Book Jacket Junkie!

I heart book jackets. I do. I hate throwing them away, but leaving them on the books just doesn't work with little first grade hands. They're like works of art, but what to do with them? I've been collecting them forever, and a few years ago I decided to decorate with them. Behold- my book jacket wall!

From the ceiling...

 and the bottom...

I was super-sad at the end of last year when they said we had to take EVERYTHING off our walls so they could clean them. It takes awhile to get the jackets exactly where you want them and it's not exactly a quick and easy job. I decided that I wouldn't do it again if I was going to have to take them down because of the time involved, but then I decided to take a picture of them before I took them down. I just came up to school and stapled them (using my picture as a guide) and it took no time at all!

Cheap and easy decorating...Well, you buy the books, but I would do that anyway...

I read a question somewhere (probably the 2sisters website) about classroom design. It asked, "If a stranger walked into your room, could he/she tell what you value?"

I hope it's clear! :)
