"The secret of good teaching is to regard the child's intelligence as a fertile field in which seeds may be sown, to grow under the heat of flaming imagination."

Feature Friday

Rain Gutter Book Displays

Today's feature is an inexpensive way to display books for your classroom..
You will need the following materials:
  • Plastic rain gutters from the home improvement store
  • Special scissors to cut your gutters to the correct length, or a very helpful home improvement store employee who will do it for you
  • End caps for the rain gutters
  • Screws
  • Electric screw driver or drill for attaching the gutters to the wall
  • Measuring tape
  • Books and stuffed characters to display
First, measure the area you will be using to display your books. Next, purchase and cut your rain gutters to size. Now, attach the end caps to the rain gutters. Finally, attach the rain gutters to the wall using your electric drill or screwdriver.

A great idea if you don’t have a lot of storage space – but have plenty of wall space.
