New Get Wild About Reading Theme

Wow!  It has been really tough to get motivated knowing that our beloved principal will not be returning next year.  We are still on pins and needles wondering who will take her place.  To take my mind off of it, I've been working on my Media Center theme for next year.

After meeting with my media committee, I decided to go with the "Get Wild About Reading" theme.  

I had so much fun putting this packet together thanks to some cute graphics from Scrappin Doodles and Digi Web Studio.

After creating my signage, I used our poster maker to enlarge the signs for the doors and circulation desk.  Then I printed the smaller items and laminated everything before got started decorating.

Some of the teachers and staff were kind of laughing at me because my Media Center is ready to go and we've only been out of school for a few days.

What can I say?  I like to get things done.  

And now I can enjoy the rest of my summer, well, until July when I start working on my lesson plans.  =)
