If you've been to my classroom more than once, you may have noticed that furniture acquisition and re-arranging is one of my favorite teacher hobbies. I've been lobbying to poor Cameron to build some shelves in our living room because I have my eye on a tall bookcase from home that would look just lovely in one of the corners of my classroom. My classroom furniture obsession is problematic on many levels. Never mind the countless commutes to and from drop-off/pick-up locations, it is tough on the pocketbook! Still, I can't help but 'nest' in this nest, because first: it is my home away from home...and second: I truly believe kids work more productively when they are cozy and comfortable.
Last week, I rearranged AGAIN and I am so excited about the way the room 'feels' following this latest iteration of furniture swapping/moving. Lowering tables by removing the legs and raising others with cheap bed risers from Target have really helped spread kids out better and didn't cost much to execute. Take a peek and holler if you have any good ideas for my next round of swapping! -Lorrie P.S. I found out you can get cushion material cut to fit any size you'd like from this upholstery store off Ben White! Very nice for making your own floor cushions.
