My Project

We have been slowly but surely building a bookshelf full of books that we have requested and love! As I buy them back in to the joy of reading, I want to make a space for them that they want to go to and relax in within our classroom. Adding a charging station and trendy neon signs will do just the trick to complete the area!

Read Books, Be Kind, Stay Weird -- a perfect quote for our neon sign above our seating area next to our bookshelves!

Along with the sign, I am requesting cord hooks and a surge protector to keep the area neat and safe. With teens, it is all about finding what appeals to them! They have truly enjoyed the books we have received and are beginning to become active readers. I look forward to the excitement that this sign will bring to our classroom!
