This is my last summer Monday! The summer flew and it’s now over. I don’t have to work today but if my room is going to be ready for meet the teacher night, going in is kind of a must.
Made It One: I think we’ve all seen those amazing reading benches on Pinterest by now. These have been on my mind for years but I didn’t think I had room for one.

Now my original configuration was suppose to look like a corner bench, but the two little cubes didn’t work that way, so I stacked them up instead. I can’t wait to see my kids reading on this bench! Now to figure out what to put inside the cubes. I’m thinking book bins, manipulatives, or baskets for extra general storage.

The first set had a brights background, I then wanted to see what they would look like with a black background. I liked them both! I then made a white background version to complete the set. I’m having a hard time deciding which one to use…
