Classroom Library

I love to read and I love books! One thing I do not have to worry about purchasing for my classroom is books. My boys have hundreds of them that will be making their way to my classroom in the future. The only problem I may have is that I have lots of books that appeal to boys and very few that would appeal to girls. I have 3 sons so that explains that mystery. I still need to figure out a way to organize said books in my classroom and that will primarily depending upon what my classroom comes with and the space allotted.

This is my favorite idea to date for housing my book collection. Do not look at the price tag... it is from Pottery Barn - enough said! It has 42 cubbies for books and is revolving. If I could label each book and shelf... I have 42 different sections. That would be amazing! Plus it is so neat and tidy. I can image the wooden letters from Hobby Lobby spelling out read sitting on top. Spray painting them with silver glitter for some sparkle. Ah... I love this idea!

Since furniture shopping has to wait until I at least know what district I will be working in and what the classrooms look like... I decided on labeling the books with at least my name for now. So... for my first Vistaprint creation I made address labels!

A couple things that I have since learned (but not soon enough) is that if you click advanced editing you can enlarge the font. I made several items before realizing this. I will do that for future orders. However, I really like how these came out. They are unique, easy to apply, and my boys had the job of labeling all of their books by placing one of these on the first page of the book.
