Classroom Library Space

Help me give my students a beautiful classroom library area with a pink and dark blue theme! I want the space to be as calm and comfortable as possible!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Baumgartner's classroom raised $406

My Project

I want my students to feel as safe and comfortable as possible in my classroom library. We have very large windows and I want them to be able to read without having a ton of sun glare, as well as be able to see our classroom board. During whole group instruction, we struggle to see the board as the sun hits my room perfectly and creates a harsh glare. With the new rug, students will be able to spend time in the library space for calm down time, to read books, or to work on their projects. Our class theme is Alice in Wonderland, so these color choices fit perfect for my students and provide a sense of calmness.
