MY FAVORITE CHAIR, FINALLY FINISHED!

I LOVE THE WAY IT TURNED OUT! :) CAN'T WAIT TO USE IT WITH MY NEW KIDS DURING SHARED READING/READ ALOUDS & SHARED/INTERACTIVE WRITING. :) THE KIDS ALWAYS ASK TO SIT IN IT WHEN THEY ARE READING TO THEMSELVES.

More Zebra Love

I found this cute little stool at a 2nd hand store for $8!!!! Can you believe that??? Hobby Lobby has most of their fabric 30% off right now so $10, some hot glue, and a staple gun later....my awesome hubby helped made this for me!!!!!!!!! I love him!!! I helped a little like held stuff in place so he could do the tough part of wielding the high powered staple gun. How cute is this? It will go perfectly in my classroom. I am really enjoying all these projects & can't wait to see my room completed.

Shelf Painting

This book shelf is on the wall above my sink. I had a sudden urge to paint it too! Lots of painting going on this year. I started late September 2011 so I didn't have the summer to makeover my room. I am taking full advantage of it this summer. I am loving making things look better for my future kiddos! :) The "then" picture was at the very beginning so the books had not been separated & put in a good spot. Now I have these on a low shelf- soon to be even lower to fit under the tray of my white board---these are all books the kids have full access to at all times. The shelf above the sink is now used for my notebooks full of CE stuff, workshop stuff, etc...things the kids don't necessarily need access to but I still need. Now my shelf matches my black chair & the kids chairs at the small group table (which I still need to touch up & move to their home. :) )
