My Project

My students love to have pops of color in the library. It would be great to have some new baskets for the tables to hold the crayons and markers for coloring while they have their read aloud weeks.

Dimmed lighting helps create a calmer environment.

The light covers help create a calmer mood in the library and also adds a sense of being outside under the clouds. The felt board is another great addition to the space and a great way to post updates like when books are due and upcoming events. It also adds a nice pop of color and adds a nice sense of change in the library.

The magnets are great for propping open the doors and hanging things up on the file cabinet.
