I am 3 days into my summer vacation and I cannot get away from work! My brain is always turning about classroom organization, summer school, Daily 5 and the new reading curriculum coming our way. I am finding some time for relaxation, don't worry about that! =) Still, work is never done for this teacher...
So, I went to the Target to change up my classroom library. Anyone been to Target on a Monday morning? It is so peaceful! I got 8 very cute, blue and green containers from there and it cost me $20. Not too much, right? Well, I took those babies back, went to Dollar Tree and snagged 12 baskets for $12! Now that's a steal! I am kicking myself for not taking more "before" pictures especially because I just got this awesome new phone that links my photos to Picasa, no more emailing them to myself, but I have to remember to whip it out and show off my stuff!
Here are some of the work in progress photos...

The boxes often look like this hot mess.
Now, I have Dollar Tree on my side...

Wait, before I left I just had to do this...

What do you think? What's your favorite part of your classroom library? What am I missing here?
Thanks for visiting! Leave a comment, there's no more robot checking your vision anymore! =) Thanks to Mrs. Stanford's Class for pointing that out during her linky. I had no idea those annoying things were haunting my own blog.
Love the baskets!! That is a great deal!!

You know, those handles were driving me nuts too! I kept thinking of the old fashioned potty chair bowls, LOL!
ReplyDeleteI am waiting for them to restock, then I'll load up on baskets! Hey, stop by my blog sometime :)
