disappeared from my entryway table. I can't begin to speculate as to what might have happened to it! (ha ha) It was as beautiful as it was loud in its old school charm. I shall have to investigate. Certainly none of MY children would STEAL it and try to CONCEAL it from me!
My basement shelves weren't quite finished yesterday, but am told that now they are quite done. I should be able to start organizing down there today. I will try to throw the books on the shelves if I don't have time to sort them. Not the ideal in organizing but this is real life and they need a home NOW. If anyone would like to comment and give me pointers as to how they organize books I am open to suggestions. I was thinking of sorting them by subject for text and work books, then by grade; separate shelves for preschool, juvenile, older literature; then separate shelves by subject for historical fiction, biographies and "living" books. I've been homeschooling a long time so I have acquired a collection. I plan to throw out/donate badly used books and books I haven't used in years and/or books I don't love. Unfortunately, it appears I love many of them.

You'd better check and see if your children love them before you throw out books YOU don't love!
I have books sorted by subject---art, history, religion, science, etc. If I have textbooks, they're usually in grade order; history has the different eras together starting with ancient greeks. Then there are story and chapter books which are loosely organized, but mostly just end up sorted by size.
Thanks for the tip! So you don't sort chapter books by author alphabetically?
