IT ALL STARTED WITH TWO LITTLE OLE BEACH TOWELS
I've been reading Debbie Diller's SPACES AND PLACES this summer, and she suggests creating a defined whole group space with area rugs.
I don't like area rugs in the classroom.
They get disgusting almost immediately, and then you can't wash them.
I trip on them throughout the day, increasing my chances of breaking my neck.
They just don't hold up to the rough and tumble 4th grade set.
Then I had a HUGE brain explosion in the middle of Big Lots ... CLEAN UP IN AISLE 4, PLEASE! They had large beach towels on sale, and I thought, "hey, these would be perfect for an area rug. When they get grubby, I can take them home and wash them. Perfect!"
I was so excited that I immediately called Erin and Carrie. It was Carrie's turn to have the HUGE brain explosion. "You know," she says. "You always have a theme in your room. Why not this year have a beach theme?"
Fast forward to today ... my room looks like a Luau puked all over my room and outside of my door.
I left my camera at home, but will try to get photos taken this weekend to post. The good news is that, other than a few stray items here and there that I will be finding homes for as soon as I post this, my room is DONE! D.O.N.E.
YAY for me!
