The new phonics room

I have added some pictures for you to see the transformation from a carport to a phonics room. In the bottom picture you will notice the car in the garage and the house having a purple door.
We enclosed the carport and used the siding from the now inside wall to put on the new outside wall.
My husband did most of the work himself, we bought all the windows at a garage sale (at a hardware store). The ceiling is slanted as we just put insulation , then pine boards right on the original roof of the carport. The floor is done with foam sqaures that we bought at Walmart. The floor is fantastic to work on and the kids love it. The down side to the flooring is the cats love it too, they love to sharpen their claws on it. The floor was very inexpensive ($1. per foot) and one great thing about it is that you can replace a piece very easily if it get stained or ripped. We put the floor directly on the pavement but yet it feels very warm to walk on.
I have heard of one phonics games that I think will work out very nicely with this new floor. You put a letter down on one of the squares and another letter on another square, you then say a word and the kids jump to the correct letter square of the beginning sound.
I bought the furniture at the thrift store. The long green cupboard is actually a baby change table. It works perfectly to hold my sentence strips right in the middle.
We finished the front of the house by painting the front door green and adding a flower box under the window. The door to the main part of the house is not visible in the finished picture. We didn't want to have two outside doors facing the front of the house so we put the entrance to the phonics room in an alcove so you can't actually see it from a front view.
