Crafty Library Cart

Hello blogger friends! I hope your summer is treating you well.
As I’m sure most of you do too, I am finding lots of summer projects to keep me busy! With no kiddos of my own and my husband in summer school- I’ve got a lot of time to spend in my classroom. Luckily my school allows us to be up there all summer- or I don’t know what I’d do!
Anyway, I have recently acquired a fantabulous {my husband likes to point at that this is not a word- but hey, I still like using it! } library cart.

I am going to be painting/designing it in some way that will go with my safari/jungle theme. I am so excited to have this in my room- I’ve already though of so many uses for it.
{Putting it by my reading group table, using it for our thematic books, math manipulatives…}
I’d love any crafty ideas you might have for making over this piece of fun for my classroom! :)

I made pieces for the kids to trace on manila folders and they traced, cut, and glued them on. I then cut writing paper that would fit on the back of the penguin. My students wrote about things penguins do. Read more
