I can't wait to encourage my students to take advantage of the classroom library. I have been extremely lucky to have received a previous teacher's books and have added many more titles. But the library area currently looks like an industrial place rather than a space that should be enjoyed. The seating and rug I will add to the space will make it inviting and encourage students to spend more time perusing books or simply getting comfortable to read something new. I have a few carpet squares (personal size) that students will be able to use with the area, but not enough for everyone, and they are becoming a little worn. The adorable bean bag chairs will provide a place to sit and read aloud to a stuffed animal, while a wobble-stool will provide a student with the ability to move while staying on task for stamina reading. I'm so excited about this opportunity to create a beautiful area for my students!
